Would a gay guy watch straight porn

78 replies

Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:01

Been seeing a guy for just under a year, sex live ok but not very often. There are quite a few things I’m unsure about with him and have niggling thoughts to him maybe being gay.
I saw his history on his phone, I admit, I looked, please don’t beat me up about it, I wanted to know.
Amongst the normal websites was some porn and it’s always basically boobs and bjs. Does this mean he’s definitely straight? I probably sound stupid but I get such a vibe from him and others have said similar, but surely if he gets off on women, he’s not gay?

There are quite a few things I’m unsure about with him like what? I mean if there's quite a few is it worth carrying on the relationship?

Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:04

@chillipenguin I’d rather not say as I may be accused of perpetuating stereotypes etc. I’m thinking of ending it but was curious about this aspect?

I know gay guys who watch straight and gay porn, I know straight men who watch gay, straight and trans porn.
Maybe talk to him if you’re worried he’s gay.

@MorganKitten But would a gay guy get turned on by large breasts etc, surely not

Yeah just speak to him. If you can't be open about your sexuality it's going to be a tricky relationship

Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:07

@Trying20 No, there’s more to it but I’d rather not divulge. I was just curious about the question I posed.

Have you seen him snogging a bloke?

Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:08

@chillipenguin No, nothing like that

Sorry to be blunt OP - are you asking if he could be gay because he’s into anal by any chance?
Did you find any gay porn among those sites?

Bisexuals also exist

Mosso · 28/08/2022 22:17

Is he into anal? Probably all the porn he's watching.

Draughtycatflapreturns · 28/08/2022 22:22

Has he persuaded you to grow a mustache?

Whostoblame · 28/08/2022 22:26

I know a very gay guy who shivers and grimaces at the mere thought of a vagina. But fucking loves boobs so they do exist.

Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:27

@Facecream No, no anal at all, no porn with it either or gay porn, literally mainly boob w and bjs

OP posts:
Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:28

@Whostoblame Loves boobs sexually though? Like would watch and enjoy that

OP posts:
Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:29

@ScaryFaces But wouldn’t a bisexual watch gay porn too?

OP posts:
Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:30

@Trying20 Wouldnt it give an indication though? I mean that’s what I’m asking, would a gay guy get off on straight porn, I always assumed obviously not

Arousal is an individual thing. It might be worth a conversation, it might not.
If you're in this much doubt he might be wrong for you

brightnesses · 28/08/2022 22:32

The answer to your question is yes. A gay man can watch and sexually enjoy straight porn. They may like to look at boobs or whatever else. Just because someone is gay it doesn’t mean they don’t get sexually turned on to women at all (obviously a lot of gay men don’t).

Some gay men can be sexually turned on by straight porn and women’s body but the thought of actually kissing a woman and being in a relationship with them is horrid to them. I literally have a friend like that so yes it is possible.

If you think he’s gay then why are you with him? You mentioned the sex life isn’t great so I’m assuming that bothers you? Why be with him then

I probably shouldn't admit this!! .... but here we go! ... I thought my boyfriend of the time was gay. I was completely convinced, but fancied him anyway and found him intriguing, so kept dating him anyway, and kept hoping he wasn't gay!!

One day I found a secret stash of VHS videos (yes, this was a while ago) - they were all porn!! Not gay porn, regular heterosexual porn. (I thought it was hillarious!! He was completely mortified at my find!!!!!!!!)

15 or 16 years later .... I've been married to him 12 years now!!! Pretty sure now that he's not gay!!!

Sometimes our gaydar or gay vibes are just wrong! :) I'm pretty open, so if he had been bisexual I might have kept seeing him as I was completely in love with the guy!! But anyway, he's definitely heterosexual, not bi or gay and now a very boring (but still wonderful) husband, father and working married man :)

@brightnesses But surely you wouldn’t always seek out that sort of porn to get off on if you were in fact gay? Surely you’d go for the gay porn?

OP posts:
Theanswerisblowinginthewinds · 28/08/2022 22:35

@Trying20 The porn is so obviously straight porn though
