hey buddy! I am 18 and I have the same situation. I dont know what to do, I wish I were a normal man but I can't. When I think of men I automatically get aroused, which is weird. I am attracted to gay men, so maybe we can talk some more about this. Feel free to email me here at Dear Cupid.

I am very attracted to gay men. Thing is though, that is setting yourself up for a difficult path my dear. try to figure out what it is you like about gay men. Are you turned on by the fact that they like men? If so, then as you get older I'm sure there are communities that can help you accommodate your tastes, but they may be too far from conventional for you. A gay man is gay because he loves men, is attracted to men..etc. However,t hat does not go without saying if its possible for a hetero woman/man to fall in love with a gay woman/man, then why can't the roles be reversed. I think it's completely possible for a gay man to want a relationship with a straight woman. How to go about this I don't know, and the chances of finding a man into this are slim. If I were you I would communicate your feelings about gay men with a gay man, or better yet a male homosexual therapist. Find someone who has thought about this and has a logical conclusion.

Slash, which originated in the United States in the 1960s, is a type of amateur storywriting done by fans of a movie or a book, in which they take two straight male characters and fantasize about them actually being gay and having gay sex. The two amazing things about slash is 1) it's amazingly popular all over the world, and 2) it's written almost exclusively by straight women! At the very least, that tells us we're not alone - far from it. It's also tremendously enjoyable to read for girls such as you and me, but since you're 16 and I'm 46, I don't believe I should be giving you any links. Do your own research! :)))

You should see what people watch online these days the strangest things, I have heard some girls who like watching gay pornography but not in the way that you are attracted to them. Maybe you like something that you know you cant get, and when you wind up getting it you wont like it at all, because the truth is that if the guy is gay, then he will like men and if he is with you, then he wont be gay. maybe you could find a guy who was bisexual? That would work out.. Good Luck

You said it was a turn on "to watch 2 guys going at it"... I assumed you were looking at porn rather than peeping through windows at night haha.
No harm done.
Good Luck!! xx

This is perfectly normal.
Why would you want to look at porn with some girl in it if you are not gay? Lots of women like gay porn, in the same way lots of men like lesbian porn.
Not a good idea to talk to your mum about it as she probably doesn't even want to know you know what porn is, let alone are watching it.
Your friend is also a bit young to understand sexual desires to it's no wonder she reacted like this.
We are all a bit strange in what turns us on, just don't worry about it, enjoy what you enjoy and when the right boy comes along you won't want to watch that much porn anyway.
Good Luck!! xx

reader, anonymous, writes (3 August 2008): Guys always get all jokey and coy when they talk about lesbians, so why can't girls be attracted to gay men?Of course, I've seen my straight male friends confronted with my real lesbian friends, who haven't any desire to dress or act to please men, and don't have the least interest in sex with men. At the thought of ending up with one of these tough gals, the guys just shudder, even though they enjoy talking to them as friends. But the guys still dream about the "lipstick lesbians" they see in porn, basically a threesome looking for the right randy guy.So what you might have is kind of "pornitis". It may be that the gay men you see in movies or porn are not like real gay men. Often they're much better looking, for instance. Do you actually know any gay men as friends (you may have to wait until your 20s, when sexual identities are more established among your peers)? Have you tried watching porn developed for women? What's your feeling about straight sex where the woman uses a dildo on the guy? More straight guys than you could guess are into anal penetration (though this is not something I would spring on your average 17 year old virgin guy right off, wait till he's jaded with the vanilla stuff.)Anyway, I wouldn't worry too much. Don't feel bad about yourself. Believe me, somewhere out there is a guy (or two bi guys, if you end up swinging that way) who is perfect for you. Your fantasy's a bit unusual for a young girl, but someday you will be a match made in heaven for a guy with the right kink. Or you might find that eventually your fantasies move on and you become interested in something else. At any rate, keep your mind open and you will have a very happy sex life when the time comes. --from a lady old enough to be your mum

 Weird? Unnatural? Freak? Certainly not. A bit different? Maybe, but human sexuality comes in all sorts of shapes and sizes and everyone is attracted to different things, and you are certainly not the only woman attracted to gay men.There are lots of guys out there that contain the qualities that you find attractive but who aren't 100% gay and only interested in a relationship with other men. Some of them will be bisexual, others will identify as straight but will be effeminate. If it is the physical side of a "gay" relationship that you wish you could participate in there are ways round that too. Some women find satisfaction from using devices that allow them to simulate being male in the bedroom, and some men enjoy their partner doing so. The fact that such items are made and sold testifies to their being a demand for them!Like everyone you will have to find the right partner for you, and like everyone you have an idea of some of the qualities that they will have. It might be different from the qualities that your friend is seeking, but there is nothing wrong with that. After all, if everyone wanted exactly the same thing, there would be a shortage of suitable partners to go round!

I think you're reaction is perfectly normal! My daughter has friends with simular tastes and i assure you there is nothing unatural about it! You are still young so you may find this changes over time, if not its part of who you are - never forget that. You may find the deeper link of a gay guy as they are more emotional attractive, but there are straight guys who have the same qualities! however, if you feel it impossible, perhaps there's a possiblity of you dating bisexual guys? they have the qualities of gay men but are attracted to women too - it would be a good inbetween to help you make certain in your mind.
