Why feel the need to put labels on things, if that’s what you do and that’s what you feel, that’s ok as long as everything’s safe and legal.

I guess I have to accept the fact I just embarrassing stuff. People can become whoever they want in life whether it’s bi/gay or straight. I feel I am 100% straight I guess my mind playing tricks on me.

Telling myself I watched gay porn bla bla I would like a girlfriend but for now I’m focusing on myself and becoming a better version of myself.

Bro, you do you

It's the UK in 2024, so unless you're Muslim or something, no one gives a flying f**k about sexuality these days (TBF labels are so damn confusing these days lol).

Whatever floats your boat and doesn't sink mine... it's all good 👍️

He'd have to keep that side secret then, no? From what I've heard it can be difficult to date women as an openly bi guy?

I'm confused. Either I'm missing something obvious or you're some kind of Mystic Meg type person.

From what he's written, how on earth did you conclude that he's an Everton fan :confused:

No, I could be wrong, but I think @JDE98 means giving it up completely, and going "Cold Turkey".

IMHO, it's not that different to any other psychological addition... the only difference here is that due to the nature of this addictive substance, it's possible to conceal this from your friends / family and they'd be none-the wiser; but the underlying mechanics are the same. Take alcohol, for example... as you get used to a certain level of alcohol, you'll need more to get that same "high"; this is what looks like is happening to you; you've admitted yourself that you got "bored of straight porn", so you're seeking more alternative stuff to get the same "hit". Most hard drug addicts tend to have started off smoking weed, and move on to harder substances. IMHO, it's not normal for a straight guy to look at gay porn...therefore, we have to ask:- 'Is there a risk of you moving into even more extreme and illegal acts?' I don't know; maybe, maybe not. Still, given the potential consequences of illegal porn possession, do you want to take the chance?

Recovering alcoholics tend to cut booze out of their lives completely; those who are serious /determined to beat their addiction don't have a cheeky drink on the weekend, or even at the end of the month for fear they may relapse. Moreover, too much porn can not only warp your ideas about sex, but can also train you to become a voyeur; by this I mean you get more turned on by watching sex/ sex acts rather than doing them yourself. Porn can also act like a substitute for sex or a girlfriend, and so it's absence in your life may-well be the kick up the backside you need to pull your finger out and actually look for a girl in real life?

Put a parental filter on your Internet or something lol

That’s the worst way possible to approach it. By making it something you wait for you are treating it like a reward, when it is the complete opposite. All you are doing is increasing your dependency on it whilst disillusioning yourself Genuinely messes up how you see things bro if you really want to quit do it permanently

I do really want to quit but obviously with me I go back to even if I quit and block it I would still go back to it. I tried to quit before but I only lasted uo two 11 days and just feels impossible to complete a month without masturbating.

I'm doing everything I can to quit but it seems impossible for me. Sick and tired of ******* but I just cant seem to stop.

You're right, I got that one wrong.

Gooner is an Arsenal fan... but as a Spurs fan, I can't bring myself to mention that name

To save any confusion, just call it as it is, he's a w****er (in the context of this thread, it's technically true and not an insult ; ).)

It's all about will power and /or mind over matter.

Unlike an addiction to something like nicotine or opium, this is only a mental addiction, and not a physical addiction. You only THINK you can't do it, but you can train your mind to do without it.

What else do you do in your spare time besides "fapping?" Find some other things to do, so your mind doesn't wonder off and start thinking of smut. I would personally suggest doing a physical exercise, as that will burn off some excessive testosterone. It's the perfect excuse to embark on some sort of training regime if you don't already train... and if you do, then use this as an opportunity to "up the ante".

Others may disagree, but I don't think the masturbation itself is the real problem here (although anything taken to excess / extreme is bad for you)… but it's the porn element that's the real danger in your scenario. You can "fap" without porn, people and animals have been doing that way way way before porn was "invented"

Maybe have the George Formby song as a ringtone or an alarm whenever you try and load up some "right-handed websites" may help 🤣

On a serious note, if the presenter / comedian / "3Lions" (football's coming home) author Frank Skinner can not touch a drop of alcohol since 1986, I think you're capable of doing this if you want it bad enough and with the right mind-set /support.

think about these very very wise words:-
Whether you think you can or you can't do it... you're probably right (Henry Ford (circa 1920))

Hi sorry for the late reply so I can move on with my life and be straight as I guess I just given up on girls and getting a girlfriend. As I do get a lot of attention from women as I am too afraid to approach and in general I just am too afraid of girls.

I would like it to happen someday but it really does t happen like I go the gym have a masters degree and got a job and I am hopefully will be moving on to an apprenticeship.

Why are you afraid of girls? Is it a fear of rejection?

Like yourself, I've bottled asking out girls in the past (purely down to believing my own inadequacies)… as well as those who blew me out. I regret far more the ones who I didn't ask out, and am still asking myself "what if..." or "if only" on some of them. I'm honestly not too bothered about the ones that said "No" (for whatever reason). You'll only get rejected harshly if you're creepy / sleazy in your approach... or you use some dumbass chat-up line.

A couple of these quotes may help you see sense:-

Ships are safest when they're in the harbour... but that's NOT what ships were built for.

If you want to see a rainbow, you'll need to put up with the rain first.

If you want to make an omelette, you first need to beat eggs.

Well unless you've got a Fairy Godmother or something, it's not going to happen just because you want it to. You'll need to be proactive and start creating opportunities for yourself to meet people and overcome your fears of girls. A good starting place would be honestly answering the first question I asked in this post... Why are you afraid of girls? Once you have the answer, you can then start formulating a viable plan.

You're a grown man now, so if you want it bad enough, you'll find the time somehow to meet someone... making out that you're "busy" all the time, is just an excuse to stay in your comfort zone... because you're afraid that if you do try, your brain is going to explode and ooze out of your ears.
