Q: Latent homosexual - Possible OCD
asked by: joe18503 on September 23rd, 2008

First off, my psychiatrist says I'm a latent homosexual -- predominantly a heterosexual male, but a latent homosexual. I've never had a homosexual experience in my life and am not interested in one. The realistic possibility of sexual contact with a man really grosses me out. My sexual experiences are limited to women and they are very enjoyable for me.

My homosexual thoughts began at puberty. When I was a boy I had no sexual interest in other boys. I experience my homosexual thoughts as instrusive, alien and painful. I do not fantasize about performing homosexual acts with other men. I am aroused by the sight of attractive men. I masturbate to thoughts of or pictures of physically attractive men. When I fantasize about women I think about performing sex acts with women. The instrusive and alien nature of my homosexual thoughts leads me to wonder whether they may be an expression of OCD -- obsessive compulsive disorder.

I'm aroused only by anonymous, good-looking men. I will see a good-looking guy on the street, for example, and fantasize about him during a private moment. I masturbate to gay porn.

I'm not at all attracted to guys I know. When I'm in a locker room, I'm not at all aroused by guys I know -- only the anonymous, good looking ones.

I had a good-looking roommate in college. I used to see him naked all the time and was never aroused by him. I never had any sexual thoughts or feelings about him. I masturbated very little when we were roommates and never to him.

When I tell straight guys about this, they say I'm homosexual. But it's more complex than that. I don't consider myself bisexual because I'm not equally attracted to men and women. Again, only anonymous, attractive men are a turn on for me. It's really weird, I admit it.

Is there anybody else like me out there?

Hey
Yes i am kind of going through the same thing, i have a Girlfriend who is bisexual and i ask many questions of her to see what it is actually like. I dont think i could see myself actually doing anything with another guy, but sometimes like you said those thoughts come in. It even goes as far as i would rather watch porn with men and woman as oppose to just woman. so maybe if we chat and get things on the table we can figure all of this out. I wouldnt consider myself homosexal becuase i have a girlfriend, but when i work out at the gym and im showering there might be this guy with the body of a greek god and it gets me to think so then i hurry out of the shower not to get embarressed. but i think a small part of it has to be that i want to have that body and how attractive it is to have that body does that make sense??

I went thru this when I was 14-19. I am gay but I never wanted to do anything with a guy and only thought about guys when I j/off but it was a curiousity and an attraction to non - camp, attractive guys my age who I did NOT KNOW and it freaked me out completely because I used to j/off to girls..

you know when you start jacking off, well i wondered if other guys did too and it helped with the guilt it became a habit.. as my body started to change (get hairier) I was curious about other guys.. being curious about myself I would j/off infront of the mirror and this prob intilled that male image further.

I have a bf. he always wants anal sex but its not really my thing.. it it pleasurable coz the male g-spot is up there but its more trouble than its worth..

i'm 28 btw

Im 21 yrs old and I consider myself a bi-sexual male due too the fact of like u IM NOT GAY. As an crazy, logial answer to myself and my sexuality I had sex with a man to decide my curiousity. I believe that its completely normal to have "thoughts" or even an attraction to the same sex due to simple curiosity. Im not saying go have sex with a random guy (I didnt) but it will definetly be a huge factor in your decision making.

Just as you Joe I j/o to gay porn to question myself and it was scary!! Not having attractions to the people you know is a level of mutual respect that you have towards your peers which I also completely can relate too.

As of now I have a great boyfreind but I know I am bi because I can still be sexually aroused by a women. It could be a phase or denying the enevitable...

Kinsey's Heterosexual-Homosexual Rating Scale
Males do not represent two discrete populations, heterosexual and homosexual. The world is not to be divided into sheep and goats. It is a fundamental of taxonomy that nature rarely deals with discrete categories... The living world is a continuum in each and every one of its aspects,

While emphasizing the continuity of the gradations between exclusively heterosexual and exclusively homosexual histories, it has seemed desirable to develop some sort of classification which could be based on the relative amounts of heterosexual and homosexual experience or response in each history... An individual may be assigned a position on this scale, for each period in his life.... A seven-point scale comes nearer to showing the many gradations that actually exist.

Kinsey, et al. (1948). Sexual Behavior in the Human Male.
Kinsey Scale



0- Exclusively heterosexual with no homosexual
1- Predominantly heterosexual, only incidentally homosexual
2- Predominantly heterosexual, but more than incidentally homosexual
3- Equally heterosexual and homosexual
4- Predominantly homosexual, but more than incidentally heterosexual
5- Predominantly homosexual, only incidentally heterosexual
6- Exclusively homosexual

those thoughts
But guess what guys..only 10% of the world's male population is 100% heterosexual..the other 10% is completey gay, while the rest of the world's men, (WHO LIVE STRAIGHT LIVES) are in between..(they have homosexual thoughts, fantasies and many have done it) but due to social pressures they preffer the opposite sex as the norm. What I'm trying to say is that most of the straight friends that you know have similar thoughts and fantasies, however they are hesitant on acting out those thoughts.

I masturbate to kissing a boy or sometimes giving him head, yet ive never been attracted to a guy in my whole life, i've only had crushes on girls and when i do masturbate to these thoughts i feel depressed and suicidal, i nearly slit my wrists at one point, but i only love women and if i scrutinize the thoughts properly i don't like the thought of being in a relationship with a man it just is not me also whenever i think of being in a relationship with a woman it makes me smile and i feel happy. I have a girlfreind we've kissed and she has touched my groinal area and i was really aroused, but even so i still have to check whether i am gay or not, by watching gay porn to reassure myself and i keep doing this, gay fantasies and gay porn does not give me an erection however mastuburbating to them i orgasm why is this i am so sad is this hocd or repressed homosexuality please help! SadSadSadSad P.S I am 19 and just only discovered masturbation 2 months ago

First of all your psychiatrist should never be identifying your sexuality unless it's in relation to treatment of a mania or obsession and even then they're not qualified to identify a sexual preference that you're not comfortable with.

If you want to find out why you're totally totally straight but keep masturbating to gay porn psychology is the medicine you should be looking into.

I realize that not everyone likes bisexuals but if you're sexually attracted to men and you're sexually attracted to women then it's really ok to identify yourself as one. Telling yourself that you're straight because you'd never sleep with a close male friends is kind of like telling yourself that you're gay because you only ever have sex with strange women you meet at clubs. I wouldn't sleep with my close friends of either gender, but I run with a pretty unattractive crowd. You have a sexual attraction to both genders, you're bisexual, you're like most people on the planet and it's fine for you to be this way.
