can you turn gay from excessive masturbating?

[Paul4Life]

I looked a site recently and it shocked me ( fool I was) but as a man I do this regulary and get pleasure from it. Since looking at the site i have had panic attacks thinking that it can turn you, and I can't switch off. i'm taking citalopram for my anxiety. :weep:

[nomorepanic]

Nope it can't at all. You are either gay or not and masturbating does not change that

[EliStarr*]

You don't just turn gay, you're born gay, just as you're born bi sexual, or straight...

:flowers:

Sorry, I know this is the male issues page, but just wanted to say if this was the case I think the majority of the population would be gay lol

[Greenman50]

[Justinf]

Ha! No you can't. Go for it!

[Mark13]

The title gave me a laugh. Thanks for that.

And to answer your question, if masturbation made you gay, all men would be gay :)

BTW I've just noticed someone's resuurected an old thread, but it was worth it for the smile it brings :)

[HotLad86]

Blimey i do it a few times aweek im not gay...

[blue October]

Thanks for the smile Paul.

When the citalopram kicks in, Im sure just peaking maybe a achievement, who ever your thinking about :)

[Londonguy71]

Agree with mark there. Very few men are gay as the majority are straight. Just enjoy it for what it is, a temporary relief from your natural sexual urges. And it's a great sleep aid too.

It must be a wind up , everyone knows it makes you go blind :)

[AuntieMoosie]

Sorry, I was going to reply.......but I can't see :winks:

[silent bob]

you cant be turned gay by excessive masturbation your born that way. All guys love to play with what they have (and most in excessive quantities) because it is right there for all to see and do whatever with and you would have inclinations by now if you were attracted to the same sex. And whats wrong with gay anyway? I'm a full fledged homo and wouldn't have it any other way :)

[lennon183]

Sexuality is a spectrum though isn't it?
I guess people can get turned on by all sorts of things. Probably doesn't mean they're one thing or the other.

Excessive masturbation requires plenty of fuel, i.e. porn. If you view a lot of porn, you become desensitized to it. This can lead you to explore areas you might otherwise avoid, more extreme or different genres. This might well include gay material depending on your tendencies. So it's not black and white.

[joelhall]

No. Either you do find men sexually attractive or you don't. It's not masturbation which causes it.

[Andy699]

I'm gay and I have always been. Even if I watched straight porn for the rest of my life, I still wouldn't be able to turn straight haha :')

[AndrewNolan]

I can say with absolute certainity that if excessive masturbation turned you gay every teenage boy would now be a gay! I have had similar worries myself in the past but fortunately they are completely unfounded :-)

[gypcyg]

If this is true then I should've turned gay by age 18 - I couldn't leave it alone (if you know what I mean :) )

I'd be wary of porn too - once you've watched something you can't unsee it - and porn has become so aggressive and dehumanising. Close your eyes and fantasize!

My dad caught me masturbating when I was 15, he said "too much of that will stunt your growth and make you go blind!" I said "I'm over here shorty".

[Speranza]

I suspect any website which gives that kind of [mis]information has some ulterior motive, maybe it was a religious person who wrote it for example...
