My friend has some "sexuality" issues...?
A friend of mine told me just a couple of days ago that he might be gay but he is confused. He moves like a gay person but he grew up with little to no male contact when he was young.
Anyway, he said, he is attracted only physically attracted to men with limited emotional attraction to them. However, with women, he said he feels more emotional attraction but little physical attraction to them.
He is confused. He also said he watches gay porn and disgusted by straight porn due to the fact he finds it degrading for women...
Just a note: This is a person that I counsel and since I am anonymous here (to some extent) I have decided to ask for other people's opinion.
Thank You
PS. He has a crush to a guy (but as I said, attracted to his physique and appearance)
And also to a girl (Attracted to her emotionally and by her physique as well though not as much as his crush to the guy)
In my opinion (you may not read this):
I believe he isn't gay. For the most part, physical attractions to men from men, I believe, are perfectly natural and might just be a man crush . What's your opinion?

I would suggest that he is dis-integrated. Perhaps he is more confused over the purpose of genital intimacy. If I were in a counseling position, I would try to show that emotional intimacy doesn't always have to include genital acts. In our culture today there is this idea that in order to "love" another one has to engage in sexual acts. I would also attempt to point out that human persons are exactly that: persons. Sexual pleasure simply for its own sake, only "uses" another as a means for self-gratification. When this happens, the personal dignity and worth of human beings is compromised. Your friend seems to already have a sense that this is wrong because of his attitude toward straight porn. This same attitude should also carry over to gay pron as well.

Why does he need to know if he's gay or not? I understand the situation he's experiencing, but regardless of what gender he's attracted to, he's going to fall in love eventually and it's impossible to predict what gender he'll fall in love with. If he needs to be labelled he should probably just label himself as bisexual for the time being.
