Im not talking about nude guy pics, I dont want to look at those. But like for the past week Ive been paranoid at looking at pics of guys in magazines. I've always been straight but I fear that if I look at a guy Im gay for doing so. It's very frustrating. I love women and I always have and this is getting out of control. Do you have any advice for me to conquer this stupid fear? Im sure Im not gay.

It's sad that so much homophobia exists that you are afraid to even be called gay.
I don't care if you look at pictures of guys. Sometimes I look at Lindsey Lohan.

Yeah, even if you do sometimes get aroused by some abercrombie and fitch dudes, you still like girls. You are not gay. You love women. A few of my friends are in similar, not exact locations. They are straight, but they can tell if a guy is good looking or not. Our sexualities are all in different quantities, and there is nothing anyone can do. Not to make you fear, but you might just be curious, or going through a phase. You are who you are. As far as advice, keep looking at guys in magazines. Feel free. If you honestly start to get turned on by someo of the things, again, do not panic. In all reality, this could just be a phase of growing up. I am bi, and was in a denial phase, like most GLBT people. This was only out of fear of society. Just don't be worried or too sure... If i go into an exam thinking I did ok, that certainly makes it easier for me to go ahead and accept the results. That way, I am aware of any results that may occur and will be less of a shock. Good luck. If you really need to talk this over feel free to contact me. I help moderate a teenage forums so I'm used to this stuff. :) Bye!

Do you know how perfectly straight girls like to label other girls as "hot" or whatever the case may be, and they don't think this is odd. Guys find this repulsive. They are just afraid to be labled gay. You know you aren't gay, right? You should be comfortable with your sexuality, and if you are straight, then what does it matter? Fear is something in the mind and only in the mind. It only has as much power as you give it. Maybe you admire how they look. Maybe (corny, but normal) you might want to be like them. Ponder that.
PS: There are such thing as bi sexuals. I'm not saying you are, but just in case you have second thoughts about a guy, remember, a bi has the most options. JK! Good luck!

There's a difference between admiring someone physically and being sexually attracted to them. I think Halle Berry is _gorgeous_, but it's not a sexual thing. The same is true for some handsome guys.
Lighten up :) Go ahead and look at the pics. It's no big deal if you're straight, gay, bi, or even asexual. It's not something you have to broadcast to the world. Don't force yourself to be one way or another. You might miss out on an amazing relationship :)

Well - you sound concerned so you must be having some sort of feelings....you really need to just reflect on those feelings. Don't rush to any conclusions.......just explore your thoughts. What are your feelings when looking at the the pictures...what do you admire - are you admiring or desiring the guys in the photos??? Only you can answer how you feel - then just be honest with yourself. Lets face it looking at a picture of a cow doesn't make you a farmer, right? SO looking @ a picture of a guy doesn't make you gay.

How old are you? Have you been with women along time? Have you thought about men like this for a while? Could it be just jealousy that these men in mags are really built?
Relax a little. We are so consumed with what we are supposed to be, supposed to do. Maybe talk to your g/f about it and see if she like the physiques also. Make a joke about it. Take it easy. Give it a little time. See what your feelings are after a couple of months.

LOL no ur safe to look at pics of fellas or take pics does not make u gay we all like to admire bodys male or female, its when you ... say.... fall in love as u would a girl or vice versa then ur entering a gay world .. to be BI is a litle diffrent as one likes both sexes and enjoys the better of 2 worlds ..
No one is born a gay or bi or lesbion its triggerd off by various feelings towards someones vibs from the the body wanting to seek favours from another. such as touch and enjoyment leeds to other explorations hence the gay person is born.
ITS NO SIN AS GOD gave us the body of life to enjoy.
just enjoy what u see and be happy.

If you look at the pictures, and it arouses you, then you may be gay. Of course, you could be bi, or just curious. Just looking at a picture doesn't make you anything. Why are you so scared? Maybe that's the question you should try to answer.

Looking at pictures of guys does not make you gay, anymore than looking at pictures of girls makes you straight. Do you find yourself aroused when you look at the pictures? Do you have sexual feelings for guys when you see them? Those are the things that would give you a hint as to your sexual preference.
Sounds to me as though you might be homophobic, but that's my humble opinion.

So why suddenly so paranoid about looking at guy pictures..if you are not that that's nothign to worry about...perhaps you should do away your homophobic feelings once you are fine with that who cares..its not like you need to prove to the world you are straight.....
