This week, we turned to our community to answer the age-old question: Does watching gay porn make you gay? Here's what 6 FEASTERS had to say. As always, there's no right or wrong answer. We're all just here to start conversations and share opinions. Judgement free.
"Yes, but not in the way that you think. I think it definitely means you're attracted to and turned on by gay sex, which to me qualifies as gay behavior. but it doesn't have to define who you're attracted to forever. I think people are too afraid of the word gay- it can mean a lot of things."

"No. the reason i watch gay porn is because most heterosexual porn disturbs me. It's way too aggressive and degrading. I find girl-on-girl porn way more intimate, sweet, and sexy. but i still consider myself straight."
- She/Her, 25
"To me, porn is about getting off. If watching a guy get a blowjob gets me off, I don't care if a guy is the one doing it. It doesn't necessarily mean i want that in real life."
- He/Him, 17
"Yes. I hate to break it to you, but yes. I watched gay porn for years and I was in denial about it, but yeah. You like what you like."
- She/Her, 33
"No, and I'll tell you why. Without getting into too much detail, I watch a lot of fucked up stuff happen in porn. I don't have any desire to have sex in those ways or with those people, but I still watch it. Same goes for watching gay porn. Porn is like its own independent experience."
- He/They, 40
"I don't know. I'm still figuring that out myself. I used to think I watched gay porn because I watched too much porn and was getting desensitized to my usual material. But now I think it's influencing my taste in real life. I think i might just be into it? But i don't know if that applies to everyone."
- He/Him, 23
