I am a single man and I have a big insecurity
The story
I am a 20 year old man in university. I was raised in a religious household and wasn't allowed to date. Despite leaving my religion I have remained single due to the fact that I want to put my life together before getting into a relationship and also I have been struggling with my mental health for the past 2-3 years.
My mental health has improved in some areas however I am struggling with a huge insecurity related to women and it's caused me to become very depressed and suicidal. Just to clarify I don't hate women I just feel really confused and depressed.
A while back I came across many articles and studies that claim that straight women watch lesbian porn. So my question is why do so many "straight" women watch lesbian porn? None of the explanations I've heard make any sense at all and seem like excuses. As a straight man I don't get aroused by watching men kissing or sucking each other's cocks. If women don’t like straight porn because it’s too violent why don’t they watch straight porn that focuses on the woman’s pleasure? It’s not hard to find at all. I looked it up and there are plenty of sensual straight porn that focuses on the woman’s pleasure yet women choose to watch lesbian porn. Again I think the women who say they watch it because “it’s sensual and I like to imagine myself in the woman’s place” are just making excuses and are bisexuals or lesbians in denial. If I as a man said “I get turned on by watching two men kissing and sucking each other’s cocks but I’m 100% straight I just imagine myself in the man’s place” everyone would look at me like I’m crazy and rightfully so. As a straight man I don’t like to watch gay porn and I’m disgusted by it. I watch porn that only has women in it because I am 100% straight and I am not attracted to men at all. Yet women seem to prefer getting off to other women and make excuses that people believe.
I believe that little to no women on this planet are straight and the vast majority if not all are either lesbian, bisexual, or comphet (conditioned by society to be straight but deep down lesbian or bisexual).
I’m a straight man and I just want to be with a real straight woman who will love me the same way I love her and as much as I love her. I feel like this is not possible and it’s made me really depressed and suicidal.
Someone please help. If there are any truly straight women out there tell me this isn’t true and it’s just the internet. Or if not explain to me why so many “straight" women watch lesbian porn because I'm honestly confused.

hey!
gotta say i don’t really see it the same way 😅 women watch stuff for all kinds of reasons it doesn’t mean they're not straight: "different strokes for different folks", right? (and all the women are not watching that of course, just some of them...some are not even watching porn, etc.) maybe there's more to it than just labels and simple answers... stay open-minded: who knows what the future holds for you!
just stay cool and positive and you’ll find your way!

6d agoyeah whatever,,, agree with ya mostly 🤷♂️ but ain't sure it's all that simple😒 ever think maybe people just say crap to fit in???? i mean i've seen stuff that ain't exactly straightforward if ya know what i mean...🙄 labels are tricky and overrated if u ask me!!!! tried figuring it out before and just got more confused lol 😆 just saying it ain't all rainbows 🌧️ anyways good luck dude you're gonna need it!!!
just wanna share some thoughts; not really on the same page with you here 🤔 maybe the stuff you read is just a piece of the puzzle??? preferences in media consumption don't always define orientation, everyone has a unique user experience... think broad not binary!
labeling people just by what they watch really oversimplifies things!!! hope you find clarity but it might not be as black-and-white as you're thinking 😅
These replies... Smh this is the same stuff I've heard a million times. Just excuses. If a person is truly straight they wouldn't be aroused by the same sex period. I'm honestly astonished with all of this.
And not one "straight" woman denied watching lesbian porn. I guess straight woman don't exist. Either that or they're extremely rare.

5d agoI think you're overthinking this... I am a straight woman and I don't watch lesbian porn: I don't even know any friends who watch that (most of them are simply just not watching porn). I guess these articles are mostly clickbait articles but it's far from the reality!!!
Glad to read your mental health has improved, good for you! :) If you are still insecure with women, try to start dating but slowly or also start making new female friends!
I advise you to "simply" stop thinking about this subject about women and lesbian porn... mostly fake: yep maybe a few women watch that but far from the majority...
