Arousal is complex and includes a spectrum of experiences. People can enjoy a sensual experience or fantasy that wouldn't really work for them sexually in real life. They could enjoy a sexual experience but not have romantic feelings that match. They could try something for the adventure or novelty and be done with it, or it could open doors to new experiences and relationships.

As long as people are safe, healthy, and respectful of others, exploring can be great way to learn about themselves and relationships.

You ask if other people feel that way, not about that particular practice, but I definitely expanded my experience beyond what I thought it would be as I learned and experienced more. In other words, my turn-ons definitely changed over time as I was exposed to more experiences, but my fundamental sexual orientation didn't change. less

Dear LGP,
I may not be the best person to advise here - I'm sure our LGBTQ+ contributors would have a more experienced go at your answer - but I believe that nothing can "make" you other than what you already are. No amount of anal play will ever turn a straight man into a gay man. It can be possible that you are only just discovering and facing these feelings now although you've had them for a long time - maybe you're just curious, maybe there's more to it. I encourage you to investigate those feelings, listen to yourself, talk to your partner. I'm sure some great advice will appear here, as well.

Best of luck! less

Thank you for the good advice I guess I have always been a good looking cute man I have had women tell me that ever since I was a teenager I am a service man so I go to many different houses I have had many women hit on me along with many men also I want to one house in Detroit a very wealthy black man's house him and three of his gay buddies were there in the four of them are trying to talk me into staying and partying with them I know what they wanted I told them no in a real nice way but I always wonder what would have happened if I would have stayed I even fantasize about it sometimes less

Well, that's just like PolyGirl said - you may have different fantasies, some of them may even seem a bit "weird", but it's absolutely ok.

For example, one of my fantasies include gettin' sexy with more than one partner, but, due to many reasons, I would never act on that fantasy. It doesn't mean I will ever quit fantasizing about it

On the other hand, you may go even further than splitting your sex life into fantasy vs reality. You can have things that would remain fantasies forever, some things you tried once and won't go back to them, and then other things that become part of your erotic menu forever.

Experiencing SEXperiences is fun less

In my case, "pegging" myself for several years with bigger and bigger dildos eventually made me gay curious. After all, if a dildo or plug feels good in the ass why wouldn't a nice big, hard cock?

My curiosity led me try to hook up with tops for sex on gay hook up sites. Because all the tops I'd agree to meet first wanted to get sucked, I had to be willing to try it and, to my surprise, I discovered that I really love sucking cock! Once I realized that I knew that giving head would always precede any chance of getting topped. I say "any chance" because often once I got the top off with my mouth they wouldn't be able to get it up again to top me. When I finally did get topped, I loved it too!

So, in my case, because I still love straight sex with women, my pegging did not make me 100% gay but it did definitely make me bi-sexual! I love sucking cock and getting topped as much as, and maybe even a little more than, sex with women! However, it didn't make me "gay" in the sense that I only want to have romantic relationships and sex with men. My bisexuality has nothing to do with romance and is 100% about sex! So I'd advise any guy whose pegging has made him curious about how the real thing feels to be prepared to be "turned out". ???? less

Very hot story! I feel like I’m in a similar place now that you were then! I’ve been really into getting pegged and love getting penetrated or riding dildos, also keep working my way up in larger dildos. I also have many realistic/phallic dildos that I sometimes am more into than non-realistic dildos. I think it’s different for everyone, some men may only like non-phallic ones if they are purely into the penetration pleasure and not into the appearance of penises. I think some of the previous posters explained it exactly, the sensation itself doesn’t make you bi or gay unless you are also sexually and/or romantically interested in men. However, if you may have underlying bicurious feelings, having some good pegging or penetration may certainly awaken that within you!

I find myself aroused and into the look of penises themselves oftentimes, although I do not generally consider myself attracted to the rest of the male body. Very excited by and interested in trying a real one sometime both taking it and sucking it! Wife is fully supportive of me doing this at some point (and also has her own bicuriosity she would like to explore). We have just not been fully ready to dive into it quite yet. I don’t consider myself romantically interested in men at all, just the sexual interest. less

As a result of my gay hook-ups I too have come to be aroused by, and appreciate the beauty of, the penis while also not really being attracted to or aroused by the rest of the male body! I have an online friend that I send pics and videos of my "peggings" to while he sends me pics of his penis. His penis, which has to be about 8 inches, is one of the most beautiful penises I've ever seen. It is so perfect that it could be the model for a realistic dildo! I drool at the thought of taking his beautiful cock in my mouth and butt! less
