"   Question I am male, but I\u2019m unclear as to what my sexuality is. I am well able to appreciate whether a man is good looking or not.  The same is true as regards women. However, when it comes to having any sexual desire for either sex, there is little or none.  I find it easier to identify men as attractive, and in my opinion, the male form is more interesting to look at. However, the sight of a man\u2019s penis, to me, is disgusting, and the thought of anal sex is absolutely revolting.  While the prospect of sex with a woman isn\u2019t particularly desirable; the sight of a vagina is almost as off-putting.  However, I find it much easier to imagine having sex with a woman, than having sex with a man.  I am so frustrated by this that I have recently tried looking at explicit images of gay and straight sex. I am more turned on by the latter, though it takes some effort.  That said, I do feel the desire to have sex or at least to masturbate. Lately, though, my erections have been less firm than I remember they used to be.  As you can appreciate, this has been the source of a great deal of concern to me. And you will also appreciate that this is quite embarrassing an issue to talk about too.  To add to the problem, my religion is very anti-homosexuality and I don\u2019t have a problem with that. I would find very unhelpful any advice along the lines of &amp;#039;You must experiment/do whatever feels good/natural to you&amp;#039;.  I sincerely hope you will answer this question for me as it affects me every day of my life. Is there anything that can be done about this (however undesirable medically speaking you think it may be)?  I have no desire to be gay.    Answer David writes: Well, it doesn&amp;#039;t really sound all that likely that you&amp;#039;re gay \u2013 though I do wonder why you&amp;#039;ve been thinking so much about it.  What strikes me very forcibly is that for a 22-year-old man, you seem to have very litte sexual desire.  I note from your medical history that you had a testicle removed as a baby. Usually, the other one would take over its function, but not always.  So you could well be hormone-deficient.  Therefore, I think it&amp;#039;s imperative that you go to your doctor and ask for:  a full physical examination a blood test to check your levels of hormones (testosterone and prolactin).  Good luck. Christine adds: I think \u2013 as David does \u2013 that it&amp;#039;s essential you get this matter looked into on a physical basis.  I also wonder whether you&amp;#039;d like to be able to talk to someone about your sexual feelings and also about your anxiety about your sexual orientation.  As you are under the age of 25, I think the best thing you can do is to ring the Brook advisory service for young people&amp;#039;s helpline.  The person on the other end of the phone will doubtless be of some help to you. But if you happen to live near enough one of the Brook centres, then you may well want to go in for some face-to-face counselling.  The helpline can advise you where all their various branches are.  Best wishes.
