Question:
Im 14. One time I was watching pornography with a friend and we started masturbating. Later on he asked if he could see my penis and then go down on it with his mouth once. I reluctantly let him. After that he had me do the same to him once. And another time I was watching pornography with the same person and he offered to jack me off if I did the same to him. I agreed. Does this make me homosexual. I also always want to know the size of other boys penises because i am constantly afraid mine is small. Is this some type of disorder?

Yours is a question that I get frequently from young males. What it sounds like is that you and the other friend are experimenting with various sexual behaviors after watching pornography. At your age, experimentation and curiousity is very "normal" and natural. It means nothing about your attractions or who you will be as an adult.

Pornography is designed to be arousing, and you may be able to tell more about your sexual attractions by the pornography you were watching than by the sex acts that followed. Were you turned on by what was in the videos? Were the turn ons to the male or the female or both?

All of these contribute to your development and there really isn't any way that your experimental behavior is necessarily connected to your future sexual orientation.

You also mentioned being worried that your penis is small. At your age, you would expect it to be. It takes several years of growing before males develop very large, adult penises. Since you are 14, you may not have really started to grow yet. So, don't worry. It isn't size that really counts anyway. BEing a good lover to someone is far more important than what sizs of a penis you have. You don't even need a penis to be a good lover.

Thanks for writing and feel free to ask more questions if you have them.
