Ask QC: I Get Aroused When I See Myself Naked!

Hi guys,

I’m not sure if this is considered ‘normal’ for a gay man, but when I see myself naked or in sexy underwear in the mirror, or in photos I have taken, I get so totally aroused. I mean, I get the hardest boner and much more so than if I’m looking at another hot guy, or even having sex with a hot guy. I find when I’m having sex I have to keep glancing in the mirror, or think of images of my own body to keep myself hard.

I’m 19 yo, work out 5 to 7 times a week and have a really fit body, although I would say my looks are only just above average. I don’t have a boyfriend but I regularly date guys and can get as much sex as I want. But I’m now wondering if this normal or just weird as I seem to be less and less turned on by other guys bodies, in fact to the point where I would rather just masturbate in front of the mirror than bother to have sex with someone else. Have other guys experienced this and what should I do, if anything, to try to change?

Thanks,

John

We all love ourselves, to varying degrees, but when is self-love too much? Is it common for gay men to display more narcissistic behavior than heterosexuals or is this just a personality trait people experience in their formative years?
