24m needing advice about urges.
Im a married straight male and lately I’ve been noticing something about myself that’s been making me feel confused and honestly a little guilty. Whenever I’m in a locker room or gym setting, I catch myself looking at other men more than I feel like I should. Not necessarily in an intentional creepy way, but enough that I’ve started questioning why I’m doing it.
I’ve always considered myself straight and I love my wife. I’ve never had a relationship with a man or seriously thought about men romantically. But recently I’ve been more aware of myself noticing other guys’ bodies, comparing myself, or just feeling drawn to look.
Part of me wonders if it’s normal curiosity/comparison, insecurity, or something deeper that I’ve ignored. Another part of me worries I’m overthinking something harmless. I also feel ashamed even posting this because I don’t want to disrespect my marriage or sound dishonest about who I am.
Has anyone else experienced this? Especially other married guys? I’m trying to understand whether this is normal human behavior, suppressed attraction, insecurity, or just my brain making a bigger deal out of it than it is.
