This is a very strange post, but I will write how I feel.
I am not straight but neither am I fully gay, I flip flop, but not been with a guy for over 5 yrs.
My GF and I are going through a rough patch due to the death of our babies and its creating a toxic environment so we have not been sleeping together.
I have been jacking off to gay porn, and decided to get back into shape and rejoin a gym.
I used to go to the gym a lot and was in pretty good shape but I sacrificed that in the relationship.
I now go about 4-5 times / week and feel energised but I now have no desire to jack off to gay porn, and focus on girls and straight porn. I'm really confused as the work outs are high intensity eg
I will do 10 squats at 80kg or legpress at 120kg, then immediately 10 pull ups, then immediately 10 press ups and then immediately 10 ab roller excercises (the wheel where you roll it out and bring it back in)
So thats 40 reps with no rest, and do 5 sets.
I have noticed that I have begun to loose the fat and my 2 abs are now showing.
Ultimately our brains are just a bunch of neurons with chemical neurotransmitters and under the influence of hormones / environmental factors.
My question is this, has anyone else had anything similar happen to them?

Actually, yes...I train a lot, and as I've gotten older noticed that the harder I train the more varied my sexual urges are. For example, I've not slept with a woman in several years (or a man in over a year) but lately I've been finding women more attractive in the gym than men. I actually get turned on by them and find myself staring. Of course, this has nothing to do with anything but hormones. You can have lower testosterone the more you work out, but I find that no matter what, your always more horny when you are active - so perhaps your natural impulses are more pronounced as you're dealing with how all the hormones are playing about - rather than when you're not working out and get horny you play more on urges and what might get you off - so it's more prepared and not a reactive. I've tried not to worry about it - I doubt I'd sleep with anyone from my gym but at the moment I'm enjoying the women..

For starters, sorry to hear about your babies. It may not mean much coming from an internet stranger, but you have my sincere condolences.

To answer your question, I would say the same applies to me to a certain degree. I'm almost 30, but have found out that working out over the past year or so has lowered my libido. I've actually been asking for tips from users on this forum as to how I can go about making a move with another guy that I (think I) have sexual chemistry with at my gym, and people keep saying "get hard around him in the shower/sauna", but that simply does not work for me.

I definitely pay more attention to girls working out in my gym. For me, it's quite strange and I simply think it's due to fascination/curiosity about their bodies since I see all the attractive guys naked in the locker room every day (so that curiosity is no longer there). I mostly watch str8 porn these days as well, with preference for reverse cowgirl scenes. You get to see her entire body yet still get the sight of a nice piece of man flesh going in and out.

i think sex can be linked to dopamine receptors and as you mention chemicals in the brain. If I was to take a dopamine boosting pill or supplement i would be humping fire hydrants. I stay in my lane. Perhaps your transmitters are diff right now due to the decrease in serotonin and dopamine via the depression of losing a loved one. And when a sudden boost of dopamine occurs youre ready to fuck and it catches you off guard
