28M straight guy confused why I get so aroused watching dicks?

I am a straight guy attracted to women only. I watch porn a lot and looking at big dicks does some chemical reaction in my brain and in every porn I rather enjoy looking at the guy’s dick and I used to think that I am a bisexual. To confirm this out of curiosity I hooked up with men and turns out it was the worst experience of my life. I was not attracted to men, I did not enjoy their dicks in my mouth or in my ass, I tried being the top as well as bottom and nothing worked, tried this with multiple guys thinking maybe it’s the problem with the person I was hooking up with, but never ever I felt attracted to men or enjoyed having sex with them but still to this date when I look at big cocks it excites me, I don’t know what that is, I am clearly not gay or bi but I do love looking at big cocks.

On the other hand I have a girlfriend I am attracted to her and the sex is amazing.

Did Japanese WW2 Soldiers Suffer From Psychological Effects Of Their War Crimes?

Immediately after the war, a large number of medical clinics were set up in Japan to treat wounded Japanese soldiers.

Of approximately 30,000 patients seen in these clinics, around 10,000 of them suffered from mental illnesses, such as “war neurosis.”

The Japanese government did their best to suppress any knowledge of said psychological trauma (indeed a 1938 Imperial Japanese Army (IJA) statement declared how Japanese soldiers did not suffer war neurosis unlike Western soldiers).

For the IJA, “war neurosis” was something that detracted from the “masculinity” of the IJA, and it was utilized and associated with “hysteria,” which was often used as a blanket diagnosis for women in the West.
