    Like I found guys attractive but whenever i fantasize about having sex with them or their bodies it ruins my excitement. But I still like them. Im just really confused

    A good way to figure this out is to stop watching porn for awhile and figure out where your fantasies take you.

    Porn isn’t a good indicator but fantasy is.

    Like @Totesgaybrah said there is a difference between porn and fantasy. Also for clarification some people just get turned on by seeing someone have sex - magazine, movie, irl. It doesn't determine orientation. There are also people who are exhibitionist and/or voyeur meaning they get easily aroused watching sexual acts or being watched. Both do not determine orientation.

    No, strictly speaking porn != sexuality, but like, I know of very few people who watch porn of things that they aren't into.
