I'm a bit confused here to be honest...
So the porn preference showing as "normal" can only mean heterosexual??
I honestly hope I'm misunderstanding all of you...
And as to Irene: he very clearly sends her away, and not in the most gentle manner? He clearly does not understand her advances and the type of sexuality and love that she represents imo.

Just to make this clear. The 'Normal' porn, well that's not just my opinion. Really, that's just a fact. If you go onto any pornsite you want, you will normally end up on a 'straight' site. If you want gay porn, that's well, that's a special category, so in my opinion that does mean that normal means heterosexual. 
Because, if a girl watches lesbian porn, she will not say normal porn.
It'll be ''Well, normal porn and lesbian.''
This is not because I'm homophobe (I'm bisexual, my brother is gay. Really, even he says normal porn is not gay porn. There's a distinction to make here.) or have anything against gays, it's just how ....well porn works.

I thought it was telling that he implied that it's okay for her to show up naked in his mind palace if he's not busy. After we learned in HLV that he apparently likes long soaks in the tub, I started getting visions of him doing Irene-focused mind palace sessions during his baths.

Yes, that's exactly what I mean

 There are lots of theories about this, including that Sherlock planted this information for Magnussen to find and that Sherlock doesn't actually look at porn.

I disagree with that because I know someone who identifies as asexual and through her have met other asexuals and many of them are really into porn for self-gratifying reasons. They have sex drives, but no interest in having sexual relationships with other people. So I have no problem believing that Sherlock has urges like any other man and that he might turn to porn telling himself it's for research into human behaviour or human anatomy.

So between this revelation and Sherlock's comment in A Scandal in Belgrave that he uses John's computer to look at naked women (which, like the porn comment, may or may not be true...), I think there is enough evidence to suggest that if Sherlock were interested in pursuing a sexual relationship with somone, it would more likely be a woman than a man. Most people will disagree with me and I agree that Sherlock gives off a gay vibe, but this info is what it is.

 

Well, interesting theory, and I totally agree on the being with a woman part. 
I'm pretty sure Sherlock is anything but asexual. I believe he's just this big bomb of emotions waiting to explode. And filled to the brink with sexual repression (Irene's in his mind palast. As she interrupted his thoughts she was naked, caressing his cheeck. Shows why she's there in the first place, eh?)
He's just trying so hard not to care and not to show feelings. (Caring is never an advantage) 
But that's just my theory

Hey, 
I don't really know where to post this, and I'm sorry if someone told this already.
But as a was in Germany while HLV aired, I saw the german version of Magnussens deductions, and I remember quite clearly how he deduced Sherlock's pornpreferences which were normal.

Now, that leaves two things,
1. Sherlock is apparently not gay, but does have a sex-drive (?) 

2. What exactly is normal defined by a man who pisses in other people's chimneys?



I would love to hear some other people's opinion on this

Hey, is anyone here interested in helping me with a Mycroft Fic? It's pure crack and not to be taken seriously, but I could really use some help.

I could also use assistance when it comes to writing adult/graphic content. Betas for my published stories are always welcome. 

I would be really thankful if anyone of you is interested and I might just name my firstborn child after you... 

Plus, I would of course beta the work of anyone who asks me
