Actually, nothing is wrong with you. Your mind is working just like it does for most of us. There is a pressure to live up to some standards set by media, that is mostly just looking for readers/viewers.
People are naturally curious about how others live their lives, because we kind of only have access to our own. So we like all kinds of statistics and reality shows and anything that will give us an idea of how other people might live and behave, and then automatically compare it to ourselves. I think we all do it more or less.
As for pressure, sex isn’t the only thing that people feel pressured about (and you really aren’t the only one to feel the pressure). Same goes for looks, hobbies and lifestyle in general. I remember reading an article about an island where people were pretty much OK with everything, but the moment TV was introduced, a majority of the girls started suffering from eating disorders.
We all feel the pressure in various ways and it requires some strength to not care about it and live your life as you please. Treasure your sexuality and don’t let the peer pressure get to you. Only do things that you really want to do, as otherwise you might do more harm than good.
