Hey everyone, I think that I have the sexual orientation ocd, Ik I’m a lesbian, but I doubt it when I think a guy is handsome, I’ve read about it and it turned out that it’s called “aesthetic attraction” which means being attracted to the looks, but I still keep imagining weather I wanna be with a sexual relationship with a guy or not (although Ik I don’t want to be in one) and the thought keeps reoccurring, if someone have this type ocd, can they help me please

And I also keep reassuring myself that I’m lesbian

Hey do not worry ! Thank you about telling this aesthetic attraction thing because that is what I guess I had a long time. I always loved to flirt with women and imagine how I would be with them but I never would really date one romantically or sexually it is just a interesting thought to explore and there is nothing wrong your sexuality won’t change from that :)

I also think some women are really sexy and pretty and I was like „Yes If I was a guy I would 100% date her“ but I‘m not a guy (even my gender OCD tells me I am I guess because of these thoughts) so do not worry just go on dating girls :)

Yes that’s exactly how I feel, I thought that I was alone, I keep thinking yeah he’s handsome and I’d imagine the same thing, but in reality I won’t date one, thank you very much ❤️❤️

Does your hocd try to make you think you actually like them ?

@Tan??? Yes, although Ik I don’t, and when it does I get very anxious

@KAI_17 That’s how my hocd is my main trigger is masculine women I am a straight girl but anytime I see a masc lesbian I get triggered and start to get thoughts saying oh you are attracted to her.... I just don’t desire a relationship or anything. With a girl
