When i was teenager i was absolutely terrified of sex. I was afraid i would be used and abandoned, and there were other reasons. (I likely had ROCD from a young age because i questioned a lot of things like feelings etc) but i didnt start wanting to actually engage in anything until I was at least 23 or 24. And i was very sure of my orientation. Its a myth that everyone is ready for sex at a young age, and i think people should be allowed to figure out that it isnt always something you jump headlong into because there are a lot of factors to it that make it different for everyone.

Sex is something that you have a right to define for yourself. I’ve known people first having sex at 13 to 25. What really matters is that 1) it’s consentual 2) confortable 3) open and honest 4) enjoyable. If you still need time to figure out what each of those means to you translated in attraction, then taking time to doing that is valid, necessary, and VITAL

Gfaux, YES! Because of my fear of sex I didn’t have sex till I was 21, almost 22. People thought that was weird. What’s WEIRD, is majority of people having sex at 16. You’re still a FUCKING CHILD

I'm also pretty turned off sex but for diffrent reasons. One's attraction is never chosen, only what one does with that attraction. If you choose to not engage that attraction its okay, I dont wanna express mine.

Im 27. I have sex with my boyfriend and enjoy it. But even still, some strange trauma has happened to me sexually. (I wasn’t molested)And because of it I have a lot of obsessive thoughts about sexual things. This is a huge trigger to me. I can’t watch sex scenes in shows or movies, I skip over them in books, I don’t like talking about sex, even with my boyfriend. Sex is so gross to me. But to be honest sex is incredible and magical, but at the same time gross and super fucking weird. Sometimes my boyfriend and I will talk about that when we’re having sex, like this is just a strange thing that people do ?? Point being thinking sex is gross doesn’t necessarily mean you don’t want to do it and it definitely has nothing to do with sexuality

I think this is misinformation. "Waiting until marriage" certainly does not guarantee that sex will be safe and free of STDs. You could get married to someone who is abusive and has an STD. Marriage changes nothing.

Yes that is fine, your OCD likes to use any ammunition it can find and throw it at you

I have passed similar conditions and I know how difficult are they. Try not be affected by anything that you disagree as a person.

Sex is overrated. Sex can cause unwanted pregnancy and stds. Best 2 w8 till marriage where it's safe and secure. Disease free.

I keep having this weird feeling none stop that it’s most likely not HOCD and most my feelings. Like I’ve suffered none stop distress and unwanted thoughts the past few days. But those thoughts after a bit just feel weird not the kind of discomfort but are just their and stale. When I look at a guy I don’t feel anything but my thoughts sometimes compliment his looks or personality which makes me doubt my sexuality. I’ve never felt this weirded out. Because I’ve always been straight and still believe I am but I’ve never even had an emotional connection to someone of the opposite gender in fact. My view of the female body has been ruined with none stop pornography addictions. I don’t believe I’m gay but I feel like it may just be denial instead of HOCD but all my symptoms are literally HOCD. I don’t hate the idea of gay people but I can’t imagine or see my heart going off to like someone of the same sex. I haven’t really had any meaningful real life friends besides online but that also ended a few months ago. My only friend ever online that was my friend for the longest of time was a queer but I never really cared about what he liked. Like yes at some point I did try to challenge him with his own feelings but that didn’t last long I just accepted what he liked and moved on. I’ve never even touched let alone held a long conversation with a female. I’ve always been timid and shy around them but I can just say that towards male as well. The gay feelings feel so real. The thoughts feel a bit natural to me but I don’t want this. But I hate how I can’t just move on and be myself and love women when those thoughts demand attention and an answer. It won’t quit it. If I try to do a compulsion it calms down but it quickly becomes a problem again. I’m lonely I don’t have any friends or past relationships I can even think of helping me with the emotions. I still believe I’m straight and I just can’t see myself with a guy. It just doesn’t feel right for me despite my lack of experiences. I just wanna go back to how I was happy and loving girls and not having to question if it was a real feeling or just my natural timid nature. Everytime I think these distressing thoughts I always just wanna sit down and close my eyes and sleep. Because that’s where I can have peace of self. It sucks but I’m so exhausted of having to deal with emotional distress and I can’t even focus on my job as much. I want to meet new people discover my love for women again but I’m scared in the process I may discover I may be gay. Because deep down I know I wouldn’t ever be happy with myself if my greatest fears where confirmed. My dream of always being a father with a loving women and kids would be torn away by something I never asked for. Yes I’m religious, yes I come from a place that homosexuals are usually seen in a bad light. I just hate feeling this emotion that I may not be what I thought and having my dreams torn apart maybe true. I’ve read MUTIPLE articles about HOCD and seen MUTIPLE videos. I’ve come to the realization that I most likely have it. But it’s still hard when the feelings of maybe being gay maybe true you know? I hope I get better I hope I don’t suffer. I just wanna be happy with myself and loving females and I don’t wanna hate myself for feeling an emotion that never occurred to me more then a few times.

Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared
