The amount of se*ual thoughts and feelings i get all day long towards same sex is not possible with hocd. Its like im on the verge of giving in and doing it and once I do it will all be over. I had sexual thoughts towards girls too quite alot, actually i cant remember my life before ocd clearly anymore but i do remember I never felt anxiety fantasizing about women but im afraid that attraction/lust towards women wasnt real and enough for me to have been straight. Wish i could talk to someone. Theres so much bottled up inside. Ughhh 

Sexual Thoughts Towards Same Sex - Is It HOCD?

When I have intrusive thoughts, it got really bad. 

Once I switched it all and welcomed any thought, no matter how fucked up. They kept coming but over a few weeks they weakened so much i could see progress. 

within a month I didnt get intrusive thoughts anymore 

i believe because you dont want these thoughts, they keep coming.
