I think I can relate. For me I’m still relatively new to sex and I have so many anxieties about sex in general and being so vulnerable. This makes sex incredibly difficult sometimes and so it made me kind of question. Additionally I don’t focus so much on the visual aspect of sex and if I don’t get instantly aroused seeing my partner naked I start spiraling

Same, I didn’t know what it really was until it happened and you imagine it because of tv and everything but when you stress a lot it’s différent for real

I think sex is like the centre of soocd! For example, for me sex was always super painful (I have a chronical illness, but I found out later). I always imagined sex as something that is magic, that will make you feel on the moon! But I always felt so much pain! And my mind couldn't explain that, so I started to search what could be the motivation! (and that is how inconciously my soocd started) I'm saying that the perception that you have of sex & intimacy; is strictly related to ocd! (Not that you all have my chronic pain)!

I understand what ur saying! But I think there is a difference between being uninformed or suffering with ocD! We all ain’t 100% sure of anything! But a person with OCD will always look to what it doesn’t know!

My ocd starts everytime someone tells me they have a fantastic sex life! But I believe most of it isn’t! They just remember the good times and try to be happy! We remember about everything that went wrong and try to explain it

@Mimi123 Now that you are saying that, I just noticed I exactly work like that too! I tend to remember negative things over the positive ones! Do you think that this Is a bad thing that feeds our ocd?? (Plus, I really get super triggered too when someone say they loved sex and they want more! I envy them sooo much!)

@Mimi123 I know!! TW Even now that I have my diagnosis, I am constantly wondering things like "what If it's because you don't love him enough; what if he isn't the right one, what if in the reality you don't like sex because you are lesbian!"... I don't know If this is exactly ocd, but I know that I follow ocd therapy, and I improved a lot!!

@eoid I totally get u! And since my ocd went really bad, my sex life is hard! And it kind of always was because I was always justifying every little detail of it! I think that is our feeding mechanism sometimes! We prefer to believe we have control than not knowing that we like it or not! But ocd is the first thing that stops u from enjoying sex! And seeing the movies faking a sex life makes u feel down! People hate to admit they’re problems in bed! So they only talk about the good things! I had a friend who said she didn’t like sex! And it was the first time I felt like I was “normal” because she had the same constant overthinking in and after and before bed! And that’s something that destroys our sex life! My ocd started with a problem that didn’t allow me to have sex! So that was the time I started to put so much pressure on me!

I’ve wondered this; I haven’t lost my virginity yet so I have so many questions. Like I me wonder, if I did lose my virginity then would it “clear up” more of my SOOCD? 😭

How can you tell if it’s SOOCD, being in denial or sexual orientation fluid change?
How can you tell if it’s SOOCD, being in denial or sexual orientation fluid change? I really really hope it’s just SOOCD but I suffer so much from the loss of attraction to opposite gender and severe‘false’ attraction to same gender. It makes me feel sick and want to cry every time I have false attractions. I find it so difficult I feel my entire life has flipped and been destroyed.

SOCD, Real Event, porn
I never read someone talk about this so I wanted to know if it applies to anyone as well. For context: I deal with ROCD and SOCD but I do identify as straight and am in a (happy) relationship with a man. What often triggers me is memories about childhood and adolescences about having the groinal toward nudity in porn or music videos. Because I can’t deny having watched other things than straight porn and experimenting with porn I simply can’t stop trying to figure out what that might have meant and if i deep down have actually a other sexual orientation than the one that I feel comfortable identifying with. I only hear people talking about random triggers but never the REAL memory of arousal to pornography and so on.

Idk if I'm a lesbian w socd or just bi in denial
Hi everyone I'm 18 and recently discovered i have soocd. I remember having random thoughts about men and it would make me feel uncomfortable and have bad panic attacks. Sometimes I would have to leave class bc these thoughts was messing with my head. And sometimes I would avoid men bc of this. I remember having a sex dream about one of my guy classmate and when ever I seen him I would have hatred for him. These thoughts keep on repeating over and over in my head to the point where I don't reaction to it. I don't if I'm slowly realizing im actually into men, but I still have this weird gut feeling in my stomach when I think about it. I really don't wanna lose my identity as lesbian.
