You kissed a boy and you didn't like it. That doesn't mean you dislike every boy outhere. Your rumination makes you get into unreal conclusions.

You are attracted to bodies. And shapes. Or figures. If you fell in love with someone I think that is pretty different. If you like "fictional men" you still like men bodies, you enjoy watching men bodies. If you were 6 years with the same person that is just not attaction, that is love. That means you probably love hin. First stop googling because is only going to hurt you more. And stop generalizing everything, that is common in ocd. You are you. And what you feel is only yours, and what you believe is only yours. If other people have other theories about sexuality or whatever, other perspectives, is their fucking problem. In hocd we have a malfunction in our brains. We had a trauma first and then to make stop the anxiety, that came with it, we create compulsions. And when you repeat the compulsions over and over til no end, your brain adequate to make you feel fear every time the theme is in front of your eyes. The doubts are out and desperation comes to your door. We also are not ready to understand that you can be straight(or whatever sexuality) and be attracted to sexual things, great bodies or just see someone atractive and think: wow how attractive. And just that, is just a thought. It doesn't have meaning above that. It doesn't mean your life is going to change forever. All because of the disorder. What you did in the past, is in the past. So don't get into conclusions so extreme. Who you want to be now? What do you feel you need to concentrate now?

Yes i know! I don't think i have any or i don't know if any of my friend belongs to the lgbt community. I just don't know why but now i wish i could have a friend who's a lesbian. it gave me a sense of relief. It would be so much easier for me to share all that i am going through with her.

No it doesn't mean i don't like him. I was there with him for 6 years. We would never have broken up had it not been for family issues. We even decided to get back together after our career is all settled. I don't know if i disliked it but i did not feel anything. I still blush when i talk about it with my best friend but why did i not feel anything while doing it

Today on the internet i read about compulsory heterosexuality. I felt as if i am the same case. It said "attraction to fictional men is not the same as attraction to real men" And " Wanting a man to be attracted to you is not the same as being attracted to them" I do wanted boy's attention but i don't think i was attracted to them and i do have a few girl crushes in the past. But then when i think about it, if i was really a lesbian why would i even be with the guy for 6 years while wanting to continue the relationship if i was not attracted to him or why would i only fantasize about men. Even if i had girl crushes i never fantasized about them. Heck now i don't even know what attraction would feel like. I searched on the internet on the signs if attraction. All these are mentally exhausting. It really feels like i was never attracted to boys and only wanted their attention and nothing else and all i was attracted to were girls

Truly speaking. The only thing that i am interested in now is building up my career and getting rid of my insecurities that i have regarding my looks.i just want to stay away from everything including any kind of attraction. I have a very little confidence in me. Even if i am good in something i still think myself to be inferior to other people around me. For now i really only want to concentrate on building up my overall personality and nothing else.

I really don't want to care who am i attracted to. I don't know if i should share this or not but my dream is to become a big youtuber. But just the fact that i have noticed that youtubers often get asked about their sexualities and they have to meet up with new people including both boys and girls is making me feel uneasy!

Yeah i will. I just need to get rid of the thoughts. I sometimes think that if i kiss a guy i will feel void and that i won't feel anything but then i think of it with a girl and it feels like i will like it and it will be engaging and not void and it somewhat scares me. Now i really need to stop these thoughts and concentrate on what's important. Thankyou

I feel so sad, alone, scared and hopeless. Until two months ago there was not even the remote possibility of being anything other than heterosexual and now the idea that I could find out that I was lesbian or bisexual terrifies me to death. Everything was born from the fact that I didn't feel sexual desire towards my ex-boyfriend and I started to be afraid that it was because I was a lesbian... how can I be a lesbian or bisexual if everything was born from this? I would like to run away from myself and my head. I would really like to go back and go back to my life before. I can't take it anymore. I just want to live my life like before

Idk what else to title this. I was watching a film cooper video cuz why not and he mentioned smthn about wall paper customization and icons and stuff and I just kinda had a groinal response followed by the memory of me having my first crush on a woman (my friend at the time) that helped me figure out that I’m bi and I felt kinda intensely for her but that’s cuz a) it was new and b) we were kinda on again off again friends who haven’t spoken in a few years now and I’m over her entirely. It was toxic I think. She was too much like the person who bullied me in elementary school (they were friends as well so my mom made me cut her off which is. Fair. Made me really sad but eh that’s life) I saw her at prom cuz someone brought her. It was nice to see her but yeah that was it. And now I’m mentally comparing what I felt for women in the past (idk intense crush, listening to a lot of gay songs (think she by dodie) dressing semi masc cuz funky, we had nicknames for each other despite not dating or anything) to men (less intense crush but still big crush, I’ve only dated and kissed men so sparks rhere) and now I’m just slightly nauseous and worried that I don’t like men as much as I like women but I think that’s normal for any bi person? To have different levels of attraction to different genders? Idk I feel gross and icky now like I shouldn’t even be thinking about it or her cuz I have a bf. And I do look fondly upon it, now I’m nervous cuz I got more excited about her calling me a specific nickname than I do from my bf calling me honey even at the beginning? Honey felt more traditional and I love it but we do switch around nicknames and it’s always nice, not many butterflies anymore, and sometimes I get anxious when he does lately, if it’s a nickname in Portuguese. Or if he called me a shortened version of my name. What does that mean? I’m nervous now. I was doing half decently today now I’m nauseous again. I’m worried that cuz I liked the nicknames she and I had that means I don’t like the ones my bf and I have and that I just don’t like him or men cuz I’ve been feeling off around him. But I love when he calls me honey, it still feels good when he does it now but no butterflies. Idk what’s wrong with me. Is it even ocd at this point. Even if I do like women slightly more it doesn’t erase that I love my bf. I’m worried I’m leaning too much towards women tho and I’m a lesbian. Idk if my bi cycle is cycling or if I’m just a lesbian entirely cuz I don’t feel much when my bf takes off his shirt, sex feels different, and things feel stale and slow. But maybe that’s cuz I’m checking and comparing. Now I’m anxious fuck. I’m trying not to think about her idk why. I’m worried I still find her attractive or am attracted to her or smthn. She’s in my city. I didn’t care before but now I do. Or if I think about her I’ll think about other women and will only want to have sec with women which not really tbh. I wanna be able to enjoy sec with my bf. It just hasn’t felt right lately cuz I’ve been so depressed and obsessive. I wasn’t obsessing much last night when we had sex but it still didn’t feel passionate. It didn’t feel uncomfortable but I thought it’d be more? Idk. I know it’s normal to not feel him inside me cuz the vagina isn’t very nerved up compared to the clitoris but it felt like more the motions. But tbh. I needed it. Idk I wanted to have sex and it was a nice stress relief. I just didn’t feel butterflies which kinda bummed me out but we’ve been having sex since august so that’s normal. Idk. I haven’t been able to fantasize about sex. The fact that I’m bi makes all of this so confusing. Cuz yes hypothetically I can enjoy the thought of sex with a woman. But I don’t want to rn cuz I’m dating a man. And I can’t fantasize about sex with him cuz I’m getting intrusive thoughts about my friends and I having sex. I have this urge to watch porn cuz it’s been a while but I’m not going to. I’ve cut down a lot on masturbation. Partially cuz this partially cuz I wanna do things with my bf (when I’m mentally ok) but jow my brain is saying “Oo you think all these women are so hot you’re gonna go feral blah blah blah” and yes women are hot but I don’t wanna have sex with a woman. Idk saying women are hot doesn’t bring me anxiety but the thought of sex with one or leaving my bf and saying I’m a lesbian bother me. Cuz I know it’s not true. I love him I know that. I’d be happy if we stayed together. I wouldn’t regret a thing honestly. I like having sex with him. Idc if it’s not like porn or the movies. As long as I’m being pleasured and he’s being pleasured we’re good. That’s what sex is about. I think the loss of butterflies is normal cuz the excitement of like (sorry tmi) fingering and oral eventually wears off right? But still feels good. I don’t feel as excited about intimacy anymore cuz we have done it so often but it still feels nice. But my brain perceives that as me not liking sex with men and therefore I’m gay. No I just don’t feel the need to jump his bones every single time I see him?? Idk the friend thing is bothering me. Idk if I feel any joy behind it. The groinal response really really throws my perception off

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please
