Does anyone else have loss of attraction (aesthetic attraction) to the opposite sex? And also does dressing well/looking good trigger anyone else?

Yeah I'm like at lost of attraction ik it's like normal but ur mind is like u sure u know what let's see that video again to make sure š¤£I use to watch a lot of hocd theme videos and I'm just sitting in discomfort and like not seeing videos of girls or stuff like that because I feel like ima try to reinsurance myself so here I am just feeling discomfort š¤£š¤£but yeah I do I be like I look good and then my ocd be like why š¤£
anyone else have a good evening/ day then fall back down hurrendously the next day? Honestly yesterday I felt great! Like I knew what I like (opposite gender) and these āfalse attractionsā are just false alarms caused by OCD⦠like I knew these thoughts and feeling are OCD. Today I question it all over again. Are these false attractions real? Why has my loss of opposite attraction feel like it wonāt return? Though yesterday I got snippets.
Can anyone give their experience on FALSE ATTRACTION? At this moment, mine has become worse. Soon as I see a male my anxiety shoots up, I can feel this in my chest and my OCD is telling me Iām attracted. But I continue to look back or stare and the disgust comes over me and my body shakes and I feel my face screw up. I canāt listen to music I use too or watch movies which was a favourite thing of mine to do. I just feel disgusted and not who I am when it happens. Itās like a different me. P.S. I had a very good week few days ago where I knew this wasnāt me and these feelings/ thoughts isnāt me.
When first triggered it was every male possible. I couldnāt even go shopping⦠it was all ages of male, all sizes, and the groinal response was non stop. Like always a feeling there. Then it calmed down but male voices⦠I couldnāt listen to the music I use to enjoy or movies Iāve always been interested in. Then it kinda dyed down to people who are good looking but Iāve never in my life been attracted to males and beards. I couldnāt even always say they are good looking but never had this fear, the head ache constantly pounding feelings before. Now itās still good looking males but Iām noticing body shape now? What is this!? Soon as I see a male figure my body feeling like it goes into shock, preparing for the anxiety feeling of āfalseā attraction. It makes me sweat, and nauseous. Is this OCD or after 32 years of loving woman now gone? I donāt really have attraction towards woman (brief moments but not how I use to be) and this makes me so depressed. I donāt want to live like this. The only thing stoping me is my children and wife.
