Could porn addiction combined with HOCD make it alot worse since porn addiction can cause loss of identity and false attraction as well. I feel like it makes my OCD a whole lot more real.
Yes, 100%
Porn can cause false attractions?
Yes since once you become addicted to porn your attraction to normal porn becomes dry and you start to escalate to more extreme things. I haven't got to that stage but I've started to lose attraction to the opposite sex and girls just don't appear the same anymore. Before I was 100% certain I was straight I even have a girlfriend who I love and porn and OCD combined is destroying that.
@NeverGiveUp I lost my attraction to women from porn then out of nowhere false attractions started happening
@mrein280 Yeah that's exactly the same as me everyone gets aesthetic attraction(finding someone good-looking/pretty etc) but OCD has been twisting that alot. Before I never once was this anxious or questioning/checking my sexuality so much it's horrible. I might quit porn for a week or more to see how much my hocd improves.
@mrein280 I was worried if porn made me think I'm straight which is stupid
@NeverGiveUp You probably need to do a month or something
@mrein280 Probably I've never went more than 8 days in the past 3 years almost so I'm generally questioning if porn is the reason why my anxiety and OCD has become servere. Before I was using porn and could go ages without it I never once had OCD at least not as servere.
@NeverGiveUp I was watching so much porn during covid like 5 hours because I couldn't go out and stuff
