That happens to me, I see a girl and my mind instantly thinks are you attracted to her?? and I’m not attracted to her. Another thing is I’m still kind of attracted to boys but it’s not the same. Also I only think girls are pretty I’ve never thought anything else, like with boys I think they’re really cute and I want to date them but it’s not like that with girls

Yeah, I’m stuck in the HOCD theme right now too and it’s got my head all tangled! It’s almost like the sexuality I was born with went “see ya” and ran out the door ? I still notice cute guys in the room immediately. But then because I’m so convinced that I don’t like men, my mind goes from thinking they’re attractive to finding them almost disgusting. Because if I think they’re cute, I’ll get a sexual thought about them to check if I still like men, but my brain wants me to so badly think I’m not attracted to guys, that I find the sexual thought gross. It’s hard to explain. I know in my heart I’m not attracted to girls. I never have been. Not like my attraction to men. It’s all really confusing and I feel numb from it. As always, the best thing to do is just accept the thoughts. I’m in that battle too right now, so I can’t say what definitely works or not.

You said you’re new to this app, I think you’ll find there’s a lot of HOCD in this community and with that, a lot of advice.

I’m going through this exact same thing. And my doubts only get worse when I’m getting better. If the thoughts are lessening, the doubts are increasing it’s like goddamn just give me a break. Are you ever just tired of being so tired of this. I know I like men but my mind has now made it weird for me to say that because Now I’m convinced I like “women.” So it feels like it’s wrong for me to say I like men cause I’m having ocd twist my memories and making me seem fake.

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

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

So I identify as a lesbian and I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful girl. But i’m stressing that I have crushes on boys I go to school with. I get anxious around them, which I think I mistake for excitement. I obsess over it in my head which confuses me a lot. Idk I also never think about them sexually or romantically but I think about them often which is scaring me. Any advice?
