You will never figure out your sexuality based on a feeling in hour stomach. I hope you can recognize that this is clearly a compulsion. Testing the body for responses to stimuli in this way doesn’t work because your anxiety and OCD mess with the results. Focus on accepting the stomach feeling and letting it pass. Don’t analyze it, try to suppress it, or look to it as a sign. It’s just a weird and uncomfortable feeling you got. And you can’t really know exactly what it meant.

Basically you’re using a flawed test to solve a flawed question. Checking is just another compulsion that will never give you the answer you want (emotions weren’t meant to be scrutinized in this way and they perform differently under direct observation like this) so repeating it again and again is only hurting and confusing you further. Let the thoughts and feelings happen. Accept that they’re there, acknowledge them, and move on. Don’t perform mental compulsions to try to “figure it all out.”

So I’ve talked to a couple of gay people and they all told me the same thing. They ALWAYS knew they liked guys and they have ever gotten aroused by a woman in their life. In fact they told me that they always found a woman’s body disgusting. Looking back in my life I’ve been attracted to girls for as long as I can remember even before puberty. All my fantasies were about girls and I can’t remember a time where I felt the same for a guy (because it never happened). At the end I can still get aroused by women and you can clearly see how much stupid this obsession about being gay is. Gay people can’t get instinctively aroused by a woman and like it. Groinal responses and sensations don’t mean anything because they simply do not bring joy or a feeling of desire. Instead they bring panic. I once got a groinal when “testing my reactions” and I was sitting there crying like my life is over. That’s not how genuine attraction works and no one has woken up one day feeling different and no one has been secretly gay and never noticed it and spent his whole life into women instead.

For me it was a weird intrusive thought and after that I slowly started developing anxiety and I felt a weird thing like I was losing my attraction to girls. Then I woke up one day in complete panic cuz it felt like I had lost feelings for girls suddenly and I started searching online how to know if you’re gay if sexuality changes suddenly and I took some gay tests or sexuality tests online. Chat gpt was a big thing back then too. That was before therapy and before I knew what ocd is.Can anyone relate?

I don’t know if it’s SOOCD. I no longer feel anxious in the moment when I think about women, and it’s like my imagination wants me to think about it and get aroused. I don’t want to be gay, but maybe I am after all. In my life I haven’t been so sexually driven before (when I was living with a man, or when being single) but now all I can think about is having sex with a woman. I don’t want to, but somehow my body does and it feels like my mind have changed to accept it to.. feel so sad This all started around 4 weeks ago..
