Loss of attraction
Increase in same sex attraction. Loss of my attraction towards men. Why??
Increase in same sex attraction. Loss of my attraction towards men. Why??
Well this could be a combination of many factors, when we are having a rough time with our ocd we have an increase in anxiety and stress this decreases the libido making you not want to do anything with the opposite sex for example do anything with your boyfreind let alone look at other guys and this only fuels your doubt about your sexuality and OCD will try to use this against you. The other factor can be false attraction at work, OCD misconsgruing you thinking a girl is beautiful or w.e as "proof" you are attracted or maybe you get butterflys in your chest stomach w.e when u see a a girl and its just anxiety in the body, or it can be a gronial response which is also anxiety. Or just a random intrusive thought when u see a girl like of you guys dating or something getting twisted in interpretation. Im sure @anoymous didnt mean no harm he was speaking from his own experience which he says "I am" and maybe thought you were on the same boat as them. Good luck dont forget how our ocd mind will and can use anything to try to tell a story u can believe.

@kiki.02 Thank you!!
It's the worst, God, I'm crazy to go back to normal, it's torture, it's an anxious circle that never ends
@Carlos A Are you doing erp? Therapy?
@Anonymous I have been close to starting these last days, I bought books to guide me, but I have not started as such, I have made vague expositions WITHOUT response prevention, which have played the role of compulsions from what I see, but I have not had the courage to start , the feeling down there and the comparison of seeing women and not feeling the same has collapsed me, I still don't know how to start, I've been about to tell a family member because I need support, someone who listens to me and believes me, even if the The subject is not easy to understand knowing how complex it is, but it is the only thing left for me, to do the erp, sometimes when I do the compulsions exposing myself, the initial reaction is fear and shortness of breath and fixation in the lower part, but with the passing of time and without fear it really feels different, I feel that it can work, it has me hooked is the lack of attraction for women, and I really want them, I don't want anything else, but it kills me to think that it won't come back
@Carlos A I feel you :( my fear is I’m bisexual when I really like men and want to be straight. My ocd is running wild.. now I see any pretty celeb and I’m convinced I’m in love and have a crush. I’m getting false attraction, and scared I’m being indenial cus of society
@Anonymous Oh that’s no good, I've been with this for years and it never stops being uncomfortable, before the tipping point that started it all, I had never worried about any of this, of course over time it has mutated, I went through your stage, now I became more obsessed with the sexual context ,terrible, and the incredible thing is that I am losing time to be able to enjoy sexually with girls as I have always wanted for this, for fear of not giving up and falling into a hole, I hope you can be victorious! Cheer up that here we all go for the same goal
What’s your experience on: Losing opposite gender attraction? And, False attraction to same gender? I have both and I feel like I don’t know who I am. I can’t parent or be a husband due to the mass panic and anxiety. Just wanted to know if anyone has had both and regained theirself?
can i turn gay? and suddenly start liking gay and men sexual parts even though i never liked them before i scared i will start doing it and lose my attraction to females
When first triggered it was every male possible. I couldn’t 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 couldn’t listen to the music I use to enjoy or movies I’ve always been interested in. Then it kinda dyed down to people who are good looking but I’ve never in my life been attracted to males and beards. I couldn’t even always say they are good looking but never had this fear, the head ache constantly pounding feelings before. Now it’s still good looking males but I’m 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 ‘false’ attraction. It makes me sweat, and nauseous. Is this OCD or after 32 years of loving woman now gone? I don’t really have attraction towards woman (brief moments but not how I use to be) and this makes me so depressed. I don’t want to live like this. The only thing stoping me is my children and wife.
