Ok this is what would be called a testing compulsion. It’s NOT going to get you anywhere and will only make you question more. I don’t know if this will help but do keep in mind that when you’re masturbating, eventually no matter what you’re thinking you’re going to end up having an orgasm. That’s just how it works. You could think of a tree while doing it and eventually you would end up ejaculating. Doesn’t necessarily prove anything especially if you’re trying to “test” yourself. And especially with OCD, I guarantee you nothing is going to be a satisfying answer when you do this.

Been there done that. HOCD made you force yourself to have the ejaculation and you couldn't control your intrusive thoughts and urges. I think we need to lay off Google for a while and just stay in this app for now, it really is our worst enemy ?

Okay, first of all - the guy who said that in the video was wrong. Like, he was just incorrect. That "imagining" thing is a really common compulsion, which will make you more anxious in the long run. Intrusive thoughts can't just be solved like that! Even though you do say you were "struggling," you are still doubting and worrying now aren't you?? Because you've just done a common compulsion, which has obviously increased long term anxiety. It didn't solve anything did it? Please don't fall down the internet rabbit hole... ? And also don't take ANY video advice seriously unless it is from a professional. It's often a bit risky ? OCD is a nightmare, and you will almost certainly need more than just a video to help you. I've had it for years, and compulsions don't help..!

Anyone else will just be doing anything normal and I’m gay comes in? It’s so distressing and I try and say ok sure ocd but the anxiety over takes me and my mind won’t let me believe I’m straight when I am. I love men I’m Not attracted to women but when I ask myself the doubt is for sure there which sounds like Casebook ocd. I’m just sick of this I don’t want to have to laugh at things in my head that don’t make any sense it’s so hard and unfair

Ok so I’m a 17 year old female, and I’ve always thought I was straight. But I just really want to know how you would know the difference between so-ocd and actually questioning your sexuality. I have nothing against the LGBTQ community (in fact I am very much a token straight friend, lol) but I saw a video about comp-het recently and it sort of felt like what I was experiencing. I don’t want to be gay, I want to be with men, I want to like men, I’ve always liked men, but now I’m questioning whether or not that’s real? Because people can be gay but not want to be right? I’m single and I always have been. I think women are gorgeous, but when I try to imagine actually having any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with a woman it feels wrong, at least most of the time it does? Sometimes I’m less sure, and I’ve never been particularly boy crazy. I’ve liked maybe 2 or 3 people in my life, (not to say I’ve never found other guys attractive, but it doesn’t seem to be as often as most people) I have no particular reason to be afraid of being gay, very supportive family, safe area ect, but I don’t want to be, does that mean this is ocd, I don’t know what’s going on every time I say I’m straight I feel like I’m lying, but that might just be because I think about it so much. The idea of being with a woman doesn’t feel like something I would want, but is that just because I don’t want to want it? People online say things with so much sureness, if you feel like this it means this. Ect.

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh
