The difference between struggling to accept the fact that he was gay was says that he was probably thinking about him being gay and liking men for his entire life, as gay people are born gay, they don't turn that way. People with HOCD on the other hand, don't typically question this since forever, as obssessions often do, they come on randomly, and they might go away randomly as well. I would advise you to not go into those forums and searching online, as it is a compulsion and its setting you back

Number one thing not to do is search on Google. If you are going to be doing any research go to safe places online, there is a blog on tumblr called pure-o-Soft, I really recommend it, you can send asks about anything you're feeling and they send you trustworthy articles on OCD Do Not check groinal response, think about it, if you fixate on concentrating on any part of your body you will feel something, so don't do it. Do not try and check whether or not you find men attractive, as you will get more obssessed about it and start with the vicious circle again

So I was on a hat chat gpt and it said that people who are non-offenders experience distress and anxiety and disgust and depression and they feel ashamed of being a non-offender like WHAT like that's honestly terrifying and I'm so scared because that's how I've been feeling like when I'm out I get anxiety too especially when I see a younger person I always been attracted to MEN my whole life can people turn into monsters and I don't even care if they have problems if there attracted to kids then there sick in the head like don't care like this has been sharing me soo much and the worst part about it is that they said some are in denial or suppress their attractions I'm so done...... I can not do this this is too much I would rather be gone from this earth than find out that I might be one like you have to be kidding me if you're attracted to young people and desire that you're sick and dead to me you're a monster I don't care like its disgusting. for this eole some people are suffering from POCD like me are scared to think about that and I'm terrified.

I feel so sad, alone, scared and hopeless. Until two months ago there was not even the remote possibility of being anything other than heterosexual and now the idea that I could find out that I was lesbian or bisexual terrifies me to death. Everything was born from the fact that I didn't feel sexual desire towards my ex-boyfriend and I started to be afraid that it was because I was a lesbian... how can I be a lesbian or bisexual if everything was born from this? I would like to run away from myself and my head. I would really like to go back and go back to my life before. I can't take it anymore. I just want to live my life like before

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now theyโre 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 itโs two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself itโs alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if itโs just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but itโs confusing. On top of that Iโve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like Iโd be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk Iโve 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 Iโm straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please
