Let me tell you a story: I experience both CTPSD and OCD, i’m queer and, as it’s common to some of us, i’ve spent a fair share of time searching for a therapist whose background would support my needs. At the beginning, intrusiveness got so intense to the point i experienced suicidal ideation — so, when seeking help, i had no time to make good use of my own criteria, which led me to a therapist that not only wasn’t trained in treating OCD, but also wasn’t culture informed about LGBTQIAP+. All of this led me to intrusive thoughts regarding my own sexual orientation, and it target it so hard to the point of creating a false idea that it is deviant and generated false attraction towards the opposite gender. I spent days in spiral, ‘til i dropped this professional’s sessions, got support from my own community and started a CBT-oriented therapy. Just to illustrate how intense intrusiveness can get.

@brenoaugusto So u are lgbt but ur OCD made u fear u were actually straight? That’s like the opposite of what I’m goin thru. Sometimes I know it’s OCD, like I have all the symptoms but then there’s so much proof in my head that says I’m also gay or bisexual, but I don’t wanna be

@Anonymous Yes, that’s what happened to me. Its sensation of having evidences is generated by OCD intrusiveness. It’s hard.

@brenoaugusto Yeh I keep checking, imagining scenarios to see my arousal levels. Like right now, and my private got a little thicker and grew a tiny bit but then I started to touch it aswel to see my reaction further and I think I got almost a partial. The worst part is when it looks like u want it in ur head. I had to imagine what the guy was feeling to even kickstart the arousal tho, like as if I was him

Can sexual orientation ocd make you act on your fears and make you have same sex experiences ever and then after the experience realize that’s not what you are or want?

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’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.
