This is really common for HOCD. There are many reasons why you may feel like your losing your normal attraction to guys , like by trying to hard to like them to the point where it’s unnatural. Just like when you try hard not to be attracted to the same sex , that’s gonna make you feel like you are. It could also be a loss of energy from being so drained because of the anxiety. But still , you should accept what you see as the worst possibility and get acquainted with your fears. That’s how they lose their power over you. You could start by asking yourself why you fear what you fear , and how it would change your life if it were true. You’ll come to realize that you’re perspective is making the fear worse than it needs to be

Not really, but I obsess about that since more than a year. I started noticing flaws that I had never seen on the faces of girls I was attracted to, finding them a lot less attractive and then it spread to all the girls. Since then I wonder if it will come back and I make compulsions, but nothing come back (probably because I'm very obsessed with it and it's the only HOCD fear I have) Do not worry, it will come back ;)

@katia omg yes! Seriously I have literally been thinking the last few days that I might be asexual (but also in the back of my mind still obsessing about being gay?) !! So happy you feel like this because I don’t know what’s going on!! So happy you said that. And also yes about it coming back in short periods of time, like for example last night I was watching a tv show and I found the guy really attractive and I was so happy and then when the show finished I felt all horrible and weird again.

Me. I’ve started to feel really anxious at the thought of it as well and I never used to? I don’t know what’s going on, I don’t know if this is a symptom of OCD or if it’s real life.

Hocd
So my hocd started over 2 years ago (I’m 20 yrs old now), when I was having a conversation with one of my friends and the thought popped into the back of my head what if the reason I don’t have a crush on any guys at my high school is because I’m a lesbian. Since then my sexuality has been on my mind 24/7 I didn’t know this was ocd until about a year ago but i’m only seeking treatment now. The hocd ramped up when I felt super aroused watching a movie with topless women, something that had never happened when watching men. Thing is I genuinely think I’m gay now, I’ve had this for so long that at first the thoughts disgusted me and caused me anxiety but now they don’t anymore. I saw so many tiktok videos about “pipelines” of certain interests gay people have that triggered me and read the comphet masterdoc which made me cry when I read it because I related to so much of it. When I was a child I was never boy crazy, I never really crushed on boys in my class (to be fair there were only 7) however I do remember writing a love note to a boy in first grade and having an immense celebrity crush on a disney channel star. I remember to certain things I did as a child that lead me to think I am gay and they keep replaying over and over in my head. Thing is over the past year I’ve had crushes on 3 guys I’ve met through dating apps. The last one I actually hung out with and I had my first kiss/makeout session 2 months ago. After that my hocd calmed down I enjoyed kissing him it felt euphoric the whole drive home just replaying our dates in my head. But now I can’t get the thought out of my head what if I didn’t like it enough? I didn’t get butterflies when we kissed (i do when I think back about it though) and didnt feel super aroused like that time I watched that movie. I feel nothing when I look at pictures and videos of men but with women I started getting this warm feeling in my chest which stressed me out even more. Idk what I am anymore and it is driving me insane. Does anyone relate?
