The problem with these kinds of videos is that many people who are genuinely LGBTQ do not know about HOCD/SO OCD , so they take any physical sensation to be indicative of orientation even when there’s no actual connection or evidence between the two. You have to be careful with judging your experiences side by side with someone else’s , as you can’t know for sure what shaped them , the details they left out , etc. these videos always simplify sexuality and attempt to help people know for sure what they are , but the truth is , it’s more complex then they make it out to be. It’s not important whether she knew she liked them at an early age , and you can’t compare your story to hers. No two stories are the same and if two people experience the same thing it could still mean something differently for both. I saw one of these on YouTube and at the time I took it very seriously but now looking back I realize it’s such bullshit and the misinformation is truly astounding and scary. If these people knew more about being a human , they would realize that there are experiences the majority of humans have that are NOT signs of sexual orientation. Arousal non concordance , groinal sensations , and OCD creating false feelings are well known , but please try your hardest to accept that you might not be straight. Not because you aren’t , but so you can get under the fear and have it not rule over you constantly. Tell yourself that even if you were not straight , you would be okay with that and that you would somehow learn to accept it no matter what.

I hate It when some of the LGBT community are trying to convince the others that they are homosexual too.Im not homophobic at all but I know this girl that was always talking about me and my bestie that we are acting ‘’gay’’ just because we were holding hands and stuffs and because we said something about a celebrity but It wasnt something serious we were just kidding and this girl was like ‘’nd you are telling me that you are not gay?’’ and It was so annoying

Yeah... I remember watching a video like that too when my hocd first started. They always no matter what always say “if you’re watching this or questioned it then you might be” like well hmm. Okay I guess so.

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

I’m 25 and never ever thought this before my soocd relapse. I have a bf of 5 years. Never been a high libido kinda girl. Don’t get me wrong I do get turned on by my bf but not like every day you know? - That had always been in the back of my head, is this normal and ok? But my ocd has latched onto the most scariest what if EVER. My brain is now saying How do you know you won’t prefer to sleep and kiss girls if you haven’t tried it: and it’s that unknown that is scaring the shit out of me. I DONT AND NEVER HAVE wanted to sleep / kiss a girl. But now my intrusive thoughts is all I think about!!! I don’t want I don’t want I don’t want??? So why does my brain think BUT WHAT IF??? I know ocd thrives off uncertainty which is why I think this is happening? But I don’t wanna find out or work it out because all I want is to be with my bf and marry him!! Is this just the epitome of OCD?

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
