Can somebody hear me out please,? This is such a weird obsession.. But I just wanna talk about it. Please tell me how to deal with this obsession?? Ok so whenever I'm at home I sometimes decide to just walk to the kitchen to grab something. But while my hands are down, near my pockets, I'm afraid that I'm gonna touch my dad or my brothers penis.. Ok this is weird..So now i actually did touch and now I'm really worried. Groinal responses are crazy, my ocd tells me that I liked the feeling of touching a penis and is telling me that I'm gay... Now I'm freaking out.. Please help please tell me how do i make this anxiety subside???

Here is what WORKED for me: -Think of ur mind as a second person, as person who always with u, its not u but another person. -This way u know that ur mind is seperate from u. -Now just observe all the thoughts & emotions thrown at u by ur mind(the second person). -Do not fight or react, only observe, acknowledge and let the thoughts stay. -Now you can see that this person(ur mind) is mostly talking rubbish. - Then u can process the useful thoughts & ignore the useless thoughts.

Maybe the “belief” that we adopted that says that being gay is bad (either from society, religion or from parents) is what causes turmoil in our brains. We must know that sexual exploration is natural as a human being, no matter if done with the same or opposite sex. Do you have a deep buried curiosity for what it’s like to intimately explore life with a guy? Cause even if that were the case, what you must remember is that it is okay. It is better to go into self exploration in safe ways, rather than react to “fear” hence react to the impulse that OCD might create (which is the situation you described). Let’s realize that we can experience fear but choose to not react to it. We can instead self explore with love.

You have to accept the possibility that you aren’t straight and accept that there wouldn’t be anything wrong with that. You could still make room for happiness , your hobbies , your purpose , etc. it wouldn’t change anything unless you let it.

@himz333 love that. Beautifully said
