Because I’m not sure if how I feel towards others is sexual attraction or just general attraction. When people describe sexual attraction im not sure i’ve ever felt like that, when people say “you just want to rip off their clothes”, I don’t think I’ve ever had that. I’ve had sex with men many times, sometimes it’s been good and sometimes it hasn’t. But I must add to this, sometimes when I end up having sex with these men, it’s not because I am necessarily Sexually attracted to them (I think?) it’s just because we get on and I find them physically attractive to look at. It’s hard to explain! I’ve always thought I was asexual, I never understood why people would have sex, now I understand but I just don’t feel the same. I only enjoy it when I’m in love with a person. I think. It’s confusing ?

The actual act of sex is pleasing, but its almost as if I have sex with these men just because I know they’re attractive, not because I myself am very attracted to them. Does that make sense ?

Yeah it doesn’t sound asexual to me, but who knows it’s your own experience and how you relate to them, I can’t even try to figure out that for you. But ocd is a little different than sexual attraction and experiences, and ocd can make them feel very real. And there is when you can make a difference to how you relate to them, either you start avoiding them or facing it head that you don’t really know if you are gay or not. Is tough shit but not impossible hope you find the help you need

Hi everyone, Lately, I’ve been feeling confused and anxious about my sexuality, which has been challenging to navigate. I’ve always identified as straight and am currently in a happy relationship with my boyfriend. However, I’ve recently started questioning if I might have some attraction to women, which has caused me a lot of anxiety. To be clear, I’ve never experienced romantic or physical attraction toward women in real life, but I have watched lesbian porn in the past. Now, I can’t help but worry that this might mean I’m attracted to women after all. On top of this, I’ve noticed a decrease in my sexual desire for my boyfriend, which only intensifies my concerns about both my sexual orientation and my relationship. This confusion is something I’ve never dealt with before, and it’s starting to take an emotional toll. If anyone has experienced something similar, I would really appreciate any advice or insights on how you worked through it. What helped you find clarity? Someone mentioned that my anxiety might be OCD-related, though I’m not familiar with OCD in this context. I’d love to hear from anyone with experience in navigating these kinds of thoughts or anxiety. I’m open to any personal stories, resources, or guidance on how to approach this situation, both for myself and in communication with my partner. I want to better understand what I’m feeling without being overwhelmed by fear. Thank you in advance for your support!

Ok so I’m a 17 year old female, and I’ve always thought I was straight. But I just really want to know how you would know the difference between so-ocd and actually questioning your sexuality. I have nothing against the LGBTQ community (in fact I am very much a token straight friend, lol) but I saw a video about comp-het recently and it sort of felt like what I was experiencing. I don’t want to be gay, I want to be with men, I want to like men, I’ve always liked men, but now I’m questioning whether or not that’s real? Because people can be gay but not want to be right? I’m single and I always have been. I think women are gorgeous, but when I try to imagine actually having any sort of romantic or sexual relationship with a woman it feels wrong, at least most of the time it does? Sometimes I’m less sure, and I’ve never been particularly boy crazy. I’ve liked maybe 2 or 3 people in my life, (not to say I’ve never found other guys attractive, but it doesn’t seem to be as often as most people) I have no particular reason to be afraid of being gay, very supportive family, safe area ect, but I don’t want to be, does that mean this is ocd, I don’t know what’s going on every time I say I’m straight I feel like I’m lying, but that might just be because I think about it so much. The idea of being with a woman doesn’t feel like something I would want, but is that just because I don’t want to want it? People online say things with so much sureness, if you feel like this it means this. Ect.
