Homosexual OCD affecting my attraction to women

Hello there. OCD can be a cause of intrusive thoughts including these types of thoughts you mentioned. The fact that you don't have a desire to be with men but are having thoughts of it, could indicate intrusive thoughts. Many people with OCD experience doubts and anxiety about their identity, even when it doesn't match their true desires. You are not alone in this, and recovery is possible. If you’d like additional support, feel free to book a free call with our NOCD team. We’d be happy to share more information and explore ways to help. No one has to live in fear of their own thoughts.

You are not alone I get thoughts that feel pleasurable & disgusting at that same time with bunch of anxiety. Im a lesbian and feels like im lying to myself on top of that I have body image issues with sexual performance anxiety which I think triggers this theme of ocd for me. I know I don’t like being with men but the Groinal response and what ifs causing me to spiral

I’m in a similar boat. Have always dated women and am in a healthy relationship, but now it’s “well what if I want polygamy with both genders” and the anxiety behind intrusive thoughts hasn’t been this bad in forever, which make me think it’s real. It’s absolutely horrible so I feel for you

You're definitely not alone, frozenmangos. SO-OCD is horrifying and it really sucks when all these obsessions start popping up when we've been so certain of our heterosexuality all our lives.
