As the anxiety goes down is the attraction supposed to go down too? My anxiety has been reduced but my attraction to the same gender is still there which still bothers me and makes things more scary.

It’s so normal to still have gronial responses after all of your anxiety lessens. That’s actually causes a lot of people to back foot spike! But once you’re able to identify the responses it all just becomes a dumb thought in the back of your mind! Don’t let ocd scare you :)

I understand but this feels more than just a groin response:

@Anonymous Yeah I know! Sometimes it’s feels so real :/ But if you don’t want these thoughts to be true they don’t have to be. It’s all up to you❤️

Omg. Same here. So hard. Feeling real aroused from thinking some girl's lips is pretty. So scary. And my attraction towards men DOESNT COME BACK.

Me too! I wonder that as well. I tried to find research about sensations and feeling because of OCD but there’s no concrete answer I could find.
