@kelce87 it’s only an obsession if it takes a lot of time from you and you deep down know you don’t feel attraction. If you can joke about it and it doesn’t create you anxiety, let me tell you that it’s not an obsession.☺️

Interesting question. I am married to a woman been with her for 15 years so tech “gay” but find men very attractive and even joke about it with my best friend. I have always liked people for their souls yet lately have been very attracted to men. I love my spouse dearly and it could be an obsession but not really sure. People think because I’m “gay” that I am in love w my best friend, which I find unfair. She is just someone I care about and trust dearly. I think in the aforementioned question above, sounds like ocd to me.

When I was in my sophomore year there was this guy at first I kept looking at the guy and saying is he a girl or a guy cause he had really pale skin and long hair then it started to feel like I like the guy every time I looked at him I got worried and scared and the only thing that is freaking me out about that was one time we were in pe and I had the feeling to impress him and I was like wtf the only people I wanted to impress were girls and people I thought were better then like a basketball couch.this is how I know it was hocd because as the anxiety was going completely away I felt nothing towards the guy I wasn’t scared anymore I just looked him and said who cares I’m starting to think that you’re mind can play with your feelings and make you miss interpret them hell you can get the groinal response too.its weird how before this if I ever saw a guy I wouldn’t care I wouldn’t even if he was the most attractive guy ever I still would just look at him and not care but once they get hocd then people start saying they feel like their attracted to the same sex

@ocd333 good point. I use humor and sarcasm a lot to try and deflect or minimize my ocd. I guess it’s a coping mechanism that has evolved over the years.

HOCD is awful with false crushes. My brain kept buzzing and I had weird sensations throughout my body but I know I only fancy men bc of the intrusive part, I actually love and enjoy men. Hope that helped ❤️

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.

Im a 21 year old female in a straight relationship with the best guy a girl could ever ask for. About 2 months ago, I went to get coffee with a friend and as I dropped her off, I got a “weird” vibe from her and the look she gave me which lead to the thought of “should I kiss her”….Ive never had a thought like that before and I never have ever wanted to kiss another girl. I have also never had a desire to be with another girl (sexually or romantically). Now though, I have had one other experience of being with a different friend going to get lunch and it felt weird. Ever since then I have been on google non stop with hundreds of different searches, questioning if im lying to myself of my boyfriend, wondering about my past relationships even though Ive only dated boys, been attracted to boys, crushed on boys, etc… boy crazy! Reading on other forums has been a big thing too or doing quizzes. I believe its SO-OCD but im so scared that what if its not. I am in therapy and actually had two weeks of not even thinking about it or googling it until yesterday. I dont know what to do.

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?
