@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 ❤️

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?

Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

So I identify as a lesbian and I am in a committed relationship with a wonderful girl. But i’m stressing that I have crushes on boys I go to school with. I get anxious around them, which I think I mistake for excitement. I obsess over it in my head which confuses me a lot. Idk I also never think about them sexually or romantically but I think about them often which is scaring me. Any advice?
