Oh yeah, ocd does that sometimes to me when i watch straight porn. My ocd is telling me that i could maybe like to be the girl and so i could like doing it with the guy. Usually it doesn't last long, i just tell my ocd to fuck off but i do a bit of erp too. I expose myself to the doubt by saying to myself that right now my senses are telling me that i wouln't like to have sex with a man, but there's still a very very low possibility that it could happen in the future, i don't know when. Just be careful when watching porn because it could transform into a compulsion. It took me time to realise that but when i had a big fight with my ocd without or with compulsions, i would go watch porn just to change my mind. But what i was doing is reassuring myself that i was still straight and i know this because when i refrain from watching porn, my ocd anxiety just get worst. Maybe it's not your case but just be careful of the time you decide to watch porn. If it coincides with an ocd attack or close to one, it could be a compulsion.

Hey thanks for the reply. Yeah I know that porn might make it worse. Also is very difficult, especially because they say that women tend to get turned on by anything sexual. So yeah you can question yourself a lot. I don’t think I am using it as a compulsion, but anything could be. It’s difficult to understand if it’s natural or just to stop the doubt. I find it difficult to say that I might get aroused by ‘female-female’ sexual acts and still say I’m straight. But I know that’s what OCD wants me to do...

Do you know why do we feel arousal in hocd and why despite of it, it doesn't mean anything about our sexual orientation? It's an normal automatic trigger system in our brain that we do notice now because of our hyper awareness about anything mental or physical caused by hocd. Here a link that explain it if you haven't already read about it; https://moodsmith.com/hocd-feeling-aroused/

Yeah thank a lot for that. I know it’s very hard to explain and understand. And OCD triggers us to give it meaning.
