I have at various periods of my life thought of hurting myself or others constantly. The only āwhyā to explain its occurrence was OCD.

You are human, anything in a sexual nature will get you going. What OCD does is it puts too much significance to the idea. Keep trying, at the end of the day you know who you are and what you prefer. It takes time but itās a technique to train the brain to stop worrying. If you worry then the cycle of thoughts wonāt go away I also posted on the main page on how I got over it, a lot has to do with porn escalation

One day youāll just snap back into reality, and be confused about what the hell did I go through What caused this way of thinking? For me it was a sex scene on American horror story of two men, I got aroused by the sexual nature in general but my Brain went full OCD/panic mode after that. At the end of the day weāre human, we can get aroused by almost anything lol

Porn is a bitch. Grow to hate it. Chase after women. Mine started at 22 as well. But stopping porn minimized my symptoms. There is the evidence in what you said, you went back to it, fetishes can come back even faster. People with OCD cannot do porn and thatās the sad truth about it/: but in exchange you get benefits in life.

Itās legally available. They take out the medicinal properties from marjuana. Thereās a lot of research that it helps people with OCD. So when I tried it, I was so happy that it made me full normal, I could think straight. Aroused by woman. Taking it basically told me that something was wrong with me, that all those thoughts were from OCD. Because after ingesting it, no more bad thoughts.

Yeah same here. Looks like you have the same story as me on how I started out. I took a dab once of wax and thought it got washed with chlorine. It put me into full panic mode and ambulances came(it was my first panic attack) . I was healthy by the end of it all. It was embarrassing but thatās what OCD does to you

Much better, I still have depression and anxiety but way less than how it was before. And for me it started after I saw a sex scene of American horror story of two men. Then went to the theater to watch JOKER. It fucked me up lol then I thought I was going crazy, felt I was a bad person for having urges/thoughts of the worse things imaginable, couldnāt even be around my lil brother... I almost threw up at the thought of me committing these acts. I had enough, was desperate for help, appointments were months away. So I admitted myself to a mental hospital where I stayed for 2 weeks. I was already taking Prozac, and trying all sorts of pills. Finally I was ready to go home after my thoughts went away.. either the Prozac finally kicked in or my episode just faded away. I then tried CBD to eliminate the remaining symptoms that I had. And it helped me snap back. Donāt get me wrong I still get these thoughts but once in a blue moon as it should be.

Try CBD and quit porn for good. Never go back to it. Limit watching R-rated films/TV shows. Balance what you watch basically. Do this and see where it goes. And if it fails trust me itās not the end of the world. At the end of the day you might be Bi-curious. Nothing wrong with that. And I know how that may feel, you donāt want to hear that part thatās why itās a last option. I honestly think the whole world is bi-curious. Weāre creatures that like to fuck lol itās just what you prefer(:

And yeah I did, I thought I was gay. I told my gf and it was a huge mess but deep down I knew it wasnāt true, Iāve seen gay sex scenes before and I have gay friends and never felt a thing. I was attracted to men and sick to say this I also had POCD. I couldnāt hang out with my little brother, it haunted me too much. If I was too close to a guy Iād think of his lips, Iād get anxiety. Itās all gone now. Sometimes I get groinal responses but I know thatās just because it was of a sexual nature.

Just because you think theyāre attractive it can cause that anxiety too. Models.. Men or woman. Your brain tricks you thinking āoh heās attractive, time to get anxiety and flow blood down to that areaā itās a respond that you need to break apart from. Why ERP helps so much

If you have a gay friend ask them for advice. They will understand what youāre going through. Some gay men are really pushy though so be careful, theyāll insist your gay and wonāt even care about your OCD.

Hey sorry I took so long, but how are you feeling rn? And is your family very religious/skeptical about Sexuality changes?
- Date posted

Take this advice if you want cause I know how distressing calling yourself this can be. But try to just tell yourself youāre āBi-curiousā Not Bi-sexual, Not Gay. This just lets you know youāre human with thoughts. Youāre curious about Everything. If you really feel like your in denial ask a trusted friend to help you out. Give him a kiss and hug to see how you feel, if theyāre comfortable with it. Some men with Sexuality OCD feel disgusted with themselves after committing a gay act, and it proves to them that it was ocd the whole time. Thoughts can go away with the ultimate reassurance. Facing the fear.

I've always found women pretty and admired them since I was younger, never wanted to be with them or anything. I always pictured having a boyfriend and my crushes were always boys. I have a boyfriend now but because this has happened I feel nothing towards him or any men. To be honest I'm so exhausted I don't feel much at all, there was so much anxiety at the start and now there is none. Does that mean I have accepted the thoughts. My mind keeps going you were suppressed all these years but I do find women pretty so that's what's making it worse. Am I just in denial and being delusional? I never doubted my sexuality before this I always considered myself to be straight but I feels like my mind has been twisted and can't remember any attraction to guys but can remember thinking girls are pretty? Does this mean it's all real? I don't know anymore

what the hell? this entire day ive been trying to do ERP right? allowing the thoughts feelings, sensations be there with very little reaction, saying"oh that's a thought", "that's a feeling" don't care" etc. But it seems to be making it 100x times worse. Like its impossible to just"ignore" it, it feels so freaking real as if this was the truth, the doubts are real, the false attraction feelings and lip sensations are REAL and genuine attraction, feels ego-synotic, its impossible just to ignore or move on from it because I think I'm so hyperfocused on it all so it last the whole day. IDK right now it feels and seems as if I lost? like its not a what if but it feels factual like"I'm naturally gay, I'm gay" and it feels like normal and become ok with that. But I don't want that I don't want to be gay.

I keep having this weird feeling none stop that itās most likely not HOCD and most my feelings. Like Iāve suffered none stop distress and unwanted thoughts the past few days. But those thoughts after a bit just feel weird not the kind of discomfort but are just their and stale. When I look at a guy I donāt feel anything but my thoughts sometimes compliment his looks or personality which makes me doubt my sexuality. Iāve never felt this weirded out. Because Iāve always been straight and still believe I am but Iāve never even had an emotional connection to someone of the opposite gender in fact. My view of the female body has been ruined with none stop pornography addictions. I donāt believe Iām gay but I feel like it may just be denial instead of HOCD but all my symptoms are literally HOCD. I donāt hate the idea of gay people but I canāt imagine or see my heart going off to like someone of the same sex. I havenāt really had any meaningful real life friends besides online but that also ended a few months ago. My only friend ever online that was my friend for the longest of time was a queer but I never really cared about what he liked. Like yes at some point I did try to challenge him with his own feelings but that didnāt last long I just accepted what he liked and moved on. Iāve never even touched let alone held a long conversation with a female. Iāve always been timid and shy around them but I can just say that towards male as well. The gay feelings feel so real. The thoughts feel a bit natural to me but I donāt want this. But I hate how I canāt just move on and be myself and love women when those thoughts demand attention and an answer. It wonāt quit it. If I try to do a compulsion it calms down but it quickly becomes a problem again. Iām lonely I donāt have any friends or past relationships I can even think of helping me with the emotions. I still believe Iām straight and I just canāt see myself with a guy. It just doesnāt feel right for me despite my lack of experiences. I just wanna go back to how I was happy and loving girls and not having to question if it was a real feeling or just my natural timid nature. Everytime I think these distressing thoughts I always just wanna sit down and close my eyes and sleep. Because thatās where I can have peace of self. It sucks but Iām so exhausted of having to deal with emotional distress and I canāt even focus on my job as much. I want to meet new people discover my love for women again but Iām scared in the process I may discover I may be gay. Because deep down I know I wouldnāt ever be happy with myself if my greatest fears where confirmed. My dream of always being a father with a loving women and kids would be torn away by something I never asked for. Yes Iām religious, yes I come from a place that homosexuals are usually seen in a bad light. I just hate feeling this emotion that I may not be what I thought and having my dreams torn apart maybe true. Iāve read MUTIPLE articles about HOCD and seen MUTIPLE videos. Iāve come to the realization that I most likely have it. But itās still hard when the feelings of maybe being gay maybe true you know? I hope I get better I hope I donāt suffer. I just wanna be happy with myself and loving females and I donāt wanna hate myself for feeling an emotion that never occurred to me more then a few times.
