Because you are overattending. Men are also attractive. And finding someone attractive doesnt mean you are gay. So you cancsay that, ut never happened before. Yeah, it didnt. But because you never thought about it. Now you try to avoid finding men atrractive. Dont do this. Just dont care about it. If you try avoiding thinking about elephants are attractive ( it wont work for you, beacuse you will find it silly but someone can have that kind of obsession) you will them attractive. Don't worry, you are just overthinking and attending. All bcz of OCD

Hey brother I was watching a video by Christy hodges yesterday who also has ocd and is an advocate. She said we notice more things based on our theme because they are kn our radar so if you have harm ocd u tend to notice every news story about harm, every show with harm in it stands out more, so since you have hocd you are noticing every penis because its on your radar and it's not your fault. Your brain has a glitch. Hope this helps and that you start to feel better

Chrissie Hodges has the best videos. Not to tell you to seek reassurance but she has a great way of explaining different themes and OCD.

Just tired af... Anyone else feels like everything is a lie all the time and there is no "before the OCD I was boy crazy" just the OCD since forever... or denial because of that aspect? Really struggeling with the physical aspect of SOOCD : looking at a women's body and really feeling something and getting turned on and looking at a man's and not feeling anything... I just dont understand! I asked my friends and many of them said they dont feel anything looking at a man's body as well (they're straight) but also looking at a women's doesnt feel like much. I just dont understand ughhhh

When first triggered it was every male possible. I couldnāt even go shopping⦠it was all ages of male, all sizes, and the groinal response was non stop. Like always a feeling there. Then it calmed down but male voices⦠I couldnāt listen to the music I use to enjoy or movies Iāve always been interested in. Then it kinda dyed down to people who are good looking but Iāve never in my life been attracted to males and beards. I couldnāt even always say they are good looking but never had this fear, the head ache constantly pounding feelings before. Now itās still good looking males but Iām noticing body shape now? What is this!? Soon as I see a male figure my body feeling like it goes into shock, preparing for the anxiety feeling of āfalseā attraction. It makes me sweat, and nauseous. Is this OCD or after 32 years of loving woman now gone? I donāt really have attraction towards woman (brief moments but not how I use to be) and this makes me so depressed. I donāt want to live like this. The only thing stoping me is my children and wife.

Has anyone experienced where you love woman everything about them, even to the point where you still can get erections watching normal porn, lesbian porn etc. but you find your self still admiring a good looking man. Iāve went through the groinal responses when seeing a man but honestly after watching porn and realizing itās not about sex it went away. On the other hand even when thereās a male and a female in a picture I canāt stop looking at the male and judging, but the minute theyāre naked Iām fine and looking at the woman. I started watching porn at a very young age so Iām wondering do I only sexualize woman and admire the man so in everyday life I donāt see her as beautiful because sheās not naked ? I understand as a straight male I can still think guys are attractive but why do I constantly notice them more than women? I also can admire and see when a girl is beautiful in the face but then if a dude thatās more attractive than me pops up in staring at him. Has anyone experience this?
