I tried doing that before I found NOCD and ERP. It was awful. I experienced arousal and it sent me into a spiral of ruminating and overthinking. Nonconcordence arousal is something that really helped me to learn about. And that humans are naturally aroused by sexual content, even if the mind isn’t.

@wellwellwell I completely understand. I hated it too. Part of the reason it’s happening is because this is what your OCD theme is. It has latched onto this and it will heighten your responses to sexual content, specifically of the same sex. It makes you hyper aware of things that you never would have really noticed it. It’s all a part of the physical OCD stress response.

@wellwellwell lesbian fantasies (not about girls i know) turn me on and i think the best thing is to accept it turned you on and just observe your feelings. that’s how i got over the hump of being in denial about masturbating to lesbian fantasies even if they aren’t voluntary. not saying YOURE in denial about anything i hope you understand what i’m saying lol

@holley what do you mean by lesbian fantasies? like just masturbating to womens bodies or like fantasizing about actually having sex with them?

@lolashewas I can only speak for myself in that sexualized images of women do elicit arousal for me, but no I don’t have fantasies about being with women.

@wellwellwell Good! I would say don’t do anything to check. That is a compulsion. I got myself stuck checking gay porn. First time I was super stressed out and very very turned off. Not much has changed, but my head is all foggy and I can’t tell anymore. I just want to be with my gf, but it is tough.

I keep seeing tiktoks of things that are like ‘things I did as a lesbian in denial’ or ‘things my not so straight straight friend said’ and I feel like I might relate to some!! But idk!! It’s kinda triggering me. I’ve had this 5 years on and off now so when it comes back the whole well you’ve had it so long you must be gay comes up. I have been with my boyfriend almost 6 years and i love him so much I don’t want to be gay (nothing weong with it - I’m just not and don’t want to be!)

Hey guys so I have been suffering with sexual ocd due to the fact that I don’t feel that romantic spark with him anymore, I love him and I know I do but I get to much in my thoughts thinking about why can’t I feel that anymore what has changed what if I don’t wanna be with anymore I’ve been with him for 4 years and at first I think it was ROCD but now I started thinking what if I’m into girls now I’ve always been the type to say oh a girl is so pretty or I like this about her but now I feel like every time I see a girl I’m like do I see myself in a relationship with her oh she’s pretty oh I like her voice do I find it attractive and sometimes I do !!! Which is killing me I feel disgust thinking about because what if I secretly am no shame to people who are my sister herself is but I just feel wierd because I wanna be with my husband and feel happy there not with a girl and feel like a man because I see myself in the mirrior and I’m like do I myself being a man do I look lesbian? Do I act lesbian or bi? What if secretly I wanna be a man or I imagine myself being a man in a relationship with a pretty girl and idk what to think

I feel like the thoughts and feelings are getting stronger, to the point where they feel like they are my own and that I want them and want them to happen. Recently I’ve even had feelings of ‘wanting to be gay’ and that I ‘don’t want to be straight’, or that being with a woman would be nice even though that’s literally the one thing I don’t want otherwise I wouldn’t be constantly thinking about it day after day surely and if I wanted it I would just know? I feel numb and sick and terrified that I’ll just be what I’ve feared all this time. Why does my brain do this. I feel like I’ve lost so much already, I couldn’t concentrate on university work and I’ve had to delay my degree for a year, I’ve lost my purpose, and I feel so ashamed that I can’t tell anyone the real reason for it (I just told everyone the course was too much stress and was causing me anxiety) and it just feels like it’s getting worse to the point that it’s actually coming true, and I’m going to have to leave my boyfriend because I can’t be with him anymore. Why do the thoughts sometimes feel good? Why does it feel like real attraction? Why why why does it feel like DISAPPOINTMENT with the idea of never being with a woman wtf this is literally what I don’t want and never have? Even just writing that out my brain is telling me ‘it is’ and ‘I’m lying’ and I just can’t even believe myself anymore. I’ve tried telling myself the whole maybe maybe not but it just doesn’t work. It feels like if I accept I like woman I’ll want to be with one and leave him. Why does the idea of being with a man not fill me with excitement like it used to why do labels terrify me I genuinely just want to give up I still haven’t even told anyone about this cause I just feel like they won’t understand and that they will just think I’m struggling with my sexuality and the worst thing is I don’t even know what I want anymore cause of the thoughts and feelings I don’t know what to believe what if I am actually just struggling with my sexuality cause nothing feels right anymore
