Remember: sexual arousal doesn't give you your sexual identity. It is much more deep than that. OCD will make you focus on very explicit, sexual images and events, and yes, perhaps some of them would be arousing. It does not mean that you are that sexuality. It just means you're a normal, functioning human with sexual tendencies. I encourage therapy and having a larger perspective on life because OCD is making you think so linearly and black and white.

the thing is i don’t even like the idea of the things that are making me feel this way.but for some reason when i get a thought out of nowhere that all changes, and instead i become super into it. like very. and then when the thought passes it confuses me how that even happened. but i think it’s worth addressing since it did make me feel such an insanely strong way.

@lmaocd🍓🥰 Would you be this harsh on someone who was gay but turned on by straight intimacy? Would you tell them that they couldn't be gay because of arousal that they had? I hope maybe this framing of questioning will help you see a little better. Keep doing the ERP, and try not to seek reassurance. :)

@NOCD Advocate - Kylee C. that’s the whole point of my so-ocd. so that makes it hard. especially since most people dealing with this theme r straight and afraid of being gay and then i’m over here like a loner.

You cant think yourself out of a sexuality. Sexuality is much more complex than that. Are you in therapy?

@Ihateocd83 You can still discover your sexuality but it cannot change. I’m not going to give you reassurance, bc that isn’t going to help you.

Hi sorry you feel like this but this is the equivalent to me saying I’ve thought about winning the lottery for 8months straight I’ve thought about it so badly that I just won it
