Hey. I don't know how much of a help my comment will be but I thought I will express something that helps me with my obessions. Stop watching porn or at least limit it to very, very little if you can't help it (you will get over it at some point). Dipping yourself in the waters of your obessions is not good for the brain. You might say that watching porn is something normal, a need but it is really not. Not trying to shame though. Just trying to say that it does have an effect on your mind. And I don't think that it is a good one. And liking your body is something very good, many struggle with exactly the opposite. Don't be concerned. Just don't think about it, push it away. And maybe enjoy some cold can of soda :)
100% agree with this. If you ask me, porn is nothing but a drug designed for people to get addicted. It's one of the most well known businesses in our society and we still don't understand the negatives it can have on people, especially younger ones like Garden here. I'll be one to say that adult content and OCD SHOULD NOT mix. I wish I had learned that the easy way. Don't just try to stop watching it by only taking our word for it though. Reduce your time with it to see how it makes a difference for you. It could be interesting
@BigGip09 That is a good idea. We support you garden 😊
@Ana Stefan Thanks so much for your comment. This helps me too. Yes we are here for you OP, this is not to hurt you in any way, we are on your side!
@BigGip09 thank you guys 🥲🥲 you make me feel safe!!
I am not gonna give any good advice cause I don’t know what to say I have HOCD so I can relate to you on that level but have you tried therapy and maybe you get turned on by it cause it’s what you want and you want your partner to like that about you
yeah i agree! i think being told my body parts are ‘sexual’ by wider society will inevitably make me see them as sexual, and fit for a romantic partner. i just hope it’s not a vanity thing☹️
Well, everyone is attracted to their body in one way, not in you want to have intercourse with someone of the same body. Its like the motives of someone saying "Damn im hot" Thàt being, you know your attractive, which also means you find yourself attractive.
I don't think it's that much of a bad thing to consider yourself attractive because that could be considered high confidence. Not a bad thing at all. However, I think you should stop watching porn or at the very least cut down on it. Porn could be the reason why you may think your own body turns you on, due to big breasts in general. I'm not even saying that it's bad for a straight woman to find big boobs attractive since they are a sexual body part for most people. I'm just saying that this could possible be a porn induced attraction and not something that came about naturally, and cutting off porn could make that attraction either decrease greatly or disappear completely. You finding your own breasts attractive shouldn't be a bad thing since I feel this way about my genitals. I just think it's a form of confidence and there isn't a problem with loving your body.
I thought it was normal to be attracted to ur own body
Same here. I see it as confidence and nothing more.
@BigGip09 Ya I think that’s what masturabtion is all about
@tanya29 I think there's ways to appreciate your body without the act of masturbation. But you can definitely explore what floats your boat though I suppose
This has been bugging me a lot
I hope our already existing comments can help you
do you wanna talk about it? :)
You both are so kind. Thank you! I’ll look through these comments and lyk (:
@ ok!
I totally understand
The thoughts are oh so bad again. I even can get turned on by the thought of being sexual with a girl but I really don’t want it. ( I’m a girl ). At least I don’t think I do. I looked up questioning sexuality and it said THIS MAY TRIGGER YOU— it said that if you fear it, it may be because you want it because “sexual attraction can be scary”. I don’t want to be with a girl but I feel like lately that’s all I can think about. I can’t even get turned on or get off ( sorry TMI maybe ) to the opposite sex but I can so easily with the same sex even though I don’t really want to. This is so scary I’m not sure what to do.
one thing with hocd that really trips me up is the fact that i’ve always felt ‘predatory’ (or feared i SEEMED predatory) when getting changed with my friends. like i worry when they’re naked and stuff. and i think this was before hocd too (but idk for sure when hocd began for me). i get turned on by big boobs and i do admit that. but that’s not necessarily a sign of me being a different sexuality, which i’ve gathered after so much reassurance seeking. it’s just i feel uncomfortable getting changed with other women because of it. and that predatory feeling makes me worry i can’t be straight
To my fellow female SOOCD sufferers: I had some really good two weeks with some moments of clarity where I could see through all the bullsh*t my brain is producing. However I got pulled back in the cycle and here we go again 🙄 Atm I‘m not even that panicked about liking girls it is more about my attraction to men that I‘m obsessing about. I don‘t get aroused by just seeing a hot naked guy. I do fantasize more about being touched and everything by a guy and being wanted by him. Sorry if this is tmi but I‘m stressed that this means I don‘t like men enough and that Leads back to my fear of being in denial about being a lesbian. Because then I worry that I could be aroused just by the picture of a woman even if that has never happened before. And also men can get of just by lookin at pictures of hot woman, does that mean that if I am a straight girl I should be able to get turned on by just looking at good looking guys? This has been confusing the hell out of me and the whole concept of comphet hasn’t helped as well. Anyone who can relate?
