The only problem I guess would be that I am not 100 % sure they know, but it really seems like they do. That's why I'm so torn. If I confront them and they know they might deny it and then I just admitted it. If they didn't actually see anything and it's all in my head then again I just admitted it and my fiancee would know if her family decides to tell her... I really think they do know and they are leaving these hints, but I can't be totally sure. That's what's getting to me. I want to say something because it is an invasion of privacy. If I end up saying anything I guess I could just say hey yeah it was a curiosity and I watched it, so what. Thanks for the comment
It has happened to me as well. Any respectful sexologist will tell you it is normal. However I need to ask did you use porn a lot? I started watching pron that don't align with my sexuality as I made great use of porn for many years. That caused me to become bored of the normal porn and i was seeking something more shocking/taboo. However i never wanted to be with another man or trans person in real life. Cut porn off your life man it can really destroy you. It is not natural at all. It can lead people to do unwanted stuff. Porn and sexual fantasies are not reality. Except of same sex and tranny porn I used to watch violent stuff that i would never do in real life. Porn damages our brain.
I did use it a lot. One of my past therapist pointed out that it could be damaging as well. So I don't use it anymore. I have had some slip ups with straight porn over the past few months, but overall I use it way less. I have heard that overuse can lead to more shocking things. I feel the same. Never wanted to be with a guy in real life at all, but the porn I started watching really messed with me and now I think my fiancees family knows and it just all adds up.
@Anonymous Yeah that could prove difficult to get over with. What really helped me get over the HOCD and my porn addiction was being open about it to my girlfriend. I sit one day down and i explained it to her and she is such an amazing person and understood what i was going through. With her support and help i managed to overcome it. Wish you the best. Hopefully you can get over this thing.
@Nick Did you tell her everything? The type of porn too? Because even though I do want to tell her in a way I just think it might end up bad. But I'm really leaning towards it.
@Anonymous I told her that I watched some pretty weird shit. I didn't tell her too much details but I did tell her that I watched some stuff that made me question my sexuality. By telling her she figured out that i needed help. If i really liked what i watched I would not be open to her about it. But I don't want to pressure you into anything. Since you have stopped watching I don't see a reason to feel any type of way. Even if your fiance know and she confronts you about you can tell her that you were just checking them out of curiosity or something because essentially that what you did. It is not like you would lie as you didn't enjoy this type of porn and you wouldn't want to do any of it in reality.
@Nik07 I see what you're saying, but that's the dilemma. If I really liked what I watched. All I know is that it freaks me out. The fact that I watched it and went back to it a number of times. I know I don't want guys or transsexuals in person. I know I'm attracted to women. I have a lot to think about. Thanks man
@Anonymous Yeah no worries. I think thats where the OCD gets in or else you wouldn't be here. I struggled myself a lot as I also thought "Do i really like it" but after some time and after struggling a lot I realised that it was a fixed fetish. I never had the urge to try and watch this type of porn before it only came when the old porn didn't hit the same anymore and I was looking for something more taboo and shocking. I remember before stumbling across porn like that snd feeling disgusting and losing my sex drive and all of a sudden a few years later I would like to watch thos type of shit. It takes time to overcome this man but from what I've read so far you're a straight man. Keep the fight up snd wish you the best.
So I have finished the main part of the nocd program. I'm still talking to my therapist from time to time. I guess maintenance phase. I have been going through a lot. I'm was still getting triggered by my fiances family, but I would do the thought prevention. I know I can't be 100 percent certain. So I have been trying so much. I've done exposures. It got to the point where I wasn't avoiding her family anymore but I was still getting triggered. I dealt with it. The problem is that my mental problems that revolve around my fiances family has taken a toll on her. She has been depressed because of is. She doesn't trust me anymore. I wanted to tell her what I've been going through. I mean everything. So I did. I told her that I watched transexual porn. She started asking a lot of questions. She was upset, but I told her that I wasn't gay it was just the the porn I watched escalated. I would never do something with a guy or transsexual person in reality. I told her that I'm attracted women and that I am so attracted to her and always have been. Our sex life is great. The only problem is I'm addicted to this specific type of porn. Ever since I told her it feels like things have been different. She doesn't look at me the same. For months she's been distant. We have been fighting a lot recently because my mental health has been real bad and it's making her sad too. She said she tried to understand but she definitely doesn't like that I got into that porn. Basically she called off the marriage and she's saying it's because of something from our past that she can't get over. We had broken up about 10 years ago and were apart for 8 months. She slept with other people and I ended sleeping with one of her best friends. We got back together and I didn't tell her. I didn't tell her for 5 years. I lied to her about it because she asked. I still lied. It was the worst thing I ever did and I hate myself for it. How could I do that to someone I love so much. I have begged for forgiveness and apologized a thousand times. She eventually told me that she would let it go so we can move forward in our relation ship and she did. Well now that I'm going through all this now and telling her about the porn, she brought up the past. She says she's leaving me because of what happened 10 years ago and how I lied. But it seems like she's using it as an excuse because she can't accept what I'm going through right now. It feels like she doesn't see me as the man she thought I was. We were supposed to get married and start a family and I ruined it all.
