rationalizing thoughts isnt going to make it any better. the ocd will always try and find another “what if” anytime you try and argue with it. accept the presence of the thought and say “maybe that thought is true, maybe its not.” thoughts dont mean anything but your ocd will make you think they will so that it stays alive. in order to deal with groinals stop giving them meaning. dont be surprised when what happens and dont give it any meaning cause the more meaning you give them the more they will occur. you got this!!

@strawberry ice cream i relate!! like at this point i dont really care if being with girls is the “true me” cause i simply dont want it. but ocd is a really messed up thing where the more you think about it the more your brain is trying to convince you. it mimics your deepest fears. if you fear losing attraction to men, it will do that. if you fear feeling a groinal towards women, it will do that. we just have to show it we aren’t afraid so that it stops. the way you do that is by saying “that may have been a real feeling, it may have not but i am not going to fixate on it”

Yes. I can understand when a girl is hot my body never did things or maybe I did and I never noticed. Here how I know that my feelings are different for men and women. When guys touch me I get aroused almost instantly and it’s intense. I love that feeling. When It happened for the first time I didn’t know what that feels was. When girls do that I feel uncomfortable and I don’t feel anything. It’s not helpful that you think no boy would love you and said you were bisexual but didn’t feel something for girls. Like I wanted to but then I got bored and I tell them “hey I like boys” they yell at me which gives me even more guilt.

Yes. I made the mistake of trying to rationalize with a thought and I kept checking for attraction and it just spiraled. I knew better. I guess it was just early and I wasn’t trying to sit with uncertainty atm.

I won’t explain this again if you’ve been or going through it you know what I’m talking about. I felt good about women about an hour ago and now I’m worrying again I’m anxious and the groinals are back and it’s so annoying because I can’t study. And honestly I’m so sick and tired of this. I’ve been a girl crazy my whole life and my mind randomly decides “well what if you are gay” like bro. I’ve never seen a guy that way and in general IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT OR ASSOCIATED MYSELF WITH. IVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING TOWARDS A MAN AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT RANDOMLY FLIPPED. I CANT DO THIS BRO. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INSECURITIES ALREADY AND MY ATTRACTION WAS THE ONLY REAL THING I HAD LEFT AND NOW THIS. HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE ME GOD.

Everyone talks about the physical sensations that come with reacting to sexual content, even if it’s something you do not agree with (like bestiality, pedophilia, or incest). But what about the mental feeling, like when it feels like you liked the thought? I think I might have asked this before, but does anyone else relate? It stresses me out that I have a mental reaction to something of sexual content more than groinals. Anyone else?
