I sometimes forget that I'm not the only one going through this. I feel your pain of losing the attraction. That animal feeling for the opposite sex and having that almost disappear while your mind tries to replace it with the worst thing imaginable. It's hell on earth. I've been at this a long time and while I've seen some improvement due to therapy (without meds), I had a bad day and bad days easily make me forget alot of the progress I've made. God bless you all. We will beat this...

See even before i was never boy crazy I got this when i was 12/13 and im 18 now, so i was just starting to be interested in a guys (literally like four months before i told my grandpa who i was really close too that i think im starting to like guys) and i only ever saw guys as romantic partners even though i knew it was possible to like girls (i just never really thought about it or cared until hocd) Like right before this hit i had my first sex dream with a guy and enjoyed it And then this would come and go and the last time it went i was 15 and fell in love with a guy but since him / then there’s just been nothing Im so scared :( I feel like i was a lesbian as a child and didnt realize it And this false attraction / ocd shit has gotta be the most confusing thing ever

Mine started when I was about 16 what makes it worse is I did actually experiment with guys a little when I was like 9 years old so maybe I’m actually bi but I don’t think as an adult now I would actually do stuff with a guy

And ohhh see i never experimented past like childhood “show me yours and ill show you mine” or spying on your friends getting changed (i did that once) But the following year a girl tried to strip in front of me when i was 11, and got fully naked and tried to come onto me (she’s a lesbian now) and i shielded my eyes and yelled at her that it was disgusting

@hate_ocd.123 I did experimented when I was young but told the boy to act like a girl, for years I felt shame because of what I did, I remember I called myself a bunch of names for doing it before I got hocd and was 100000 percent straight, I hated myself for what I did when I was young but then I realized it’s normal for kids to do that stuff when their young, apparently most straight people did it when they were young yknow

@dylen Yea man I just think it’s fucking feeding this though like a reason for me to believe it you know

There’s no such thing as experimenting when you’re 9…. You were playing. Children have 0 concept of sexuality, attraction, and sex until around again 12 or again much much later ! You did something you’re seeing as unacceptable and inappropriate but so many of us did this too

I'm really struggling with this loss of attraction. I don't even think of girls and it feels like I'm attracted to men and there genitals and don't really like women's. but I know I'm still attracted to women like I couldn't keep my eyes off them even since this all started at 22 years of age and I never questioned my sexuality before then. I'm 38 now and it just feels as tho I want to be with a man. But I just can't that. And I think I find it disgusting but I'm not even sure now 😔

I've always found women pretty and admired them since I was younger, never wanted to be with them or anything. I always pictured having a boyfriend and my crushes were always boys. I have a boyfriend now but because this has happened I feel nothing towards him or any men. To be honest I'm so exhausted I don't feel much at all, there was so much anxiety at the start and now there is none. Does that mean I have accepted the thoughts. My mind keeps going you were suppressed all these years but I do find women pretty so that's what's making it worse. Am I just in denial and being delusional? I never doubted my sexuality before this I always considered myself to be straight but I feels like my mind has been twisted and can't remember any attraction to guys but can remember thinking girls are pretty? Does this mean it's all real? I don't know anymore

Can having socd make you lose attraction. I have never be the girl to obsess or chase after boys does that mean I’m gay. I had crushes on them but I would rather die then have them know I like them. Plus I knew they were out of my league so even if they did like me I feel like I would say no for some reason. I have been single all my life and thinking of being in a relationship feels so weird and scary and foreign. Like I feel like I won’t be in a relationship. I won’t look good with anyone or I will feel like an imposter. Idk how to explain it. I want to feel love but all this is making me feel like I never will.

I feel sick to my stomach, a few days ago I knew I was straight and could picture my life with my bf again. The anxiety has really lessend and Im more depressed now. I'm 100% convinced I am lesbian even tho I have never had sexual attraction to women, found them pretty but never wanted to be with them. My mind is only picturing me being with women now and it feels like a pit in my stomach. I don't feel emotion now, I'm also on my period. I don't want to be lesbian. I want to be with my boyfriend and have the life I pictured with him. My memory is so dissorted right now. I don't think there's anything wrong with being lesbian, it's just not for me and now that makes me feel like I'm homophobic.
