admiring the same sex is a completely human thing. girls think other girls are cute without being lesbian. attraction to any gender/sex is perfectly normal. when intrusive thoughts occur around this it makes it hard to not overthink attraction but i assure you that everybody has these attractions whether thy are open about it or not, it’s just a part of the human experience. yoire not alone

@tobious Glover I’ve been going through this myself with finding women attractive and maybe i want to be with a woman. This theme and relationship ocd go hand in hand most of time. It’s just trying to get you all tripped up. Don’t fall into the trap as hard as it is not to

@tobious Glover i actually am lesbian so i do but while being a lesbian i still experience attraction to men. I still find them cute and beautiful without wanting a relationship with one :)

@tobious Glover i completely get you. a person cant turn gay but they can discover something about themselves. i think you are now noticing it cause your ocd is constantly on red alert. just think about how you were before your ocd. did you have any interest in guys? did you find the attractive? pretty sure your answer is no so thats the real you. your ocd isnt you. so just let your body feel so that you can heal. when you get a thought, accept its presence but dont look too into it cause its just a thought. i have been doing this and its helped me a lot. its really hard but you will get out of this mess if you just stay true to yourself:)

@ocdomi It really is and honestly i don't see myself with a dude in the future. Me and my girlfriend are in a good spot and I've never had an attraction towards guys before my ocd

@tobious Glover then hold onto your girlfriend and dont let this disorder ruin something so good. i am a girl and i dont see myself being happy with a girl and really want to marry a man. if it doesnt make you happy then it is not for you. dont let your mind tell you what to do cause the brain is just an organ. you have so much more power over it

@tobious Glover thats great!! yeah the mind doesnt know who you are. it takes in your surroundings and makes conclusions. if those conclusions arent you then it isnt you. for me i am just choosing to ignore my intrusive thoughts and move on cause i know that i am and always will be straight and nothing can change your sexuality. stay true to yourself, face your fears head on, and the thoughts will fade away.

It’s not weird for women to find other women attractive soo why would this be any different ? It’s human to find other people attractive whether it be male or female. But it’s also not abnormal to pick up on this as a threat to your relationship which is what it’s doing. Just practice telling yourself “okay i find him attractive maybe I’m gay maybe I’m not but I’m “gay” enough to leave my girlfriend”

Sexual ocd
Hey guys so I have been suffering with sexual ocd due to the fact that I don’t feel that romantic spark with him anymore, I love him and I know I do but I get to much in my thoughts thinking about why can’t I feel that anymore what has changed what if I don’t wanna be with anymore I’ve been with him for 4 years and at first I think it was ROCD but now I started thinking what if I’m into girls now I’ve always been the type to say oh a girl is so pretty or I like this about her but now I feel like every time I see a girl I’m like do I see myself in a relationship with her oh she’s pretty oh I like her voice do I find it attractive and sometimes I do !!! Which is killing me I feel disgust thinking about because what if I secretly am no shame to people who are my sister herself is but I just feel wierd because I wanna be with my husband and feel happy there not with a girl and feel like a man because I see myself in the mirrior and I’m like do I myself being a man do I look lesbian? Do I act lesbian or bi? What if secretly I wanna be a man or I imagine myself being a man in a relationship with a pretty girl and idk what to think

im confused
I don't know for sure if I have HOCD, but it seems like I do, I tried to accept the idea that I'm gay, I felt calm, and then I started to get scared because I didn't feel anxiety anymore, I still feel attracted to my girlfriend, both physically and emotionally, but I feel an attraction to boys, sometimes I panic when I feel attracted and sometimes I don't (but most of the time I do) and I don't want to break up with my girlfriend I want to get back to normal

False attraction?
Y’all I think I’m dealing with false attraction but idk and I can’t tell. It’s bugging me. It’s one specific (female) friend of mine lately. Idk if it’s cuz she’s a lesbian and it’s playing on my soocd or smthn. I keep having groinal responses around her. I don’t see her like that but I’m worried I either am starting to or already do and am suppressing it but I have had no interest in her in the last 2 years she’s been in our group. This started somewhat recently and every time someone makes a sexual joke or smthn (like flashing or twerking) it causes a groinal response and I just kinda shut down. I don’t feel anything in the crush sense of the word. And it’s bugging me that I’m having these thoughts and I keep having thoughts of my bf and then my friend gets placed into the thought and it just makes me upset. Annoyed. I feel this tightness in my chest and it’s not good. I like seeing this friend but I don’t get excited seeing her. I wonder where she is when she’s gone but I do that with all of my friends, if one doesn’t show to our group dinners I ask. I worry I’m making too much eye contact when we talk. I keep checking if I’m feeling anything anywhere but it’s just a persistent groinal response and I’m worried it’s attraction
