i think since you have sexual orientation ocd that your libido is very low. which is common for people with ocd/mental illness and that makes you feel no desire to have sex. also with sexual orientation ocd you are scared that you won’t enjoy sex with your boyfriend.

The only problem is this was happening even before my sexual orientation theme. :/

@PinkLotus hmm well i don’t want to tell you that you are another sexuality but are you experienced with sex? sometimes people who haven’t had sex might be uncomfortable since its new to them and they aren’t sure about it

@sb12367 No not at all, he’s my first partner and yeah that’s how I feel just very unsure and kind of lost and what’s supposed to happen. But I am interested in that connection with him

@PinkLotus Since this is your first partner, your nerves could just be frazzled from worrying about keeping things perfect on the first time. Give it some time, and it may mellow out.

If you enjoy it when you focus on him then maybe the pleasure you feel is more guided towards making him happy than your own satisfaction.

Well when he’s pleasing me I don’t have to focus on it at all, it feels great and I just want him closer to me. But when it’s his turn I’m very concerned with whether or not I’m doing a good job, is he enjoying it, what if I look dumb, what if I smell bad etc. I just don’t want to have sex with anyone else or a woman

@PinkLotus I should also mention that I haven’t gone all the way with my partner yet because I’m still scared of losing my virginity and ending up pregnant. We’ve also never had the right place to do things so I’m always scared I’m going to get caught or in trouble. And I’ve never been able to make myself orgasm before because I become much too sensitive

@PinkLotus Take deep breaths to calm down. Don't rush into sex, give yourself time to adjust to the intimacy you already have with him.

@LuckyPink We haven’t been able to be intimate in 9 months due to him joining the military, only FaceTime stuff. Before quarantine I was a little selfish but I still very much wanted and desired him and we’d always be very active though I still had those concerns about doing a good job,etc. afterward quarantine it was suddenly so difficult and different and I felt like I had just lost that side of me and since then it’s been like that. In quarantine I got really bad rocd and just so much stress/anxiety. I feel like a horrible partner

It sounds like demisexuality, but that's not for my place to assign that label to you. That's something you have to decide on, but don't force yourself a label you aren't comfortable with. The AVEN has plenty of information on it if you're interested. When you feel worried like that, don't be afraid to ask him for feedback. If he's a good boyfriend he should make you feel safe in such a vulnerable moment. And it's ok to be more emotionally attracted than sexually.

Can demisexuals still have and enjoy sex ? I do want that, I’m just scared that I’m not attracted to my partner because I don’t know how to fully let go of myself in the sexual aspect. My partner is very supportive and he always encourages me to be vocal I just don’t tell him because it seems like I’m not as sexually attracted to him as he is to me and that breaks my heart because I love all of him and I want him to feel wanted. I’m just so uninformed on all this sex stuff

Yes, asexuals and demisexuals can still have and enjoy sex. Some enjoy it because they like seeing their partner happy, some enjoy the experience, it's just a matter of feeling sexual attraction. And I'm glad he's good to you. Still try to tell him when you have these fears so he knows where your head is at. Communication is very important when having any sexual experience. And even if you aren't as into him sexually, that doesn't make your love any less. Sexual attraction and romantic attraction are different things. By the way, you can be a hetero romantic asexual. That means you are asexual but still feel "straight" attraction romantically.

And is it wrong if my pleasure comes from giving him pleasure and making him happy? Sorry about all these questions I just don’t know about any of this. And yes I’m going to talk to my partner and let him know so we can navigate together. I just don’t want him to think I don’t want to have sex with him or that I don’t find him attractive

@PinkLotus Not at all. That's perfectly fine. As long you are both enjoying each other's company. I do recommend looking into the Asexuality Visibility Network (AVEN) for more info just in case it is a genuine sexuality issue. Even if it's just the OCD, it's still ok to have a lower libido and preferring to make your partner happy. It's also normal to be nervous in your first relationship. 🙂

I don’t want to have sex with anyone else, I’d rather force myself than have sex with a woman. Please I don’t want this but that just feels like denial

Not trying to put any new sexuality concerns on your head, but could it be asexuality? Asexual people can still enjoy sex but they just don't feel sexual attraction. Demisexuality is when you gain sexual attraction after knowing getting close enough to someone emotionally. Asexuality is a spectrum, so don't think that you have to fit it perfectly. Or it could just be a low libido your trying to push through.

Maybe ? I don’t really think I’m experienced enough to know what sexual attraction is. Sex is more of an emotional thing for me, without the emotion it means nothing.

It sounds like you just have a lot of anxiety around sex and that definitely affects sex drive and ability to enjoy it. Are you in therapy? In addition to erp it could be helpful talk to a therapist about the different anxieties like “am I doing it right?” “Am I enjoying it enough?” OCD sufferers are usually perfectionists and it sounds like that’s affecting your sex life.

Also all these anxieties are very normal! Not just for people with ocd.

I’m on the verge of tears, I feel like I’m never going to enjoy sex with him and have to leave him. I don’t want this

I don't even know if I should put this here, but I have the greatest girlfriend in the whole world, and I love her very much, but my thoughts keep saying I'm going to hurt her, so I can hurt God and idk what to do, I feel so disgusted and idk what to do, and the worst part is why does some part of me just not even care idk what to do anymore, it's almost like I'm turning into this horrible person and idk what to do, I'm really not sure what to do. I have really been able to be happy I just feel like I don't deserve it and I want to care about people and God and I want to be a good person, but a part of me shuts off my caring nature and idk what to do, I'm really freaking out because it's like IDC and idk what to do I just feel so nasty and scared because why don't I feel like I care. Why does it feel like it's something I wanna do idk, what to do I'm really freaking worried. Also I don't want OCD but a part of me says I need it or I like these thoughts and idk what to do, as im writing this i just feel like laughing and idk what to do, i really judt want jesus to hug me and say everything will be alright, i am such a monster....

I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

Idk what else to title this. I was watching a film cooper video cuz why not and he mentioned smthn about wall paper customization and icons and stuff and I just kinda had a groinal response followed by the memory of me having my first crush on a woman (my friend at the time) that helped me figure out that I’m bi and I felt kinda intensely for her but that’s cuz a) it was new and b) we were kinda on again off again friends who haven’t spoken in a few years now and I’m over her entirely. It was toxic I think. She was too much like the person who bullied me in elementary school (they were friends as well so my mom made me cut her off which is. Fair. Made me really sad but eh that’s life) I saw her at prom cuz someone brought her. It was nice to see her but yeah that was it. And now I’m mentally comparing what I felt for women in the past (idk intense crush, listening to a lot of gay songs (think she by dodie) dressing semi masc cuz funky, we had nicknames for each other despite not dating or anything) to men (less intense crush but still big crush, I’ve only dated and kissed men so sparks rhere) and now I’m just slightly nauseous and worried that I don’t like men as much as I like women but I think that’s normal for any bi person? To have different levels of attraction to different genders? Idk I feel gross and icky now like I shouldn’t even be thinking about it or her cuz I have a bf. And I do look fondly upon it, now I’m nervous cuz I got more excited about her calling me a specific nickname than I do from my bf calling me honey even at the beginning? Honey felt more traditional and I love it but we do switch around nicknames and it’s always nice, not many butterflies anymore, and sometimes I get anxious when he does lately, if it’s a nickname in Portuguese. Or if he called me a shortened version of my name. What does that mean? I’m nervous now. I was doing half decently today now I’m nauseous again. I’m worried that cuz I liked the nicknames she and I had that means I don’t like the ones my bf and I have and that I just don’t like him or men cuz I’ve been feeling off around him. But I love when he calls me honey, it still feels good when he does it now but no butterflies. Idk what’s wrong with me. Is it even ocd at this point. Even if I do like women slightly more it doesn’t erase that I love my bf. I’m worried I’m leaning too much towards women tho and I’m a lesbian. Idk if my bi cycle is cycling or if I’m just a lesbian entirely cuz I don’t feel much when my bf takes off his shirt, sex feels different, and things feel stale and slow. But maybe that’s cuz I’m checking and comparing. Now I’m anxious fuck. I’m trying not to think about her idk why. I’m worried I still find her attractive or am attracted to her or smthn. She’s in my city. I didn’t care before but now I do. Or if I think about her I’ll think about other women and will only want to have sec with women which not really tbh. I wanna be able to enjoy sec with my bf. It just hasn’t felt right lately cuz I’ve been so depressed and obsessive. I wasn’t obsessing much last night when we had sex but it still didn’t feel passionate. It didn’t feel uncomfortable but I thought it’d be more? Idk. I know it’s normal to not feel him inside me cuz the vagina isn’t very nerved up compared to the clitoris but it felt like more the motions. But tbh. I needed it. Idk I wanted to have sex and it was a nice stress relief. I just didn’t feel butterflies which kinda bummed me out but we’ve been having sex since august so that’s normal. Idk. I haven’t been able to fantasize about sex. The fact that I’m bi makes all of this so confusing. Cuz yes hypothetically I can enjoy the thought of sex with a woman. But I don’t want to rn cuz I’m dating a man. And I can’t fantasize about sex with him cuz I’m getting intrusive thoughts about my friends and I having sex. I have this urge to watch porn cuz it’s been a while but I’m not going to. I’ve cut down a lot on masturbation. Partially cuz this partially cuz I wanna do things with my bf (when I’m mentally ok) but jow my brain is saying “Oo you think all these women are so hot you’re gonna go feral blah blah blah” and yes women are hot but I don’t wanna have sex with a woman. Idk saying women are hot doesn’t bring me anxiety but the thought of sex with one or leaving my bf and saying I’m a lesbian bother me. Cuz I know it’s not true. I love him I know that. I’d be happy if we stayed together. I wouldn’t regret a thing honestly. I like having sex with him. Idc if it’s not like porn or the movies. As long as I’m being pleasured and he’s being pleasured we’re good. That’s what sex is about. I think the loss of butterflies is normal cuz the excitement of like (sorry tmi) fingering and oral eventually wears off right? But still feels good. I don’t feel as excited about intimacy anymore cuz we have done it so often but it still feels nice. But my brain perceives that as me not liking sex with men and therefore I’m gay. No I just don’t feel the need to jump his bones every single time I see him?? Idk the friend thing is bothering me. Idk if I feel any joy behind it. The groinal response really really throws my perception off
