I'm gay and I also get this fake attraction to men so I can't really help you. just remember that your thoughts aren't real and can't decide who you really attracted to.

@Alice1837 I think what’s frustrating too is that attractions with your preferred arc aren’t as strong as the false attractions and that is what really gets me suck.

@anto007 Yeah I may have gotten a mild case of hocd when I was younger but I just thought I was questioning because I had no idea what hocd was. Now though I experience what you do but with female parts because I like men so my ocd is the opposite. It’s really hard to deal with because you feel like you want it. But I actually read something really helpful from an advocate from here, she had said that there is a term called arousal non concordance. Where your genitals may be aroused by mentally you are not and vice versa. Either way the best route to take is just to accept the the thoughts or feelings that come up and let them pass

@Legallyocd damn, i understand. yeah that’s what ive been trying to do but it is really hard when your mind uses those false attractions as proof that you are what you fear, i’ve been doing compulsions like crazy lately and my anxiety is at an all time high, this is really hard but i’ll try to resist de urge to do more compulsion and accept the uncertainty, hope you do well too.

@anto007 Thank you, I totally understand how you feel. I have been doing compulsions like crazy to but I actually attended a group session for sexual thoughts today and the therapist had told me to not beat myself up for it. I recommend the same to you, what we are going through is super difficult, so take it hour by hour. There’s still time for you to have a good day, and if not there’s always tomorrow too

@HSP Today was my first time attending one specifically for people with sexual intrusive thoughts and it was really great. You have a therapist that proctors the zoom meeting and everyone shares what they are going through and offers support. The session is free and it’s an hour long. It’s just nice to be around people that have the same theme as you that know what you’re going through.

Curious question about false attraction
Just curious, how does the false attraction feel to you? I believe people say they are different. I’m not reassuring, just interested in other peoples experiences. Mine feels like my chest is crushed with anxiety, when I notice a good looking male, it feels like I’ve just missed being hit in the car (that fear sensation). I feel sick after the thoughts. I also feel my face screw up which may be a compulsion which I’m trying to stop.

I’m overwhelmed, I can’t stand it.
I keep getting thoughts of this 6 year old kid n I don’t know what to do, they keep coming and they give me a sense of attraction, I don’t wanna be attracted to kids, it feels too real as well, I feel a need to check if I was attracted or not constantly, and it genuinely feels like attraction, please help me I don’t wanna be a pedo. Whenever I try to think abt something romantic or about someone my age I’m actually into, that kid keeps popping up.
