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.

YOUR EXPERIENCE IN FALSE ATTRACTION
Can anyone give their experience on FALSE ATTRACTION? At this moment, mine has become worse. Soon as I see a male my anxiety shoots up, I can feel this in my chest and my OCD is telling me I’m attracted. But I continue to look back or stare and the disgust comes over me and my body shakes and I feel my face screw up. I can’t listen to music I use too or watch movies which was a favourite thing of mine to do. I just feel disgusted and not who I am when it happens. It’s like a different me. P.S. I had a very good week few days ago where I knew this wasn’t me and these feelings/ thoughts isn’t me.

hey guys, i am really struggling
hey guys, i am really really struggling and i feel like crying. evry day i get this feeling of sexual attraction to the same gender, and i get those feelings even just thinking about it now. i hste them and want them to go away but they simply won’t and it has me thinking that this is just how my life is gonna be like. when i was fully healed or atleast thought i was healed from the false attraction and soocd, i still sometimes got that attraction feeling, and i would force my body not to feel it. i hated it and was scared of liking it so i would like stop breathing and make it stop. it was only ever occasional but this is making me concerned now too, because i still sometimes felt that feeling when i was healed. now currently my main trigger is masculine girls, but when my soocd first started i had no false attraction or attraction like this towards girls, and it was all just in my mind like saying, “don’t look at that girl or you’re gay.” there was one point in my soocd where i was worried about being attracted to my friends, but i am greatful in the sense of i know that that is not true and my main issue is the false attraction watching videos and i have experienced it once in real life too and i hated it. please lmk what i should do or even if you can relate. i am sick of feeling th is way, and i am a christian too so this makes it harder. i’ve tried everything like accepting it, or trying to even say to myself yes u do like it but it always just leads to me being scared.
