I have these fears to. I’ve watched lesbian porn in the night and not even think about it through the day. No porn/masturbation since September for me

Same here, I did this in elementary school because I was exploring but I stopped after two months because I realized I didn’t like it. But I was aroused but I never thought about it and it never made me doubt I was heterosexual

I'm in the exact same situation. It's so scary, because I'd never engage in an actual relationship with a woman. It's just not who I am. But I did watch it, and it never worried me or made me doubt about my desires in regard to men. Since I started having hocd (in January), this made me paranoid about this. And I even read about a woman who had hocd, and she recovered from it and continued to identify as heterosexual but says securely that she finds women beautiful too, but that doesn't change the fact that she's heterosexual. This gave me such a relief at the time, but now I started worrying again about the same thing. It was like that for her, but what about it Isn't for me? This doubting is making me go insane. Besides, I'm getting to know a guy, and he's so sweet, I'm starting to like him a lot, but I'm so afraid that this mess that I am now is going to push him away. I can't stand this anymore.

Let the thoughts be! They are just thoughts. You have the choice to be whoever you want to be and with whoever you want to be with. You have a choice. Don't let OCD think you don't. It's ok to feel attraction towards both sexes - that doesn't mean you want to be in a relationship with someone because you're attracted to them. Falling in love isn't just about attraction, it's about emotional connection. So regardless of the sex you prefer, get to know someone with no judgement and then decide if they are for you because of who they are and what they bring to the relationship.

I need too know that I'm not insane, really. I am 16 and for the past two weeks, this has been completely ruining my health and happiness. I only recently came out as a lesbian like 3 months ago after a lot of confusion about my attraction since I used to think I liked men. At first, I felt so sure that I liked women, but lately, I've been having these unwanted thoughts about the possibility of liking men. I never used to feel this way, but now, every time I look at a man, my brain obsessively fixates on it. It forces me to imagine kissing him, loving him, things I don’t want, and then tries to convince me that I do. It’s painful. The thought of this fills me with fear and anxiety, leading to panic attacks and breakdowns. I don’t want these thoughts. I hate them with every fiber of my being, but I’m terrified that one day I’ll act on them and somehow like it. I used to think I liked men, but back then, I was in a very unhealthy space in a time of escapism and something deeply parasocial. I’ve only ever liked the attention and validation a man could give me, but these experiences are somehow treated as further proof that I’m "bisexual." I’ve never been in a real relationship with anyone, which makes my brain constantly challenge me—telling me, “You don’t even know what love feels like.” It won’t shut up. It keeps obsessively trying to make me prove that I’m a lesbian, testing my reactions and questioning my certainty. Is this normal?

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
