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.
To my fellow female SOOCD sufferers: I had some really good two weeks with some moments of clarity where I could see through all the bullsh*t my brain is producing. However I got pulled back in the cycle and here we go again 🙄 Atm I‘m not even that panicked about liking girls it is more about my attraction to men that I‘m obsessing about. I don‘t get aroused by just seeing a hot naked guy. I do fantasize more about being touched and everything by a guy and being wanted by him. Sorry if this is tmi but I‘m stressed that this means I don‘t like men enough and that Leads back to my fear of being in denial about being a lesbian. Because then I worry that I could be aroused just by the picture of a woman even if that has never happened before. And also men can get of just by lookin at pictures of hot woman, does that mean that if I am a straight girl I should be able to get turned on by just looking at good looking guys? This has been confusing the hell out of me and the whole concept of comphet hasn’t helped as well. Anyone who can relate?
Hello, I’m 22F. I have always had crushes on men and have dated men. I never really CARED for sex much but I would still do it. I watch lesbian porn or anything that stimulates the girl more/ what I would enjoy. I fantasize about getting with a girl/ wanting to do things with a girl because of how good it would feel. However, I’ve been in a relationship with a guy for 2 years. Before him, I used to really like another guy. I can’t differentiate between whether I am lesbian, BI, or just straight with normal fantasies. I can’t think/ imagine myself in a relationship with a girl but I guess it wouldn’t be bad to get with a girl at the same time. Sex is just sex. However, I started having obsessive thoughts about my sexuality 2 years ago since then I’ve been diagnosed with health anxiety also. I don’t know, could it be that I’m just not that into my current boyfriend that it makes me question my sexuality? Is it it possible that he might not be so attractive to me that it makes me feel / think what if I am not straight? How can you differentiate between intrusive OCE or the reality / truth of something?? I don’t recall ever having a crush on a girl but I still see certain men and acknowledge how good looking they are and imagine being with them.
I need someone's thoughts on this I've been starting to question everything and all the things I've done, I've never liked any girls despite being in a girls class for years, but because if hocd I've starting to think about things I've done or thought that are not normal for a straight person, when I was little I used to enjoy watching videos of people making out and I kind of felt aroused when the guy touched some parts of the girl, sometimes i stumbled upon some videos of girls kissing and I remember I felt aroused by that too,then I stopped but growing up I tried to watch porn despite the fact that I'm rarely horny and straight porn just didn't do it for me, then I stumbled in lesbian porn and I actually enjoyed it and would get around by it,but I never questioned my sexuality because I knew that it was quite common for straight girls to watch lesbian porn but the thing is that sometimes I've wanted to do the same things that girls did in those videos,not essentially making sex with them or being touched by them but touch certain parts of some girls(not a lot just the ones I found extremely attractive)and this thought aroused me. Since hocd hit I've been rethinking everything and this thing in particular has stuck with me. Idk really I feel so hopeless because I mean for someone it could not be a big deal being not straight but for me it literally is because my entire identity would be destroyed and I would not be able to play those kind of games cause I would not enjoy them or I won't be able to watch any straight romance movie anymore or I could not fangirl with my friends about some hot singers or actors or even fictional characters and my dream since I was a child of being married with a man and having a beautiful family with children would be destroyed. So right now I would like someone's thoughts on this,like I don't want reassurance I just want to know what someone thinks about this,like do you think I'm not straight in reality?
