Just remember that your end goal is not to remove the thoughts, but to be able to acknowledge that they are just thoughts and not be bothered by them - which incidentally does not mean becoming okay with the nature of the thoughts, eg, if you are scared you will murder someone, accepting the intrusive thought will NOT make you a murderer or make you okay with murder - it just means you aren’t attaching meaning or anxiety to your thoughts. Hope that made sense ?

Don’t listen to the above. You do get over HOCD, but it’s more about overcoming than “getting over”. For me I just let every thought go into my head as if they were normal thoughts. Like if I thought about my daily life. And if I’m anxious I try and go about my day or if I’m home I lie down and try and calm down or I just play fortnite or something or watch YouTube. So far I’ve gotten a lot of intense feelings of attraction for men that come in for awhile and then out again. But that in itself is progress and all I need.

Tons of people have gotten over it, and you can too. The best thing you can do right now is aggressively look for an ERP specialist

Question about HOCD
Sorry long post. Anyone feel like now they’re just in extreme denial. Like when I was little I noticed guys more than girls in movies and was more drawn to them. I remember changing my mindset to switch that. 98%of my life has been straight until recently. I felt drawn to some guys but never thought of it sexually. Always had girl crushes dreams and porn. Now I watch porn and I feel like straight takes longer and then I go and watch gay porn and feel nothing until I tell myself it’s two attractive dudes and love is love and imagine physical sensations and then it hits like suddenly. Like I have to convince myself it’s alright. Then when I try again I can do all that but feel nothing and then straight porn works. Idk if it’s just getting a fix or the first time works with anything or what but it’s confusing. On top of that I’ve felt girl relationships including my wife maybe miss something and a guy maybe matches that feeling that but then I feel like I’d be missing something without a girl or my wife. Idk I’ve had some rough times in life with male figures in my life but idk. I feel like I have to convince myself more and more that I’m straight even more than the first time I dealt with this. Can someone relate? Please

Will groinals go away with acceptance
I keep getting these groinal responses when I think about kids or see one and it's really distressing, I only just learned that OCD can make you feel that and it's not actually attraction but it's so hard to remember that and I've seen people talking about accepting uncertainty but I'm so scared to think "maybe it's attraction maybe it's not" instead of "no it's not attraction that's disgusting" and idk what to do
