I think because your senses are heightened by your anxiety

I don’t think so I get so aroused and not by women only men

Also because when you think about women you’re desperate for any attraction at all and trying to force it, instead of letting it come naturally without overthinking everything. With men you are really anxious about liking them and so you read the panic as arousal.

Actually not to reassure you but yes it can. The system that controls anxiety is the same one that controls arousal. It is very difficult to truly tell the difference when you’re having an episode. For that reason it could be true attraction or maybe not. You just gotta accept the uncertainty.

I can't look at 18+ videos, comics, etc. I am straight, but SO-OCD tries to make me think I am not And the thoughts turns to feelings, and makes me scared, uncomfortable, sad, because I know this is not me. And when I try to imagine myself being with the woman on adult videos, and comics, my OCD gives gronal response not at the girl, and it fills me with fear, and anxiety, I always loved, and was attracted to women but I can't and it caused me to be depressed, and I keep ruminating I keep trying to focus on her, but it's so bad that I avoid those all the time now. I am wondering has anyone gone through something like this, or currently is, and wondering how you have done to combat this!
