I am a straight male, and I am not diagnosed with OCD (am wanting to get evaluated soon), but I dealt with lots of insecurity about my sexuality and unwanted thoughts about having sex with men and being a girl among other things. I didn’t have a girlfriend until I was 24. I at least can commiserate with some of what you’re feeling.

Okay did you ever feel lost or different than others? I compare myself a lot with other friends my age that has tons of experience, and it fuels my anxiety on being gay.

@🥰 I definitely felt lost and different and so so many other negative feelings. On the other hand, there’s something meaningful it adds to the relationship, even if I have some anxieties tied to it being my first too.

Yes and I was really attracted to him. Like I was horny every time I saw him. But I find every man attractive so that was hard then I realized that I was able to see that a woman was attractive but I didn’t want to do anything with it.

Thank you for answering. Maybe I am reassurance seeking but at the same time it’s very nice to know that I am not alone with being inexperienced. I feel so alone

I had a short term relationship in HS - nothing serious: now 24 and haven’t experience a real relationship / done anything sexual - definitely plays a huge role in my HOCD

Okay thank you so much for your honesty! It helps a lot. The reason I got HOCD was because of inexperience and the feeling that something has to be wrong with me because I never want a close relationship or being intimate. I am actually very scared of it.

Determining sexuality with SOOCD
Anyone who has had sexual orientation OCD since the “dating age” (middle school/high school)— how did you ever determine your sexuality? I don’t want reassurance because I understand our experiences may be different. I’m just curious— did you try boys and girls? Did you just find your person and know? I started having SOOCD at age 16 and I’m now 28. OCD has ruined my ability to date more than anything else. I feel like it stole my chance at love. I’ve had three long-term situationships with men. I adored them but they were also toxic because I think I subconsciously didn’t believe I deserved better. I felt that if I knew the relationship wouldn’t work because of fundamental differences, at least it was okay that I couldn’t fully be present in the relationship. Not sure if this makes sense, but I’m just grieving that part of my life I missed out on.

Looking for HOCD / SO OCD advice
Hi all, I deal with HOCD and been seeing a therapist for about 3.5 months. It has definitely got better but still affects me very much. Was wondering there is anyone out there who has dealt with HOCD as well and has recovered. I would love to message or even chat just see how your experience was and hear what was beneficial to you.
