Are you imagining on purpose to see how you feel? Because that's a compulsion if so xx

@Lilyrosalynd You need to accept that as a possible outcome. But it's not helping you to do compulsions

@Lilyrosalynd Even though it’s really hard, it’s best to not ask for reassurance. I have SO-OCD too, best thing to do for me is imagine the scenario without assigning meaning to it (exposure) or just saying to yourself “maybe I’m gay, maybe I’m straight, who really knows? It’s not a big deal right now”

@Lilyrosalynd I don’t know if you are or not. No one on this app does. I think you should seek out therapy. Make a call with NOCD. See if you can book some sessions. The amount of posts you’ve made about this topic in the last 24 hours is not normal behavior. NOCD therapy starts with a diagnostic session to determine if you have OCD, so you don’t need to know if you have it to start.

@Lilyrosalynd No. Like I said before, even if you have OCD, it doesn’t mean you aren’t gay.

@CaptainKierkegaard But that’s not to say that I think you are gay. I don’t know and it’s not for me to decide. I’m just saying your behavior right now is obsessive and you need to deal with that before trying to determine your sexual orientation.

Hey yall, having a tough time. I’ve been struggling with intrusive thoughts while I self pleasure and it GENUIENLY feels like I enjoy them for whatever reason. And then now about half an hour later it’s like okay it’s a sexual thought but I might not actually like it. Idk I just really hate myself, because I basically genuinely liked it in the moment

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?
