Okay but I am guessing the thoughts and images of OCD tells you are a lesbian. What images and thoughts do you get if you donāt mind me asking

I don't mind at all I appreciate you chatting back and fourth with me. OCD brings this fear of constant denial and like I've never knew my true sexuality. Even though I am experienced with men both romantically and sexually and enjoy it. I guess it's the fear that I can find someone else attractive without romantic/sexual feelings? And it's confusing to me

@ocd_sufferer8 An example if this isn't making sense is like Megan Fox, I think she's absolutely gorgeous but any sexual or romantic thoughts don't come to mind when i see a pretty girl. Its just the fear that I thought she was pretty

@ocd_sufferer8 You see I get graphic gay imagery of kissing men and itās every man I see. I once had thoughts about kissing my dad and my brother.

@Anonymous That's actually such a normal symptom of sexual orientation ocd so don't feel bad with yourself. OCD like to bring most uncomfortable thoughts

Yes I know what you mean I have been diagnosed with severe OCD and told I am not gay and itās just ocd by over 8 professionals. This has broken my 10 year relationship up with my girlfriend and caused me huge depression

For me anxiety related to sexual orientation is like a barrier of my life almost like a sense of identity that I lost. I've woke up everyday for nearly 2 years not knowing anything about myself. In the beginning I was a lot more fearful an depressed but now I'm used to the depression that this brings. I tried ERP therapy but I over did it an triggered more anxiety. I feel like I'm living in constant denial to myself and family

Oddly enough, I got triggered yesterday because I learned how to whistle. An now I'm fearful that I'll do the cat calling whistle an that will make me gay. Crazy odd weird thoughts.

Are you a female isnāt watching lesbian porn a sign you might be a lesbian if you enjoy. So confused and sorry if causes a trigger but if youāre addicted to it and like it doesnāt that mean you like it and want. Hope this doesnāt upset you just trying to make sense of it all.

I can watch all porn, but I prefer lesbian but I've never had sexual or romantic feelings towards a female

From a single comment from a women I was having a sexual relationship with when I was 18 she made a lie up that her ex husband left her for another man when in fact he left her for another women but I didnāt know that at the time. She then said I reminded her of her ex and I started thinking did she mean I was Gay and I couldnāt drop it. All she meant was my personality and humour reminded her of him. So do you believe OCD means this is not true

Yes I believe can target random emotions/anxiety. I'm so sorry you had to go through that. I had a friend (who identifies as a lesbian now) show me girl on girl porn as a child so I just thought it was normal an thats what led to porn addiction. I am 18 now an next month will be 2 years of these instrusive sexual orientation thoughts. I believe that me being 18 I would of had a crush on a female by now, but then there's the late bloomers an it makes me more fearful.

I was heavily involved into porn when I was younger but was always women. I use to buy magazines of women, have pictures of women on my wall. Sometimes I think back when I was playing football and thinking did I like certain boys when growing up. But remember chasing girls at school. Because I have thought about gay sex and images for so long I have lost all disgust from the thoughts and feel I should feel disgusted by gay sex. So does diagnosed with ocd mean this is not true as my therapist said I have ocd and I am not Gay.

Definitely sounds like ocd just taking over your life. I'm in the same boat. The thoughts don't bother me much anymore an I think that's what gives me anxiety now.

I am a girl's in my twenties. I got diagnosed with OCD last year. I have a boyfriend, sadly we're long distance right now. I've liked boys all my life. It's very difficult to sustain intimacy in a long distance relationship. Sometimes I have intimate calls with my boyfriend and it's nice. Other times, however, (and I am not proud of it) I do watch porn. I started watching porn when I was 16. I've tried to quit it many times but every couple of weeks I go back to it. And as everyone knows, one of the MANY problems with it is that your brain will always ask for more. More taboo things, more explicit things. I have a daddy kink. I've roleplayed with my boyfriend and watched porn of this kink. Now, the thing is that my brain keeps telling me that I won't orgasm unless I think of little girls being ab*sed. I've never looked for that on the internet, I never want to either. I am under EXTREME DISTRESS, because what my brain tells me feels SO REAL, and it's like my pleasure gets blocked and that contributes to me thinking my brain must be right. It wasn't like this before. I want to go back. I'm scared it will be like this forever now.

When I was single, I watched a lot of porn, specifically lesbian porn even though Iām straight. When I got into my current relationship I dwindled down and eventually stopped watching porn of any kind, around six or so months ago. I had a flare up recently that has caused me to question every part of myself including my sexuality and my identity, my relationship, and other things that are important and valued to me, and porn keeps popping up in all of these things. I feel like my porn usage was me cheating on my boyfriend, especially in the early parts of our relationship. I broke down to him last month about it and he said it was okay, that he forgives me, but Iām still hung up on it because I canāt shake the feeling that Iāve wronged him and that Iām a terrible person and that I need to leave him because of this. This is so excruciatingly painful. I donāt want to keep confessing over and over and over again, but I donāt want to be a dirty lying cheater, which I feel like I am.

Iāve been dealing with SOOCD for over a year now, and I have been having a very hard day today. I feel like I just need someone to talk too, my whole life Iāve always had girl crushes and always wanted to be romantic with women . Ever since I posted this picture on instagram and one person said I looked āzestyā in it , which is when I started obsessing about being gay . I feel like I put so much meaning to these thoughts where now Iām always checking how I feeling around men. I had a really bad porn addiction for a long time and bad anxiety which fucked up my sex drive. I feel like I doubt if Iām attracted to women when I know I am , but the doubt is so overbearing where I start to believe it . I never was interested in men sexually, and my ocd makes me feel like I like the thoughts even though I feel no pleasure out of it. I feel like I lost who I am as a person . It feels like I donāt even know what my sexuality is and itās really upsetting to me . I meant this girl the other day and she is the most beautiful woman Iāve ever met and I just feel like ocd is getting in the wayššš please any advice or comments
