Yeah I feel like I’m forcing myself sometimes to be attracted. But then sometimes it’s effortless and I’ve been head over heels in love with the opposite sex. So I started figuring I’m in on the bisexual spectrum. It helps keep the anxiety away

I rekon I am probably bisexual. But that still doesn’t agree much with my OCD. I had had some sexual trauma when I first started having sex which made me do a lot of checking with other sexual partners. This obviously didn’t help with attraction. Something I’ve found through ocd is the need to just let yourself be present. And actually in doing this I have found sex a lot more pleasurable.

@BradOCD Yes same here!!! I find that I have a high standard of what I should be thinking… just let your mind flow and then you realize you’re enjoying sex with your partner

Yep! Like if I do it either turns into a man and I have to stop thinking. Or it just doesn’t feel right anymore

Me either, but saying that in my head relieves anxiety. I really don’t tell anyone I’m bi, only my husband. And he insists that I’m probably straight lol. Think of it this way. We have OCD. Some people with OCD have contamination fears. They are CONVINCED they have germs on their hands, so they wash their hands over and over. If they had a microscope they’d probably check their skin obsessively. We’re CONVINCED we’re gay, even if we check a million times. We will never know 100%. So just roll with it and say whatever I guess I’m bi

Hey guys so I have been suffering with sexual ocd due to the fact that I don’t feel that romantic spark with him anymore, I love him and I know I do but I get to much in my thoughts thinking about why can’t I feel that anymore what has changed what if I don’t wanna be with anymore I’ve been with him for 4 years and at first I think it was ROCD but now I started thinking what if I’m into girls now I’ve always been the type to say oh a girl is so pretty or I like this about her but now I feel like every time I see a girl I’m like do I see myself in a relationship with her oh she’s pretty oh I like her voice do I find it attractive and sometimes I do !!! Which is killing me I feel disgust thinking about because what if I secretly am no shame to people who are my sister herself is but I just feel wierd because I wanna be with my husband and feel happy there not with a girl and feel like a man because I see myself in the mirrior and I’m like do I myself being a man do I look lesbian? Do I act lesbian or bi? What if secretly I wanna be a man or I imagine myself being a man in a relationship with a pretty girl and idk what to think

What’s everyone’s experience with loss of attraction to their preferred gender? (Not looking for reassurance, and I know people say stop trying to get it back) When I see a good looking woman, I feel sad that I can’t get feelings like I use too. Like the very bottom of my stomach feels heavy like it’s depressed… I know I want to be attracted to woman but this SOOCD and false attraction is destroying me.

I feel that I’ve come on extremely well. I still can’t accept uncertainty. My attraction to the opposite gender (females) comes back but doesn’t last how it used to too. I feel that excitement, thoughts like “she’s well fit” then a horrible depressed feeling and those voices saying “but you don’t like females anymore…” The false attraction towards same gender (male) isn’t as bad as it was. It used to be every single male, old young, big, small, even voices, cartoons and so on. Now it’s a quick spike when I see a male followed by disgusted, I still pull a horrible face and I shake depending on how bad the thoughts/ feelings. This HOCD/SOOCD happened 14 years ago but not as severe as this time round. Then just went for 14 years. Has anyone been through the same and got through it??
