Quick question, are you on SSRIs or another antidepressant? Those can sometimes affect libido (sex drive).

I ain’t a therapist, but you may just need some time to heal mentally. I used to have some themes around sex, that I eventually overcame, but it still took about a year after that to become comfortable with the idea of dating again. It was also just part of growing up for me too.

@lmaocd🍓🥰 Hmm yeah idk. I overcame my themes (the compulsions, and also did lots of new things so it would make me stop ruminating and take my mind off of it. From that point I didn’t care about my themes and my life was healthy, but I still needed time to get back to reality since my disease took me out of it. That’s just my experience though

i stopped reacting to my thoughts about liking a certain gender. when i would get those thoughts i would ignore them n move on. erp is exposure response therapy if u click on the app here it will explain it to u. it’s doing exercises like writing down “i am attracted to this person” then reading it over and over without doing compulsions or thinking it’s true until u don’t feel anxious.

Hi there! Thank you so much for reaching out on here. I am not an OCD expert, but I have experienced SOO CD as well. Definitely not fun, and I’m glad that you have it under control right now. Try not to put pressure on yourself to feel arousal at this time. Let yourself and your brain do its thing and process how it needs to. I can tell you for certain though, that you are definitely not broken. I’ve felt that before, but OCD does not make us a broken person. Keep up the hard work, you’re doing a great job!

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

Loss of attraction to opposite gender experiences
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.
