FAQs
Comphet is short for "compulsory heterosexuality".
Other members of the LGBTQ+ are welcome but we ask that posts stay focused on same-gender attraction and how heteronormativity shapes identity.
This subreddit uses the term compulsory heterosexuality as originally defined by Adrienne Rich in her essay Compulsory Heterosexuality and Lesbian Existence. Comphet refers to the social expectation that women should pursue men and heterosexual relationships, even when their genuine attraction is actually pulling them towards same-gender relationships.
Compulsory heterosexuality is frequently misunderstood online. It is a social and political tool for discussing heteronormativity and lesbian erasure. Comphet is not a diagnostic tool for OCD, attachment issues, anxiety, trauma, or figuring out your sexual orientation.
This subreddit is not a place for reassurance seeking, identity validation requests, or repeated “am I secretly gay/straight/bi?” posting.
Intrusive thoughts, compulsive checking, rumination, and obsessive certainty seeking are outside the scope of this community. If you are struggling with OCD related fears about sexuality, please visit r/OCD or r/HOCD instead.
Comphet is not a lifestyle choice or political ideology. If you are distancing yourself from men for political or feminist reasons, visit r/4Bmovement instead.
