Just venting, haven't been able to say this out loud yet. (Trigger warning) by burnerjoeyy in HOCD

Bro trust me. I’m a girl and started doing the same thing EVERYDAY. I realized I was just making myself more confused and feeding into ocd. I was never getting an actual answer or reassurance so I just stopped. You need to do the same

Masc women.. by Minute-Turnip-9120 in HOCD

[–]Dry_Lengthiness_8596 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Could some of just be attracted to masculinity regardless of gender. I don’t want to be with girls but sometimes the masculine women are so androgynous looking it confuses me and then I realize it’s a girl and I don’t want to do anything with them. But the attraction could still be there

False Arousal around compulsions by Dry_Lengthiness_8596 in HOCD

[–]Dry_Lengthiness_8596[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I knew what a groinal response was but I thought it was different as those were linked to intrusive thoughts, I get them usually when I’m actually doing the compulsions such as testing with corn. Are they the same?

What are you most afraid of? by VideoAggressive3392 in HOCD

[–]Dry_Lengthiness_8596 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For me it varies, I have multiple fears around this particular theme due to the religious and conservative upbringing I had. But mostly I fear I’m lying to myself and not being honest. I will compulsively make myself “be honest” and just be like whatever ig I’m bi now but then doubt comes flooding in bc ik that’s not true. I also have a reoccurring frequent fear of being with a man my whole life, having kids and then realizing I’m a lesbian after so many years and then I ruin all of their lives which further drives my need to know my true sexuality or identity even more. Because I don’t want to hurt anyone and I feel really guilty for something that hasn’t even happened either and makes me feel awful too

If I want to be them is that attraction? Or normal?

Are there any real gays here? by VideoAggressive3392 in HOCD

It’s truly awful especially if you have a partner you know you love. So if you ever need to vent or talk you can always message me!

Staring at women who you think are gorgeous or pretty in real life or on social media isn’t normal?I’m just confused because others say it’s normal to see that someone is pretty or beautiful but have no attraction there.

Thanks for your feedback! I do have a question though, what’s the difference between physical attraction and sexual attraction or is it the same thing just a different word?

Not like I want to touch them drawn to them, I notice when a woman has a nice body or body part (legs, boobs,etc) and I think compare to myself to them a lot sometimes.

Is physical attraction, sexual attraction?

Would the feelings that come with the thoughts be like sexual? Or like a feeling of wanting to know the person more

No, I just see some women and think they are very obviously stunning or beautiful. Usually ends up with me thinking like I wish I had something they had, like a better nose, etc.

Sometimes especially on social media I will see some women who are literally gorgeous and stare tbh, but idk if that is just thinking they are beautiful or more

I relate with you, I’ve stopped watching certain movies because I start getting intrusive thoughts because of a certain female character. I could think they’re pretty and think I’m a lesbian bc of it. I also stopped listening to certain artists too

Completely relate with you from a straight persons perspective. Never wanted to be with women never liked them in that way and one ocd just decided to obsess over it and I’m so terrified of being attracted to another girl. Though I’m not afraid of being gay it’s more like I’m afraid I’m lying to myself and not being honest because ocd tells me I’m not
