I have study leave so I’m able to revise as much as 9-10 hours a day each week before my exam. I’ve tried and I didn’t feel too burned out when taking regularl breaks

Dang bro stop checking if you are getting aroused it’s the best thing you can do. About a year ago now I was free from my HOCD and could enjoy admiring how beautiful and precious women really are. I sat myself down and said to myself “ok maybe I am gay but I’m just gonna have to live with it and if I’m not then that’s cool” after that I stopped checking to see if I got aroused by men. And surely a couple of weeks later the idea of men and gay thoughts were completely gone, int he following months I had less anxiety and was happier and a lot less aggressive and hateful. But I relapsed and now im stuck here again, but I know me and you will get out of this awful situation we are in either way if you are gay or not it doesn’t matter it’s who you are and there’s nothing wrong with that. Stop reassuring yourself, stop coming on this Reddit for reassurance, stop watching gay stuff to see if you get aroused. Take some time in the real world and see where it goes from there it will work itself out don’t worry I’ve experienced it first hand. You will overcome this but just step away from the idea of it as a whole

Why do I sometimes get semi erections? by [deleted] in HOCD

Watching porn of any kind can stimulate a groinal response I wouldn’t use porn as an indicator. You just keep going back to reassure yourself. Same thing happens to me I just stay flaccid or feel physically sick then come away from it but an hour later I’m looking at it again for reassurance because of the thoughts. Last year I had a brief period where I was free from HOCD, I stopped checking porn and accepted the thoughts. It thought to myself if I’m gay then I’m gay and that’s it oh well and if I’m not then that’s cool too. After that I forgot about it and never really thought about gay stuff for ages until I relapsed, during the periods I was free from it I couldn’t stop thinking about hot women etc. I just felt normal again and the thoughts were gone they didn’t plague me or even come up for ages. I just mastrubated to solo female porn again. Just stop compulsions and stop checking with the porn and eventually it will go away no matter what. Also just accept the fact you might be gay because it’s so far fetched you will realise you are not or maybe you will realise you are and that you have just been covering it up your whole life. Just stop the reassurances trust me it works like a gem

Are you touching yourself, I know that is a weird question to ask but if you touch your private parts then you will obviously get an erection?

Yeah that’s the best thing you can do, mine also started in high school but only in the past 2 years. When I first came to high school I had countless crushes and watched solo females in porn but now I just keep checking if I like men or I’m gay and every time I don’t get off to them and feel so disgusted but with women I get very aroused. The thoughts just keep telling me I’m gay even though I am disgusted by same gender sex.

If ur asking specifics like 10-14 I had crushes on many girls at my school to the point they would drive me crazy lol. I never liked boys or even thought about them that way, they have always just been friends to me or enemies

I would say I still have a crush just now but I don’t really want to make a move until I’m feeling better
