So i hate this, the confusion is less, my sexual drive is down although I feel turned on to certain things..its not the same...my emotions are so screwed up. My anxiety is gone which makes me believe I'm gay because I can't even get turned on to women...I need answers
Keep up with your therapy. I once thought I was gay during my whole experience with OCD and I was married at the time. Turns out...I'm not. Also, my sister who has OCD also thought she was gay at one point in her life and she isn't. It is a very, very common thought for someone with OCD. If you look on the forum, most of the posts are regarding HOCD.
Well he isn't I just feel like it. And before this whole ordeal I was never attracted to men. I always wanted women, in every way. And for the whole sexual relationship with a man..I just don't even know anymore cause it feels like I do with men but not with women like I used to. Before this I never once questioned being straight... Now this
You know...how we respond to somebody is rooted in our body chemistry and this in turn is rooted in our genes. As a heterosexual female, when I see a good looking guy, I notice him right away. My body is drawn to men. But when I see a good looking woman, I also notice them but in a different way. It is in a comparison way. I don't get the same "feelings" when I look at women that I do when I look at men. And no irrational thinking is going to change my body chemistry. Now if you take me and plop me down into OCD hell, then I'm not going to be able to react to anything. Food isn't going to taste good anymore. I'm not going to want to get out of bed.
So I guess my question is can you see yourself in a sexual relationship with a man? Have you ever been attracted to men BEFORE this whole OCD thing started? And what is leading your therapist to tell you that you are in denial in the first place?
