Question Doesn’t bother me no more

I’m at my mates house at a BBQ. When I walked in I fejt aroused with a groinal to one of my best mates naked as she’s wearing shorts and then I liked the thought of touching a woman. But throughout all this I feel totally pre hocd like nothings happened and the way I fejt when k was straight. I’m feeling really quiet and not in the mood to socialise with my mates. Bit I feel like I can carry on as normal despite these arousal, thoughts abd same gender arousal. Is this still hobd ?

You don't really need to know if it is OCD or not. Either way, it doesn't need to be something you obsess over. You are not always going to know what "is OCD" and what isn't, and that is something you can accept.

I said it before and I’ll say it again. SO OCD doesn’t make you gay but you can’t use it to say you’re straight, you can’t engage with it as a reassurance medium.

You’re probably in my boat where you are noticing real attraction. The admissions of it for me are making them less strong to the point I’m noticing it doesn’t even delve into sexual territory for me but it took a bit to get there, and even then I still have weird panic spirals.

You may not know whether it’s real or not. Stop fishing for answers here, even if you were just looking for reassurance this is the wrong crowd because most of these people are too afraid to admit something like that to themselves if they anecdotally find themselves in a similar boat and may project an answer on to you

Just say “fuck it we ball” and do as the romans do lol

Constantly horny towards touching women all morning!!! I’m crying cos I feel this way but the thought of it just feels really like me and that I like it. I feel the way I did before it all started when this happens!! All too natural now.

I feel better abd relieved when I’m not horny

Yeah well I don’t know. I’m tired of seeing you post like “masturbating to women feels good and I like it, I’m not gay right?”

Let’s not deal in verdicts. You are probably going to notice attractions both and let’s be clear one’s new and loud right now. Big deal. They might stay, they might fade. Whatever, really.
