Hi everyone,
I've been pretty miserable lately & I need some advice! I have been suffering from OCD, panic disorder, and generalized anxiety disorder from a very young age. I have always had recurring obsessive thoughts that I cannot control, and recently one has come back. Lately I've been obsessing over whether or not I am a lesbian. I know that I am completely boy crazy, but have trouble getting aroused during a hook up. I only find myself getting aroused sometimes. It's like my mind and heart say YES but my body doesn't exactly follow. However, whenever I see lesbian porn (or heterosexual porn for that matter) I get aroused. Even when I see lesbians kissing in public that arouses me as well. However, I could never picture myself dating a girl, and the thought itself makes me very uncomfortable. I have always been obsessed with boys from a very young age, and feel no connection to girls whatsoever. My mind has been obsessing about all of this & it is driving me absolutely crazy, I feel like I don't know anything anymore. Please help

I do not have OCD and do not know the standard of care for OCD, but just arguing from first principles and applying general approaches, you need to think the thoughts and feel the feelings without trying to stop them, control them, change them, alter them, etc. Again, this is a general advice from a person who is not familiar with OCD. There might be a forum for OCD on this site, and you can repost there - you are allotted two duplicate posts on the site (i.e. you can open the same thread on two forums, but not more).
On a different note, it is nice to read that lesbians in Ohio feel comfortable kissing in public, because, you know, Ohio is not San Francisco. |

Like Hamster-Bamster, I don't really know about the OCD side of things, but being turned on by two women isn't unusual or weird or makes you lesbian or anything. My wife is very similar in that she gets really turned on when two women kiss or by watching lesbian porn, but would never be interested in trying it. So as far as that goes, enjoy it because that makes you who you are, don't worry about trying to fit a category.

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
