Homoerotic thoughts/Intrusive thoughts

Postby Cryptopsy » Wed Dec 04, 2013 7:12 am

Hey guys. I'm extremely worried about my sexuality because I've been having some homoerotic thoughts. For example, the thought of an erect penis or a man masturbating turns me on, yet as soon as I put a face to it I am turned off. I don't understand what is going on with me because this has only happened recently. I don't know if my OCD is giving me these intrusive thoughts or if I am actually bi curious, I watch porn so maybe the idea of a penis turns me on because I have one? I don't know what to do.

No-one's here in a professional capacity, so can't diagnose. And I'm not a psych or anything either. But I have read a tonne of stories like this in the obsessive-compulsive/ forum. Anything marked HOCD might ring bells for you. And if that is the case, then I'd recommend this thread- obsessive-compulsive/topic103176.html which goes through this kind of thinking in more detail.

In summary, though. Perhaps you are bi curious. So what. That doesn't mean you have to watch gay porn, think sexually about men, or ever have any physical contact with them. It doesn't change your sexuality. It's just a label. Intrusive thoughts are exactly that, intrusive. You don't need to listen to them OR argue with them. You can label them, too. "Oh look, I'm having that HomoErotic Fear Thought again. Hi HEFT. How're you. Pretty strong today. Fine, whatever. Nothing new here." It's OK to have those thoughts. Doesn't mean anything. You are far more than the sum of your thoughts.

 More than cleverness, we need kindness and gentleness.
