I LIKE GUYS BUT I DON’T WANT TO BE GAY. HOW DO I STOP BEG GAY?

I like guys but I don’t want to be gay. How do I stop beg gay?

You don’t need to be certa you are gay before talkg to someone or attendg an LGBTQ+ meetg. I am a gay male.

I have been out nearly 7 years now (age 16, sophomore year of HS).

YOU’RE NOT GAY: HOMOSEXUALY ANXIETY OCD

That week I told my iends and fay I was gay. It is very homogeneo/ hetero-normative and beg a tholic stutn is not the easit environment for queer stunts.

Am I Gay? My name is Mark, and I am a gay male wh obssive-pulsive disorr (OCD).

I am wrg for the benef of heterosexual folks who hope to e this article to unrstand their fears about beg gay (also known as gay OCD or HOCD). What is Homosexual OCD? Searchg unr OCD and gay, I disvered the old BraPhysics discsn board and cid to post.

HOW TO KNOW IF YOU ARE GAY

I thought I was jog a board full of gay people wh OCD. Only ten mut after I had started readg the most recent posts, however, I realized that somethg was wrong: The folks wh gay fears were clearly not gay.

It took another five mut for me to figure out what HOCD was and why so many people had gay obssns. I would later learn that tly gay people may also get HOCD, but that they falsely fear that they are heterosexual.

HOCD is an illns, and who but a gay HOCD sufferer would fear beg straight, the thg society priz? Jt as HOCD obssg over beg straight = gay realy, HOCD obssg over beg gay = straight realy. Straight folks wh HOCD know ep down that they are not gay.

I’M 43 – BUT I’M MA TO FEEL LIKE A DOSR BY YOUNGER GAY MEN

In that time, I have helped other tly gay people e out of the closet. If I thought for a mute that even one of the straight HOCD sufferers on the board was gay, I would do the same for him or her.

AM I GAY?

As of this wrg I have been bombard by threads, private msag, e-mail, and stant msag by straight folks terrified that they are gay (and a very small number of gay and bisexual folks terrified that they, too, are not their real sexual orientatn). Neverthels, is sufficiently wispread to warrant more specialists the field, more media exposure, and more unrstandg among therapists relativ, iends, and, pecially, gay people who give the wrong advice. But Why Fear Beg Gay?

HOCD works the same way: Heterosexual sufferers feel that the gay thoughts are real even though, their hearts, they know that they are straight. Straight vers Gay.

IM NOT GAY

Before such treatment, HOCD (homosexualy anxiety ed by OCD) is all terror and rant.

The send will be by an gay male who is the closet but has no HOCD. STRAIGHT MALE HOCD SUFFERER: I know that I am gay, but I have only ever gotten hard wh girls. Damn, gay stuff is so disgtg!

Wh once I e out bee I am gay. But I’m not gay!

J. PEE - I'M NOT GAY LYRICS

I do all this checkg by lookg at gay porn, and I still don’t know what I am.

I have never been attracted to guys, but I know I am a gay guy.

I n’t even hear the word gay whout beg anx.

HOW DO I KNOW I’M NOT REALLY GAY/STRAIGHT?

GAY MALE IN THE CLOSET WITH NO HOCD: I know that I am gay, and I have only ever gotten hard wh guys.

I was tght that gay stuff was disgtg, but when I thk of beg held by a man I get butterfli my stomach. The only anxiety I feel is over what others thk of gays and how I thk I’ll be treated by straight people power if they fd out about me. I don’t feel any anxiety when I thk about how lucky gay guys who are out of the closet mt be, and I wish I uld be like them.
