    I wonder if there are people have the same or had the same and overcame it. Since I'm struggling with HOCD. I got HOCD bcuz someone said I might be gay, I became so anxious. I watched gay porn after I got the HOCD to test myself. I had some much anxiety, hands sweating, disgust but I got aroused by it somehow it also gave me a dopamine rush. I had no sexual feelings at all with it.

    It is like the same anxiety when you imagine for example your little sister get raped by some men or a relative getting murdered and the same disgust when u watch an operation for example. Not that I want you to imagine it, but I hope get what I mean. Like even going to site itself or watching men kiss I feel so anxious and disgusted it somehow turns me on sometimes.

    But whenever I try to relax and just watch it how is and try to ignore the anxiety and disgust. Just trying to think it is normal. I actually dont get aroused at all...

    So am I the only one in this? Has porn fuked my brain so bad that I get aroused by the things I dislike the most?

    Note I quit porn like 6 days ago again completely. But ye failed a bit comparing the feeling I have for men and women kissing. I continue my reboot but this is really freaking me out.

  3. I think you're just feeling a Dopamine chemical rush in the brain. Any type of excitement can cause this rush, and it does not mean it defines your sexual preference. The longer you go without stimulating your brain on Porn, the more your mind will recover.
