    I want to start off by saying if anyone finds something triggering in this I'm sorry. At age 18, I woke up one day and had intrusive thoughts of men kissing me when watching porn. I stopped jerking off and somehow got to the conclusion that I was gay. After many hours of watching gay porn without an erection I was questioning my conclusion. I started researching my symptoms and realised I probably had HOCD (now diagnosed with OCD). Whilst also looking into this I took a look back at my memories and realised how weird my porn use has become. I stumbled upon porn at age 9. The worrying in my opinion started when around age 13 I was sexually aroused by the thought of being a female , it gave me a strong sense of arousal and at the time I thought nothing of it. I fantasised relentlessly until I stopped most likely cause I got bored of it. During this HOCD time, I was relentlessly checking my reaction to gay porn and realised I had no attraction to males however whenever Id watch female pov porn its as if something in my brain clicked and it knew there was a female doing these acts. It was initially linked to blowjobs but since then this has faded a bit , now I'm under the assumption my brain thinks kissing a man and being penetrated means that a woman is present and so responds by getting me erect. And yet again due to my anxiety, I cant stop checking whether the arousal has stopped. I know if I give my self time I will no longer go through this but it just actively stays in my brain annoying me. I've also noticed Ive got a reaction to transsexual porn. Note: I haven't orgasmed to any strange porn regardless of my reaction Im Just not comfortable with masturbating to them. It feels like I'm losing who I was, my brain makes me feel like I want to kiss a man and have sex with him only as a woman. If i think I'm a man I don't get the same kick out of it or if I notice the man too much I don't get a kick. Its more the fantasy of being a woman. I dont know where to go from this, Ive been trying to reboot for a year now longest streak 3 months(lost my arousal to female pov blowjob thoughts in this). I can only hope that I can stop my porn use I feel like it's genuinely the problem to everything right now; Ive been seeing posts like mine on lgbt forums and they all seem very positive but I'm sure this is not a positive thing to be thinking about. I believe my porn use is on a brink of a major escalation and I'd like to stop it before getting that far. Please someone give me help on how I can stop this.

    You have OCD combined with porn escalation leading to you developing H-OCD.

    Get off these forums and the internet. Do NOT search up similar questions like yours or ask any more questions. That's called ruminating and it is bad for your OCD.

    Talk to your therapist or psychologist about this.

    Leave everything which os sexual or reminds you of porn. All the triggers need to he stopped. You are not gay, you are suffering from HOCD which is also somewhat common effect of porn, as narrates by many others on these forums. Go for a detox,even leave this forum if you have to. Stay away from any sort of trigger, turn off social media completely for a while. It's now or never. Fill your free time with activities which would take up your whole day till you are ready to sleep
