    So after 15 days of dealing with symptoms of hocd as i said in my last post i was super sexual in my childhood so i could fuck everything backthen. Now the anxiety had gone since 2 days but the thoughts of being gay and having sex with a guy or date guy is still there but i cannot accept or even imagine about it properly i get fear and stress thinking about it. When i imagine myself with a girl its okay and i feel happy. And I'm worry about the anxiety. No anxiety is the sign of turning gay or something else really need an advice.

  4. Excellent! There's a strong chance your anxiety is dipping because you've stopped watching porn. This is not something to be worried about, but to celebrate! There are a lot more benefits that will come along automatically, without you having to do anything actively.

  6. This problem is deeper than who you're attracted to sexually. You're trying to force your overstimulated brain to calm down by stimulating it more, by asking it emotionally charged questions and demanding an answer straight away, and the mind doesn't work like that.

    The best thing you can do is go in-person to meditation classes and start talking to a good psychologist or trusted friend. Sitting inside your head with all this stuff is the problem.

    A good Buddhist image for this is a glass of water with mud in it. If you keep stirring the water, it'll stay muddy. You have to learn to let it settle for the water to clear, and this is a skill everybody has to learn.

    You'll be fine, man. You've made a good start by quitting porn. Now start taking steps to learn to handle your mind better.
