OCD, as we know, is largely about experiencing drastic and unrelenting doubt. It can cause you to doubt even the most basic things about yourself – even your sexual orientation. A 1998 learn published in the Journal of Sex Research start that among a collective of 171 college students, 84% reported the occurrence of sexual intrusive thoughts (Byers, et al. 1998). In order to contain doubts about one’s sexual identity, a sufferer want not ever have had a homo- or heterosexual experience, or any type of sexual experience at all. I have observed this symptom in fresh children, adolescents, and adults as well. Interestingly Swedo, et al., 1989, found that approximately 4% of children with OCD experience obsessions concerned with forbidden offensive or perverse sexual thoughts.
Although doubts about one’s control sexual identity might appear pretty straightforward as a symptom, there are actually a number of variations. The most obvious create is where a sufferer experiences the thought that they might be of a different sexual orientation than they formerly believed. If the su

I absolutely do think it possible for a gay gentleman to be attracted to a specific woman, but not women in general.
I am a heterosexual woman and have been with my husband for almost ten years. As newly weds, I quickly realized that my husband was gay. Initially I didn't mention anything, cause it didn't bother me, as we were very in love, glad and comfortable with one another. He was always effeminate and I felt that he could be himself with me and not hide his sexuality as he would in public. Then one day he came out and admitted to a male love he had in earlier years. He said he was tired of hiding who he really was. He didn't wish to be afraid anymore. He didn't want to be scared of being judged or losing friends. He just felt he wanted to be true to himself. He was so nervous . terrified that I would go away him for coming out. So I told him, that even if he were gay, even if we had come from different religious backgrounds, if he were black, white or yellow, or severly disfigured.... I loved him for his heart, his character, his kindness. We create a great team, we hold an excellent relationship, we

Got it, so it does sound appreciate a big part of this simply has to undertake with a certain type of guy (but not the only type of guy) you discover attractive.
When you want to be a guy in those moments, what is it, specifically, that you want? Is it to be fit to engage in certain things sexually? To have a certain role in a sexual dynamic? Something else? And when you state this happens when you see charming gay guys in your surroundings, are those guys who you know are gay, or who look a certain way?
With fetishizing or objectifying people, that depends on whether you glimpse these guys as individual, unique humans or more as a blank slate that you can project your desires onto. It's also sound to ponder about what's attracting you to them and how much of it might be based on stereotypes about that specific group (it might be the case that none of it is) rather than the realities of that individual person.
