Am I bisexual and have HOCD

I've been confused for half a year after I saw this guy I found was attractive only because of this fetish I have for the males body which might be a sexual obsession... But I thought that was as far as my attraction to guys was, since I don't think about other body types. Last summer I really obsessed over the fact if I was a homosexual or not. I mean I know I was aroused by women before and I knew I liked this fetish I have. I don't think about guys in an emotional way nor do I focus or fantasized about things like penises, ass, or genitals, only the body and the thought of being dominated, also I think the idea of me doing stuff (in the sense of being dominant) is completely disgusting and a turn off, I've thought of it before but its not arousing. Like I know I've had sexual feelings for girls before, its just that there not as strong as they used to be and I even though I've done it before recently my erections aren't as hard as they are for my fetish. But every since I think I've been suffering from this disorder I've been literally obsessed with the thought that I may actually be gay or something and I would constantly check myself like I did recently thinking of same sex outside of the fat fetish and I think I'd get like this groin response but not exactly an erection...I may have gotten it once but only because I was thinking of the fat fetish first...This mourning I actually watched the act to make sure if I was but I didn't have an erection...this is so messed up and I can't get over it. I don't feel as if I am actually gay but this HOCD is messing with my mind as if I actually think I do like these thoughts even though I'm afraid of them and I don't know what to do...

nside them.

I may also mention that I

I may also mention that I sometimes look at guys and think something complimenting their looks like their handsome or cute. I know they're OK looking but I'm not attracted to them at all.

Hi Fah, I'm not really sure I

Hi Fah,

I'm not really sure I quite followed everything. You have a fetish pertaining to something about male's bodies (or a certain type of male body or fat males - it was confusing?); but otherwise, you're sexually attracted to women. (At least I think that was the gist of what you were describing...)

I don't really have enough information to give you a strong opinion as to whether or not these are symptoms of HOCD or if you're bisexual (and I know that simply by saying that, it may make your anxiety worse, which is a catch22). I would probably lean more towards symptoms of HOCD.

If this is causing you significant distress, then I recommend (as I do to everyone) that you consider working with a therapist to sort through things.
