    Do you already suffer from ocd in general outside of it or it's just this thought that is disturbing you?
    Because if you don't i guess it's just that you avoided PMO for so long that obviously once you find yourself thinking about that your mind reacts this way, cause it brings up memories from your past when you used to do it and enjoy it. I mean it's like avoiding let's say eating sugar for a period of time, once you start thinking about it again you start craving it.
    If you do instead well you know it's not really about the kind of thought you're having at the moment but it's more about the obsessive mechanism behind it, now you find yourself obsessing about this topic later on another one and so on...
    You just have to let it go until the discomfort goes away but get out of your house if you can cause the more you think about it the more it seems real so just involve yourself in something outside of your house and breathe.

    No problem it was generic, the mechanism behind it. It wasn't specifically about liking men!

    true ! would a subliminal help reveal my dopamine levels faster ? because subliminals DO work for me i’ve lost quite a bit of weight from using them .

    You mean something like listening to those "binaural beats" on yt, right? Well i tried it but i'm not sure they will raise your dopamine levels... but if it works for you then give it a try, it's not gonna work for everyone! There are some specific for OCD, i found them relaxing and can distract you cause you focus on the sound instead of your thoughts' flow.

    But things like rebooting, having a good sleep, eating well, exercising and spending more time being active on what you like to do and less on the internet definitely will help you!
