    Im gonna be honest here, my source of my addiction is that I struggle with homosexual thoughts, and they are strongest at night when im about to sleep. To cope with this I watch porn so I can feel secure, but since I haven't been watching it the feeling comes full force and I lose control. Im honestly lost here as a kid I was straight but now im in a limbo where I just dont know anymore.
    Main reason I lost my streak is because I went on a ski trip with some friends and there was a girl that was interested in me while there. However the girl was literally terrified of me, I felt her energy whenever I was around her and talking to her was hard too. She's extremely shy and I guess im like too weird or just a freaky guy in general. I didnt really do anything to scare her, I wasn't being a perv or I wasn't trying to force conversations. I gave her space when it was necessary. Am I just so far gone that I just don't know whats wrong with me. My friends are starting to think im gay and people are saying so based on how I dress. Is it because of that, that I cant have a meaningful relationship with a girl? Im lost guys, I really am, Im really lost here. I keep telling my self that im not, and I tell myself that im not because I've always liked girls, not once in my life did I have a guy crush, not even now. But in the back of my mind theres this little voice that just makes it true. Im just lost guys, getting girls for the people I know is like going clothes shopping for them, it just comes so naturally and easy. For me though its a complete science.

    Find what makes you happiest. Its okay to be gay, straight, bi, or asexual as long as that makes you happy. You only have one life so enjoy it the best you can. Don't worry so much about what other people think and focus on being your authentic self.

    I don't know, I'm terrible at relationships but risk it bro. Just say you like her and see how she responds. Ask her on a date. And if she says she doesn't like you in that way you can move on, otherwise you've got a date and you can get to know her and get to know yourself better and see if you like being around her as a person.

    Just from my own personal experience. I asked a girl out two weeks ago and she shut me down hard. It felt like it grossed her out that I asked her. That definitely hurt but I'm glad I asked her. I can now stop wasting my time thinking about the potential of a relationship with her and driving myself crazy wondering if she would go out on a date with me. I tend to be really dumb and doing that. I hate that about myself but that's what I do.

    We all have thoughts we struggle with. There's lots of sexual thoughts I have that I don't want to be part of my real life. I wouldn't beat yourself up over them. They're just thoughts.

    I was told by my therapist that im a highly sensitive person, not as a diagnosis but as an observation as she is one her self. What you said about how I absorb things easier than others is exactly what she mentioned. On the girl thing though, I dont understand what you mean by a crazy connection but shes still weirded out by me? I guess since im pretty sensitive I was able to feel her energy strongly and how she maybe felt when she was around me. I wouldn't say she was weirded out by me, but she was definitely intimidated. She isn't very experienced and is also extremely shy and I felt like I was doing or saying something that made her practically run away from me. Although because of PMO I didn't really look at her as something to satisfy my sexual desires but more of someone who I can be with, so I really didn't do anything pervy or weird, even my friends told me that I was perfectly fine.

    Did you escalate into watching gay porn? If so you may be suffering from obsessive compulsion about being gay when in reality you are not. I’m sorry you lost your streak. 2 months is an incredible feat. You should be extremely proud of yourself. Jump back on the saddle.

    Yeah I never watched it only until I got into a porn comic phase where there was femboy porn comics with extremely curvy males. I started out watching straight porn and my HOCD started when I got high and saw a trans girl on a vice video and felt attracted to her. Then my whole world flipped on its head and 4 years later I still dont feel at piece. But at the bottom of my heart no matter how much I FEEL a certain way I know that all I really long for is a relationship with a girl, and the lack of love and compassion I feel is translated and substituted with my porn addiction, where because I lack someone in my life I feel like theres no other way. HOCD is a bitch and a half, I really cant express how much its dragged me down over the years. I never had a male crush in my life not even celebrities or what have you, I just get these intense groinal responses and it really makes me convinced sometimes. I just cant express how frustrating it is to really want a girl but get cock blocked by thoughts of homosexuality. Like " do I really like this girl? Or am I just trying to prove to myself something?" but I do damnit! I know I like girls! But for fucks sake it just scratches in the back of my mind like a little animal waiting for its moment to strike and it really makes things hard you know?
    I really dont know what can help me. The thoughts like come hardest whenever im most on edge, and it makes me feel a certain way in order to watch porn to relieve that anxiety. Maybe I should join a porn addiction recovery group so I can get the most amount of help for my situation because I can't really stop. I have a therapist that im gonna feel bad for telling how I lost my streak, but I think it'll be a good step for recovery. Honestly though my therapist doesn't really understand what im going through because I told her about my gay thoughts and emotions and she told me that im most likely in the closet. But I assured her that I never was gay in the first place and was always into girls growing up and even now with how much I struggle I still find the girls on the street extremely attractive but with a nagging little thought that takes over.
    I dont know how to express this to my therapist without her thinking that im just in the closet.

    2 things- you should definitely tell your therapist about your addiction and HOCD. You are not in the closet. Porn has completed hijacked your brain. Escalation makes people think they are into all kinds of crazy stuff they would never ever be into in real life. It’s just a weird thing that makes your brain produce more dopamine. Also I strongly suggest you join a recovery group. We have a terrific one here in Austin on Monday nights. It’s online so you can jump in from anywhere. If you shoot me a pm I can send you a link.
