HOCD caused by my ROCD? And HOCD caused by my lack of relationship experience?

On this episode, I answer two questions that center around HOCD (Sexual Orientation OCD, i.e. SO-OCD), but ask different questions within these two themes. The first question (6:40) is about a woman suffering with ROCD about her boyfriend, but the ROCD is then compounded by obsessions about her sexuality and compulsions of avoidance and mental checking. The second question (23:27) is about a young man’s doubt about his own sexuality and his obsession’s insistence that several awkward and odd situations are all the evidence he needs. Thank you all for joining me again for the FearCast. I’m experimenting with putting out more episodes but with fewer questions, so thank you all for your patience with this slight change in the show’s format.
