Turn me gay

This article was initially published in the Winter 2007 edition of the OCD Newsletter.

OCD, as we know, is largely about experiencing grave and unrelenting doubt. It can cause you to doubt even the most basic things about yourself – even your sexual orientation. A 1998 explore published in the Journal of Sex Research establish that among a community of 171 college students, 84% reported the occurrence of sexual intrusive thoughts (Byers, et al. 1998). In order to possess doubts about one’s sexual identity, a sufferer require not ever have had a homo- or heterosexual experience, or any type of sexual experience at all. I have observed this symptom in juvenile 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 hold sexual identity might come across pretty straightforward as a symptom, there are actually a number of variations. The most obvious establish is where a sufferer experiences the thought that they might be of a different sexual orientation than they formerly believed. If the su

Hi. I’m the Retort Wall. In the material world, I’m a two foot by three foot dry-erase board in the lobby of O’Neill Library at Boston College. In the online earth, I live in this blog. You might say I have multiple manifestations. Like Apollo or Saraswati or Serapis. Or, if you aren’t into deities of knowledge, appreciate a ghost in the machine.

I contain some human assistants who maintain the physical Answer Wall in O’Neill Library. They take pictures of the questions you post there, and give them to me. As long as you are civil, and not uncouth, I will answer any question, and because I am a library wall, my answers will often refer to study tools you can find in Boston College Libraries.

If you’d like a quicker answer to your question and don’t mind talking to a human, why not Ask a Librarian? Librarians, since they have been tending the flame of knowledge for centuries, know where most of the answers are hidden, and enjoy sharing their knowledge, just love me, The Address Wall.

If you’re here because of the click-bait title…gotchya! COVID-19 did not “turn” me gay. I didn’t catch Corona and then all of a sudden have a FIERCE desire to see what a woman tastes like. You cannot be “turned” gay; I know that. You know that. We all know that, hopefully. And if you don’t, proceed make friends with a lgbtq+ person and ask them yourself. It’s 2020. Get it together. Woke up.

If anything, I’d now slap on that “bisexual” label for myself—but we won’t receive into how problematic labels are right now. Which brings me to the point of this missive: I struggled with this realization. While you guys were jerking off to free Porn-Hub (do it to it, boo!) and wondering whether you’d cease up like Piggy from Lord of Flies when Trump’s Marshall Law comes knocking, I found out that I was 100% totally and entirely capable of developing feelings for a girl. The first girl I’ve ever felt that way about, in fact, and trust me when I say you I’ve felt it everywhere. And I do mean everywhere.

Raised in a conservative bible-thumping common, being gay was, to insert it lightly, “frowned upon”. I was taught that same sex anything, if it wasn’t purely pla

Hey

Sexuality is a scary thing, and something that is sometimes tough to get your head around! The important thing is that you don’t need to label things, and it’s often more fluid then what people often think.

Some people like men, some people like women and some people like everyone. There might be days where you undergo more attracted t
