HOCD stands for Homosexual Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and is a term that is used to describe having unwanted intrusive thoughts in relation to your sexual preference. This is one of many topics of OCD. It is very different from thoughts about ‘coming out.’ HOCD is where you are heterosexual but are having obsessive thoughts that you are not.

I have what I hope to be Hocd for 20 years now!
But one thing really cracks me up:
I get thoughts/I think I can actually imagine being with a woman and like it in my imagination, even if I don’t want to like it, and can’t say for sure that I wouldn’t, that freaks me out! Am I just to weak to accept that I’m gay?
How do I know if I only obsess about having these thoughts (that I could like it) because I can’t accept my homosexual side? Or if i have hocd but am still bi?
Would love to get an answer!
