Hi guys romantic relationships were a big part of my desire with the opposite sex but since HOCD (I think) has perpetually added thoughts about the same sex I fear that if I get into a heterosexual relationship I might not feel right in it but before this I used to fantasise and deeply desire it. Since these thoughts have come into my head I have stopped fantasising and have lost complete interest and feel so low. Is this depression and HOCD? Is this normal?
Hi has anyone lost like interest in romantic r... - OCD Support

From the things you've said it could just be that at the moment your head is so crowded with unwanted and intrusive thoughts that leaves little room for the thoughts you want.
It could just be that you're exhausted with it all, I don't mean just physically but mentally and emotionally. That can put a damper on your libido.
Feeling low can also have the same effect. It's a bit of a vicious circle because your loss of libido makes you feel down, and that in turn makes you feel less inclined towards sex.
Also, if you've been struggling with unwanted thoughts about your sexuality, it could mean you've shut down your feelings about sex.
Give it a chance, and your feelings towards men should come back to you.
