Jack Drescher, a noted New York City psychiatrist who is considered an expert in gay and lesbian mental health and treats patients for OCD, agreed that "being worried that one might be gay is not the same thing as being gay." Therapists can jump to a quick, but erroneous, conclusion that a patient is seeking a way out of the closet and help him "get out there and try it out."ĭr. "If you contact a general therapist and tell them about something like this – or a person who is afraid they are swearing at God, they would say, 'That sounds weird.' But we specialists see it all the time."īrodsky argues that today's open acceptance of homosexuality and gay lifestyles can blind therapists to this kind of anxiety disorder in straight men. He said the obsession is "absolutely common in the OCD world." "I say, oh, that's interesting, how do you feel about being gay and what can we do about that?' Occasionally, a person learns they are gay. Szymanski said that in 90 percent of the cases he has treated, the patient is clearly straight. What does that mean?' They get lost in the need to know – the need to be sure." For example, they might think, 'Wait a minute I spent too much time looking at that guy in the locker room. Even though they know that they are 100 percent straight, not gay, they second guess it.

"I have treated this many times," he said. This type of OCD falls under the category of sexual obsessions, according to Jeff Szymanski, a clinical psychologist and executive director of the International OCD Foundation. "I treat them like any client looking for help, and derive great enjoyment in working with them and all my clients."īut, he says health professionals need a better understanding of OCD so patients receive proper treatment for a mental obsession, rather than counseling for a sexual orientation crisis that he says has nothing to do with mental illness. "I have many gay clients and phobia is my business," he said. This patient was straight, according to Brodsky, but he had intrusive thoughts that were not based on any hard reality in his behavior.īrodsky said a previous therapist had misdiagnosed his patient as gay, and at the patient's request, sent him off to reparative therapy, a controversial method that has not been proven to be effective and can be harmful. "He had some sort of feeling that he was attracted to other guys." His faux-counselor "we're here to mend hearts" schtick is even more retarded than Jerry Springer's Final Thought, but for some reason I find myself watching and enjoying it way too much."He had a classic case," said Brodsky. I think he secretly loves the whole ambush, he's way too into it. I love the looks on the non-diva gay guys, like "please get me outta here" I haven't watched MTV regularly since I was about 14, but I'm addicted to this stupid show.Ĭheaters is another guilty pleasure I sometimes catch in the wee hours on weekends. All he needed was a mini top hat and he'd be one of the finger-snapping "Men on Film" from In Living Color. Especially the one who was wearing about 20 plastic bracelets on each arm, one for each guy he'd slept with. And some of the flamboyant prancing queens in the gay episodes are so stereotypical it's hilarious. (We already had a thread on her.) One episode's "date" had the girl making two of the guys give to a sperm bank to check the health of their little guys.

She goes "who gives a shit.i can't even tell the difference" or something like that and stomps off And then there was the girl who pissed herself. Many memorable ones.the soldier who quizzed one girl on whether he was a Republican or Democrat and dumped her when she guessed wrong. I love when people who think they're hot shit get nexted as soon as they step off the bus. It's like Blind Date with 5 choices and easy money involved. It's obvious some of the lines are scripted, like their intros and after someone gets "nexted", but the actual interaction on the date seems real.anyway the whole thing is one awkward superficial freak show. I admit to watching late night rerun marathons of Next on MTV.
