pocd tw sometimes the shock and disgust of pocd triggers can feel like excitement and arousal! very distressing and hard to navigate.

it’s proven with studies that unwanted pocd can cause gronial response! it doesn’t have a deep meaning is what professionals say. usually the ocd sufferer will freak out when they have a gronial response which sends more blood flow to the place they do not want blood flow! they also *check* their genitals for a response which kind of automatically sends blood flow I think

try to avoid checking for a response! don’t beat yourself over something that’s against your morals yet automatic because of a damming ocd brain, trust me I wish I could just put my brain under cold water and scrub it clean.

@lettingifoff hahahah me too. it’s hard though because i don’t know for certain if it’s i’ve groinal response! it’s more like shock and weird gut feelings. i wish i could describe it better.
