There is absolutely nothing wrong with watching porn, as long as it doesnt lead to you creating unrealistic expectations for your wife. My boyfriend watches porn and it does not offend me at all. I know how you feel though. Last week, I confessed every little detail of my wild past to my boyfriend. Lets just say oversharing is not your friend, and what you do with your own privacy is only your business

Thank you for writing this. I struggle with similar things. Idk if you are religious, but a big part of many religions involves confessing to the lord in prayer. Try doing that and maybe that will help you feel better. But that may be a form of checking so maybe not. Just an idea. You got this

Ye, well OCD has a flavor of morallity + harm OCD. So it can be like fear iay cause have to a loved one by not being careful enough or by thinking that I'm a bad person. And when harm OCD comes in we get this agressive impulses. From my experience I believe that with harm obssesion you get agresdions and it causes us to think in black and white . So we get hooked on small things but maybe we need to look behind the scenes

When I was single, I watched a lot of porn, specifically lesbian porn even though I’m straight. When I got into my current relationship I dwindled down and eventually stopped watching porn of any kind, around six or so months ago. I had a flare up recently that has caused me to question every part of myself including my sexuality and my identity, my relationship, and other things that are important and valued to me, and porn keeps popping up in all of these things. I feel like my porn usage was me cheating on my boyfriend, especially in the early parts of our relationship. I broke down to him last month about it and he said it was okay, that he forgives me, but I’m still hung up on it because I can’t shake the feeling that I’ve wronged him and that I’m a terrible person and that I need to leave him because of this. This is so excruciatingly painful. I don’t want to keep confessing over and over and over again, but I don’t want to be a dirty lying cheater, which I feel like I am.

I can’t help but feel so anxious because of guilt. I feel guilty about not sharing everything about my OCD to my partner, but because I understand that confession itself is a compulsion and would not help anyone. I feel so anxious too that if all my fears come true and she finds out, then it would be so devastating for everyone especially her. Does anyone feel the same thing? How could I change my perspective on this?
