I wake up every morning with unease waiting for intrusive thoughts to appear. It's a dread I have

Really? I have always experienced groinals looking at same sex. Before I had servere sexual orientation ocd. I had pocd years back and got it with that theme. But now I'm scared as to why I got it with sexual material with same sex! Also I get it watching a crime drama programme. Like with madeleine mcann and when I was reading James bulger book

Yeah it usually happens because of the result of an intrusive thought or exposure to sexual material of any kind (ex: the description of a sexual crime) your brain just sees “sex” and sends it arrosual signals. It doesn’t mean you actually desire those things or feel a genuine attraction

I almost never get those thankfully but the few times I do they suck! I try to remind myself of how I’m feeling in that moment and I’m never feeling happy so I’m like “it’s just ocd”

groinal response is for sure normal even if you do not have OCD. i think the key when having groinal responses with OCD is to not answer to them. when they start happening, we often panic because OCD tricks us into thinking "do i like this thing" and we fall down the rabbit hole of compulsions. next time you get groinal responses, just accept that you're getting them. you don't need to figure out why you are. OCD will try to convince you there is a reason.

Yeah everyone ocd or not can experience groinals. Ocd just makes you obsess about it

But I would get it even if it was an unattractive woman or some grotesque woman. But I didn't have hocd then. And I get it more at women and if I wanted to get aroused by men I don't as quick

Is it different arousal?

Yes, I have groinal responses to everything. I’m a woman in a straight long term committed relationship and i experience groinal responses with women in media more than I do anything else. I experienced this before ocd, but not as intense as I do now.

Will groinals go away with acceptance
I keep getting these groinal responses when I think about kids or see one and it's really distressing, I only just learned that OCD can make you feel that and it's not actually attraction but it's so hard to remember that and I've seen people talking about accepting uncertainty but I'm so scared to think "maybe it's attraction maybe it's not" instead of "no it's not attraction that's disgusting" and idk what to do

Question
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. It’s not like one or two a day. Like if I’m out for the whole day they’re constant. I feel I can’t even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. It’s awful. It’s everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?

Tingling or arousal sensations?
Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?
