Exactly why I haven’t masturbated in days

Exactly right! But don’t stop doing it. I’ve had several people on here advise me to stay active in your sexuality or else you’ll stop being sexual entirely, and THAT is hard to reverse.

I think if you masturbate frequently that can lower sexual drive. That happens for me at least. And since I get intrusive thoughts while masturbating, when I’m done doing it the thoughts come in 100 times tougher. So idk about masturbation really.

You actually have a higher sex drive if you masturbate frequently because your hormones build to a certain level, especially for guys due to testosterone.

I understand, I just think breaks are a must. My thoughts want to pop up during, especially after

I used to have (still do) intrusive thoughts about my partner sleeping with men after she cheated on me. I found it really upsetting and disturbing. But others are right - continue masturbating despite the thoughts, but as a way to show love for yourself rather than as a compulsion or you're bored or whatever. Focusing on the physical sensations rather than my thoughts has also been really helpful for me, as I found that I had way more intrusive thoughts when I was watching porn or something.

Your intrusive thoughts hit you harder because you’re pushing through them/exposing yourself to them and your brain doesn’t like you doing that. I’m dealing with it too.

I didn’t think about it that way. But then again I don’t get in the mood to masturbate as often as I used to before the intrusive thoughts made their way into my life.

I cries the last time I masturbated because I felt guilty about not having sex with my boyfriend AND POCD thoughts. It’s so annoying... but my boyfriend heard me crying and came in to be with me and then we masturbated together, so by the end it was fine.

Self pleasure and intrusive thoughts :/
I’m sharing this bc I need advice or even support from anyone who can relate. If you can’t relate and don’t think you’ll say anything helpful or kind pls don’t comment anything… I’ve been struggling with somethings that’s making me question myself. There has been moments while self pleasuring when I get intrusive thoughts, in those moments it feels like I’m enjoying or even self pleasuring myself bc of the thought. Right after I immediately have an anxiety attack and my HEART drops bc it feels terrible I feel like a disgusting monster :( ppl have told me I haven’t done a bad bc of how intense my guilt and panic are but I keep thinking that MAYBE I made a horrible decision in the moment and the guilt is just realising that it’s just wrong this doesn’t make sense to me because I’ve always told myself that I would never act on this in 1 million years and I’ve been known that these things are wrong so I’m just like constantly questioning myself these feelings and exact same situation has happened two times already I even promised myself that I wouldn’t act on anything beforehand and yeah, I still felt like I did act on my thought during my alone time I’m genuinely convinced that I’m a horrible and it’s even got into the point where I don’t wanna be here anymore and I don’t even think this is my OCD :( tbh

Intrusive thoughts
I struggle so bad with intrusive thoughts. They can be so bad that I'll cry because I KNOW that's not how I feel or want to do. (Too embarrassed to say what they're about) I'll constantly try to figure out why I have them, and constantly figure out what they mean, causing me to constantly circle around and around. I had to get on anxeity meds, which helped a little but the thoughts still happen. How do you help yourself with this? How do you know that you're just not some physcopath? 😅

Need a bit of advice!! 🎀
+18 only!! TW for sexual content!! (This might be TMI, but I need advice) So, this is kinda embarrassing, but I haven't been able to self-pleasure without feeling shame or guilt. It's so bad that I've just stopped altogether, but I don't want to avoid it. It was something I enjoyed and was comfortable with, and now, because of OCD, it just makes me feel... gross. It's a perfectly normal and healthy thing to do, but my mind just tries to convince me that it's wrong. Had anyone else dealt with this? It's not a huge issue, but I'm tired of unnecessary shame. :(
