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.

Dose anyone else experience that your OCD calms down and goes to the back of your mind during- feels almost safe and unaware of it but as soon as it's over and youve calmed down all the intrusive thoughts come rushing back 10x worse? I've had really awful panic attacks because of it the past two nights and it's exhausting I haven't been with another person in over a year because of how bad it was after and not being able to explain it properly to partners "no I'm not crying because of you" "no you didn't do anything wrong" I feel insane- like I'll never be able to have a normal functioning sexual time alone or with others do to it the compulsions that come with it are exhausting it's like the need to cleanse myself of filth like I'm disgusting and horrible until there's no traces I did anything in the first place I'm just so tired dose anyone have any tips of how to work through this- or at least be able to enjoy myself without crying afterwords? I have no idea what subtype this would even entail? I'm going to go with contamination I guess ?

I’m really struggling with something related to me ocd, and I would appreciate kind and supportive advice. If you can’t relate or don’t think anything you have to say would be helpful, I kindly ask pls refrain from commenting this is a really sensitive topic for me. Recently, I’ve noticed a pattern that feels something extremely new and distressing. The first time it happened I remember telling myself before self pleasuring that I am in control no matter what thought comes into my mind because I wanted to prove to myself that these thoughts are just from OCD and I know who I am and an intrusive that came out of no where, and i suddenly felt an intense fear that I was acting on it. In the moment I genuinely felt like I did. And afterword, I panicked and started questioning myself. This SAME FEELING has happened three times in a row each time, the intrusive thought was unwanted and random, and completely against my morals most recently it involved pocd and it feels even worse because it generally felt like I acted on it the thought in the moment while I was self pleasuring the panic doesn’t hit until afterwards when I stop :/ I start thinking that maybe I generally made a mistake and I’m now just realizing that it’s wrong because it generally feels like that :( but when I actually think about it again goes against my morals and values doesn’t make sense it feels incredibly real, and I can’t seem to shake this feeling off that I may have acted on it I’m terrified because I never wanted these thoughts in the first place. And I definitely didn’t choose them. If I had known, I would’ve had these intrusive thoughts I wouldn’t have self pleasured in the first place but it’s extremely hard to convince myself that this may be OCD because I feel like I have no other reason to believe that I didn’t act on it :/

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
