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.

Yeah I need to stop doing it.
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.
Me: rub rub rub rub rub..poke.. rub My brain: duck with a huge willy
I need your help I really need your help right now. I was masturbating because I wanted to make sure that I get turned on from my boyfriends image but there was always thoughts about children coming up, not even specific images but just the thought of the word. I immediately stopped and thought “No I don’t want to think of this” and after it was gone I kept imagining my boyfriend. Then another thought came up. I did the same as before. This happened a couple of times during masturbation but I always tried to focus on the thought of my boyfriend. Right now I am anxious and afraid because I didn’t stop masturbating completely. I feel like those thoughts could have influenced me during the masturbation
Hey , I feel like I’m alone with getting intrusive and unwanted thoughts during sex / mast3rbation and when I’m finishing and it makes me feel disgusted and that I’m a disgusting person and that I agree with the thoughts I get and I get really upset after and guilty and regret doing it Please can someone tell me if they experience things like this and if it’s not just me It’s something I’ve been really struggling with but I try not to let it get in the way of me having a sex life
From what I’ve seen from quite a few people on here and Reddit, dealing with intrusive thoughts during “private” time seems to be something i and many others sadly deal with. I’ve “sort of” gotten used to it but I wish I can enjoy myself sexually the way I used to before these thoughts took over my mind. It’s literally what started the POCD obsession for me in the first place, and why it’s so hard to believe it’s OCD when these thoughts are so prevalent when I’m engaging in something sexual. I always feel reluctant to actually do the deed sometimes cause of how present the thoughts are before I do it but I force myself to cause avoiding it isn’t gonna help. And honestly, I just want to get it over with before my sex drive and these thoughts clash and make it infinitely worse. I try my best to focus on what I know I want (gay porn) but it’s like windshield wipers during a storm. I see clearly for like 5 seconds then boom there’s something that shouldn’t be there and I have to stop. Over and over again. It’s even worse when I finish and it finds its way back on mind when it should be the last thing on it at such a moment. I can’t believe the one thing I used as a stress reliever is now something that cause me nothing but stress.
