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.

Intrusive Thoughts During “Me-Time”
So I was enjoying some “me time” and had intrusive thoughts, but it felt like just for a second I liked it. Like I’m holding myself back from “enjoying” the thought. And the thoughts are related to things I was into when I was younger, but sometimes I feel like I might still like it even though 9/10 I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Is this common? Or is this just denial? Thanks

Intrusive thoughts while self pleasuring
Last night I was self pleasuring. I didn’t set out to think about anything weird but as I was doing it some pocd thoughts were in my brain. I did not get off to them, but I could have. Idk why that is but it is. Idk what to do and idk why I am this way. Is there some science about the brain while aroused or is it possible that the more gross or taboo something is I can like it?? Idk, just want to know if anyone can relate.

Intrusive thoughts (21+ please)
I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
