Stop looking it up then. Porn is designed to be enticing. To be addictive. It won’t make the ocd any better. Worse in fact. So what, men are attractive. All men notice attractive men. I don’t care if they say they don’t. They do. They just don’t remember it because it’s no big deal to them. Hocd says holy crap. You just saw that attractive guy. Anyways. Stop looking at men do things. It will make it all worse.

I think sitting with uncomfortable thoughts and uncertainty is what is helpful in these situations, which is very hard to do Sending support to you, this is a difficult journey

So I did ERP with a professional for sexually intrusive thoughts were I was to view still images of pornography to intentionally make me uncomfortable and directly expose myself to the trigger. You should talk to a specialist and work through ERP with a professional. They’ll probably have you do this, and you’ll quickly learn that OCD is making you feel/think this way. I would never have been able to do this on my own. With professional help through NOCD, this problem might actually become something you don’t even think about later, or you might even laugh at the fact that you once had the fear. If you have the means, talk to a counselor, be open and honest and get your life back. Hope this helps. God Bless.

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?

Help
I deal pretty heavily with this. The last couple days, I’ve had what I think are urges. Something pops into my head intrusively and then what stems from that is me WANTING to just indulge in it even though it’s gross. I get worried bc I used to struggle w thoughts about my dad for a long time until eventually I just purposely thought of him while self pleasuring and got off to it. While that’s something I did, it is NOT me. It all stemmed from my mental health declining a couple years back, I was never this way before. So I get worried that it almost happened or might happen with my pocd cuz I could never live with myself if it did.
