I’d like that. It’s honestly hard to still accept that I have an addiction like it seems like I don’t but at the same time it’s like having sex isn’t quite enough sometimes. Is that relatable for you and if so how did you get over that?

You’re not alone. It’s actually common for people with OCD, especially having taboo obsessions, to feel guilty about them. You can always talk to your therapist about integrating sex into exposure work. It’s also really common for people with OCD to have intrusive thoughts during sex which is the worst cause it totally ruins sex. Stay strong, you got this! ❤️

That's a big mood. It took me years to build a mental fortitude to deal with my intrusive thoughts. I would use mental imagery or symbolism to get rid of them like imagining the thoughts I didn't want as a Polaroid picture on a tree stump in a peaceful park and then using a chainsaw or flame thrower to destroy them lol. I know it probably feels like those thoughts are there because what If you secretly want them, but I promise you that's not how ocd works. Ocd makes you hyper focus on the things you literally don't want to think about. It's a real mind fuck. Porn can be great as long as it gives you a sense of comfort and joy and isn't ruining your life or getting in the way. I personally love anime tiddy and it relaxes me to look at and enjoy, but when my OCD latched onto it and had me dead ass browsing Twitter all day every day, saving, tagging and organizing anime tiddy pictures, I didn't have time to do anything else I wanted, and it stopped being fun and relaxing and more like a job I had to do. I still struggle with it sometimes but I had to force myself to stop checking and go play video games instead or something

I am 15 years old and my POCD feels like its not POCD, i feel like i like my intrusive thoughts, but i have more intrusive thoughts about having intrusive thoughts, and i feel like i cant enjoy the things i normally enjoy anymore, like calling with my girlfriend and joking with her because this is still in the back of my mind, its making me question morals and if i ever even viewed P as completely wrong and i hate this so much, i love my nieces and nephews and when they're over i know id never do anything with my intrusive thoughts but when they arent present i feel like i like my thoughts. Before this i was dealing with HOCD and ROCD and i wish i could go back to that

Hey guys today I just wanted to come here and share an experience I have and I generally don't know what to do I feel like a terrible person for having these thoughts and for thinking them I genuinely don't know what to do I don't know the signs behind it and why I think the way I do but it's honestly driving me crazy I don't know what to do I have a pornography addiction for a long time it's where it's like anytime I'm an intimate moment or am masturbating my head just thinks these weird things always the same repetitive thoughts to of family members your younger sibling or a young child I myself am a 17 year old and I feel so disgusted I feel like I can't live my life anymore I feel like I'm a criminal cuz like it feels like I chose this these thoughts like I actively think them I don't know the signs behind it and I just really need professional help if there's any like therapist here that could fill me in that would be nice I would also like to know if you guys had any similar experiences because for me I feel like I have to rewatch pornography and do it right without the thoughts cuz I feel like the thoughts are just like to prevalent anytime I do anything related to masturbation why do I think this way I'm also just trying to be as honest as I can with this I'm not trying to make myself I guess a victim I'm trying to hold myself accountable if I actually am like this because I also have doubts in my head that tells me that I enjoy these things I feel like I'm going crazy someone help because it feels so real like I acted on them or that I was pleasuring myself to the thoughts and not towards the video it's just how can I live with myself you know also during it it felt like I was thinking the thought for a long period of time like it was dominating my head so I couldn't focus it felt l

I got diagnosed with OCD (variant POCD) about 3/4 yeats ago. Lately I've been really confused and makes me uncomfortable this ideas that I've had dreams in my sleep where I have romantic/sexual interactions with my older sibling— I know it's disgusting, and I don't know what to do. Recently I got a boyfriend after years of being without a partner, and he makes me so happy along my friends, but sometimes at random points of the day I have this episodes with minors or my sibling, and the ones with him start to go heavier when I'm at home or alone. The first thing that comes to mind for me to do is always how much I don't wanna live, harm myself or what is my purpose at this point (22fem) having this problems. I feel weirded out when I pass them over, and suddendly think about not giving them the atention because how important they are in a negativa way. I'm just anxious writing this, I need help. Is someone living the same? How do you work on it? I will always be like this from now? — thanks in avance and sorry for mistakes, english isn't my first language
