I tend to sexually fantasize and/or romantically as well when I am emotionally okay and at stable mentality so whenever I have these good days , ocd immediately gets in the way . For example - I would fantasize about my guy crush and feel erection ,but then images or thoughts race my Head and make me believe I am into whatever I was thinking during the ocd spike . I know I am not attractive to anyone other than guys .

I understand how you’re feeling . You’re obviously exhausted and feeling so flared up because ocd wants you to believe your thoughts or worst possible thing that does against your values , however - giving this cliche advice , you just have to sit wit the anxiety . I reflect back to all of my episodes I have had for years and makes me feel hopeful I can still go further into this ocd battle . It’s all just a cycle . And you are not your ocd . Sorry if this didn’t help; as someone once posted “ you’ve been through this before and you can get out again “ - this helped me find relief .

It sounds like your having an intrusive sexual thought & your compulsion is to flex your pelvic muscles. Can you try to sit with the uncomfortable sexual thought & NOT flex? Sounds like classic OCD to me. OCD always wants us to think it’s something else or ‘special’ or REALLY gross, but at the end of the day, it’s just your OCD!

Just wanna say I completely agree with all of this^^^ and, none of us are “sickos” including you, we just have very intense reactions to our intrusive thoughts (and everyone has intrusive thoughts. Everyone. They just bother us more than they bother people who don’t have OCD)

Oh also sometimes I try to resist but it seems like I can’t do it every time all day? Like it’s not sustainable And I feel garbage today

And does anyone have advice on how to handle this because regular ocd advice I feel like doesn’t fully address this

I have a fear of touching people inappropriately. When I was walking by someone, I intentionally thought a sexual thought, then I started wondering if it would make me move my hips, and then they moved a tiny bit. Obviously nothing happened. But I’m convinced that was me snapping. What I don’t understand is why the fuck I made a choice to think the thought. Usually I’m terrified of walking by people and try to pass them quickly. What could make me think the thought? I don’t even think the thought was about the person. I’m confused and scared

I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…

Am I the only one who experiences this, or is it more common than I think? Sometimes, I find myself imagining what a couple’s sex life might look like, or what a person’s body might be like. I think it’s driven by curiosity, and I focus on it for a few seconds. When it comes to family members, teenagers, or anyone I feel uncomfortable imagining in this way, I used to be able to shake it off as an intrusive thought. But lately, I can’t seem to let go of it anymore. I’ve become used to the anxiety, but I’m stuck questioning what this means about me, especially since I’ve taken time to think about it. This is really stressing me out because I feel like a pervert. I’m hoping that this is something more common than I realize and that OCD is just distorting something. I feel like I really need some insight here. Any advice?
