is there a chance you just don't have physical compulsions? ruminating, stopping your thoughts, saying specific phrases to neutralize or 'get rid' of the thoughts are all just some types of mental compulsions. they can be hard to pinpoint since they're not physical.

@Anonymous honestly, even trying to figure out why you don't have compulsions could be a compulsion! it's so tricky. that's how ocd keeps us in these loops, especially with pure o. sorry i can't be of more help

This is how I have been feeling for awhile now. Makes it so hard for erp. Basically just get intrusive thoughts/feelings that constantly come. I’m pretty sure though my compulsions are constant emotional checking meaning I keep checking to see how I react to the thoughts… If I am feeling “better” “worse” “happier” etc than previous waves or even someone who doesn’t have this. The thing that sucks is this “checking” happens more or less unconsciously/in tandem with thoughts/feelings. Like if the compulsions just “come” how they heck do I do erp? I guess just accept abs move on 🤷🏻♂️

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?
