Hello, I’ve struggled with this on and off for years. These sensations come and go. I always used to think I only notice these groins responses when I’m feeling particularly triggered / in a big OCD phase. They are just a sub part of our anxiety and ocd, they don’t define you or your beliefs. With this in mind I think it’s really important not to compare our experiences with groinal responses as none of ours will be the same - they will just mirror what we fear to be the feeling of being turned on. This is what makes it so hard to distinguish between our body’s response to OCD or our actual sexual feelings. Please believe me this will pass. I experience weeks or months without OCD, I thank talking about it to my family, and my meds, and distraction. You’ll get there I hope you’re doing well x
Those are the worst …
HATE those. they mess w my head so much. but your anxiety and ocd can trigger these things just to make the feeling worse. don’t worry love
As a girl , I get a tingle. I get hate it sm. I don’t want it to be true
I get a pulse, which makes me feel like it’s real arousal.
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…
I keep getting these groinal responses when I think about kids or see one and it's really distressing, I only just learned that OCD can make you feel that and it's not actually attraction but it's so hard to remember that and I've seen people talking about accepting uncertainty but I'm so scared to think "maybe it's attraction maybe it's not" instead of "no it's not attraction that's disgusting" and idk what to do
Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?
