Body triggers
Does anyone know a way around body triggers? Should I wear baggy clothes so I don’t notice myself so much? I try not to pay attention to the triggers, but it’s like I can’t. :(

Instead of thinking your body features as triggers, maybe you can think about them as an opportunity of ERP. Best way to deal with a fear is to challenge it, to show it you are not afraid. I heard a saying "if fear is the problem, then fear is the solution."
@zzyyxx You’re right, I just struggle with ERP, it’s insanely frightening… but it’s the only way to get better
even a word, or if I read a word that describes an intimate organ is a trigger for my thoughts (images), it even gives me groin..how many more of this😑!?!?
does it happen to you that you suddenly have the urge to look at the trigger on purpose (for me it makes me look at pictures and look for facial expressions that associate me with sex) people, pictures, something...? Always when I do it, it's like I deliberately imagine something sexual about it, and if there's no reaction, I imagine it until I get it? ??? What am I doing anymore?
Can anyone help me to stop groinal hyperawareness when exposing myself to triggering images?? Every time I look at them I get groinal hyperawareness and it’s such a pain that every time I look I can feel literally everything down there😔
