I noticed this chat and wanted to ask for help, when I was younger I would engage in weird stuff like dry humping my dog then in my twenties I remember vaguely letting my dog lick down there It has not left my mind since it popped up and I cant stopfeeling so ashamed or questioning why I thought this was a normal thing to do I keep trying to figure out exactly when it happened, like dates times and my mind just goes into over drive I'm so scared I'm a bad person or a criminal I dont do anything like this now

were you sexually abused as a child? I was, and in return it affected my sexuality my entire life. (including taking part in what you had mentioned) I don't believe you're 'attracted' to animals so much as your body remembers what happened, and responds according to that situation. Bodies and minds are difficult to understand..

Our bodies react to things that aren’t even sexual sometimes in a sexual way!! Try to remember that even if you’ve had an experience with an animal like that or if you have a physical response that it has nothing to do with what you actually feel. Sometimes our bodies respond to things in a way that feels sexual but remember that things like fear and other uncomfortable emotions can engage a sexual reaction, like how men can get erections from fear- doesn’t mean they are “turned on” by the situation, it’s just a physical response. Also everyone does weird sexual things as a kid too I try to remember that

@queenquinn thank you so much for your reassurance ❤️ but I still feel a bit like a freak, it’s so difficult having ocd you never know if you’re doubting yourself because of your illness of if that’s who you are.. but I needed to hear that (compulsions aside) I’ve never reached out to people who are going through similar things and this is the first time I’ve opened up

Yes exactly!! And so many obsessions can be taboo too so I feel like more of a freak from that too! I’m glad you chose to open up. Talking about it and reading online helped me the most to know people have the exact “crazy” thoughts and you’re not alone!!

I’m pretty sure I wasn’t, I can’t remember anything of the sort, I know that I was exposed to sexual encounters when I was younger as I had an older sister who told me about them, and I know obviously you have that thing with children your own age like you show me yours and I’ll show you mine but it’s like I can’t get it out of my head and I feel suffocated

NSFW 17f So basically I did something sexual to the cat when I was younger. It wasn't like full on bestiality, my privates weren't touching the cat and I wasn't touching the cats privates but it was still sexual. I didn't know what I was doing was wrong. It didn't harm the cat in any way, but of course it's still horrible. So I developed real event ocd that ruined my life complitely. Most of the time I don't think I will male it to 20. Sometimes it's a living hell. I developed it more than a year ago and I barely even remember this year cause I was so consumed with guilt it was the only thing in my head. So i also developed zoophilia ocd because of it. And I feel so bad cause I can't interact with my cat anymore. Because she wants to and I have to ignore her. Slowly I started to be scared to let her on my bed. So I stopped. Then in my room. Stopped doing that too. I still tried to give her some attention just outside of my room. Then I got scared to touch her. So I stopped doing that, but I used her brush to pet her with it and her toys to play with her so i don't physically touch her. Then my ocd went like but what if you are subconsciously using her for sexual gratification when you look at her? So now I can't even look at my cat. I look away when she is around, block my sight with a hand, close my eyes or if I can I leave. But the heartbreaking part is. Before I remembered what I did I was giving my cat a lot of attention. Like everyone says I'm her favorite and she only allows me to hold her and pet her the certain ways. So for all that time she is desperately trying to get my attention. She jumps on my rooms door, meows for a long time, tries to sneak in my room and stuff like that. And It's so sad I just have to ignore her. Especially cause she doesn't understands why. She was getting so much love and then randomly she is being ignored?? idk her real age cause we took her from the street, but she lives with us for 13 years, so she is not young. She is pretty healthy so I don't think she is going to die any soon but still. if I never get over it she will spend her last years of life ignored. and this makes me want to cry and want to throw up. but I don't know what to do. if I touch her I start freaking out and convincing myself that I used her somehow for sexual stuff even if I didn't do anything like that. I'm so scared. and also sad for her. and I miss my cat tbh. like everhtime I have to close my door when she tried to enter I feel so bad. but I'm so scared. because after what I did to her I'm already a monster. I don't want to add anything else. but I also feel bad for ignoring her.

tw: nsfw 17f I have a real even ocd from a sexual event with an animal (my cat) from where I was younger. Remembering it ruined my life and made it a living hell. It was bad. It's not one of those innocent events people always assume because I have ocd and then they get all surprised when it was actually bad and sexual. (animal wasn't harmed though) So basically I developed I fear of interacting or even looking at animals after I remembered so I was avoiding my cat like crazy, but then I realized that it's cruel to ignore an animal who wants love and attention, so I forced myself to overcome it kinda. I basically downloaded a habit tracker where I mark when I was able to pet my cat cause while it's triggering I want to give my cat love and I'm trying to pet her everyday So yesterday I was petting the cat. And she was extremely enthusiastic about it. Like she was almost throwing herself on me to get more pets like kinda agressive at this point to get pets. I started thinking how animals go in heat in spring. But she is like sterilized so I wasnt sure its possible for her. Like maybe they are just more active in spring? But what if the pets are somehow sexual for the cat? Then I thought maybe I shouldn't pet her then cause that's wrong. But then I thought like who cares and also then it will be like this the whole spring should I just not touch her the whole spring and ignore her again? I was also tired a bit so I wasn't thinking it all through that much Now I'm freaking out so bad. Like I knew there was a possibility that it was sexual for the cat and still continued petting her I didn't stop. It's so bad. Like I thought its whatever since it's not sexual for me but now I'm freaking out. Like the whole me being a better person and learning on my mistakes after that one earlier event was for nothing if I was able to do something like this I'm freaking out so bad

(21+ ONLY: TRIGGER WARNING) I’ve been increasingly worried that I’m a zoophile (among other things) and that I’m attracted to my family dog. I love him and I take care of him—I take him out to poop and pee, I play with him, and I feed and water him. But I get nervous when I have to be around him for a long time—I get these thoughts and they just won’t stop. I’ll find myself looking at my dog’s privates and having these strange urges. I feel horrible—like I could’ve done something to him or touched him inappropriately and conveniently don’t remember. I don’t know what to do…
