Yeah, could be sexual orientation OCD. I used to have it too, I'm gay and I had groinal responses to girls. Being asexual doesn't mean having no libido though. You can still like sex and be asexual, it doesnt contradict itself.

@holyshhii I think you can treat it just like any other OCD thought. Practice noticing oh that’s a thought and then rather than ruminating you can say maybe maybe not and mindfully shift your attention to something more meaningful to you
