Groinal response
Does anyone have groinal response which gives them this urge to relive tension? But you don’t because of the original thought being inappropriate.

This is very normal! Especially the urge to then do something to get rid of it. Lots of people talk about this. There’s so many YouTube videos. Chrissie Hodges is best for informing and educating but not reassuring :)

Groinal responses generates from fear and anxiety If you fear it or get anxious it will actually come

Ugh this happens to me too. I don’t hate it any less, but fortunately this is normal. The groinal response is an automatic bodily response that we can’t control. I promise they don't mean you like your intrusive thoughts. Sensations are feelings and thoughts/ feelings are not fact. You got this!

A therapist of mine told me to accept those intrusive thoughts popped up and focus on the feeling of the stimulation

Yeah what if you get the urge to relieve yourself using porn but then you get scared that a family member might pop into your head and you do something to them , to try to get over it I tried to tell myself I’m not sexual aroused so it’s not true and kept watching porn to make sure but then I got an image that I don’t want my question is since you can’t keep fearing things should I keep watching porn even though I picture my family member to try to not make it a big deal or make sure I don’t like them

I don’t like these thoughts but my mind keeps trying to make me like them by doing trick questions like why are you not aroused if you have these thoughts and that scared me, so I tried to get aroused to prove it wrong but ended up feeling unwanted groinal responses and now they won’t stop I’m scared and feel like shit idk what to do should I keep doing it so I don’t feel it anymore or should I treat it like a urge and try to ignore this feeling

How do you guys deal with the groinal?
Ughhhhh I’ve had the groinal all day and it really hurts is there any sort of medicine or something that reduces feelings of “arousal” that can just completely knock out the groinal or at least lower the symptoms of it? I know a lot of medications cause extremely low sex drive but idm it because I’m asexual and don’t ever plan on having sex because I literally hate everything sexual. I’m just so tired of this and it’s been hurting me all day it’s so aggravatinggggg I haven’t even been able to focus due to my somatic ocd I’m constantly aware of all my unconscious bodily functions and it makes me wanna rip my hair out

Groinals again
I was talking with my family. I got groinal and usually try to avoid it. My therapist said for erp dont avoid it. Even lean into or aomething. I felt my hips thrust or me lean forward as i was sitting and ocd makes me feel guilty. I than did mental compulsions like self talk repearing “no” and ruminating on it after. But i know i wasnt trying ti do anything inappropriate

? for those who consider themselves “recovered”…
If you suffer from taboo themes, and deal with groinal responses… Do you feel they have disappeared? Do you still notice them? For myself, they have become so engrained/automatic , so while i do not get “anxious” by them anymore i still can clock them & it can feel discouraging … What are your experiences?
