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

Groinal Arousals/Responses Are Driving Me Insane
Every time I go to bed late and I’m falling asleep, I suddenly get an intrusive thought of a child’s face and my groinal area always responds to it. It’s such an uncomfortable experience. I am way too tired to try and freak out so I end up falling asleep. The next morning I’m always trying to figure out whether I had the groinal response first or after the thought. I start giving OCD power but it feels like If I let it go, then I’m in denial or whatever. I don’t want to ever do anything sexual with a child. I don’t even feel comfortable talking platonically with people who are 17, much less a child. My therapist says that I have a deep rooted fear that I’m this horrible person and that OCD loves to feed off of it. When you get a groinal response, it makes the thought that much more real. I never want these things to happen. I want to only be into adults. It’s so discomforting and stressful. Especially since I’m hyper checking how anxious I am, and if I find I didn’t really have much anxiety, then I’m like “well if I didn’t have anxiety, what does this mean?” And more questions occur til I end up in a rabbit hole

I feel anxious
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…

Will groinals go away with acceptance
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
