I have found out is that my false feelings and attraction is gone, before I look at women I don’t feel attached or attracted to them, but now its back, also ruminating about my childhood memories I don’t do that anymore. I also stopped watching movies and YouTube because i felt scared but now I’m doing that and also stopped calling my male friends because I didn’t want to get aroused when we talk but now we’re talking. They only thing that it’s making this worse is the Groinal Before intrusive thoughts pops up now it feels like I’m the one put it in my head on purpose to see if i want it and it backfires with a movement down there

Hey thats really good I wish I can get there. Yeah I get that part where you purposely put things in your head to see if your aroused I do that too. It's just an compulsion, but honestly man and I promise you've gotten through the worse of it. If I may ask how did you get rid of it? Like did you have to quit porn, how did you get rid of that false feelings and stuff because I've been struggling to get rid of it

@duane🍀 Gotcha yeah I lt sucks like my brain when it sees an attractive dude it will say,"hes cute" I'm just like,"cool" but of course it says ask him out or his phone number" and what sucks is I face no anxiety so it genuinely feels like I want to do it too and it sucks. Thankfully I don't get the false sexual attraction with groinal response I don't get that thankfully however it's the romantical emotional and crushing feelings and it sucks

that's normal to test yourself to see if you like it and it will backfire that's why we must not test its a form of compulsion, while we are on fight or flight mode the body will react in ways it shouldn't and that aren't reliable. also I've read that through classical conditioning we reinforce groinals through repetition this means that eventually your body reacts automatically with groinals in pressence of a triggering subject read this https://rucklab.com/unwanted-erections-in-obsessive-compulsive-disorder/

@Grm2 Bro this Groinal response stage isn’t easy, never had a Groinal response when all this soocd started last year, why is it happening now 😕

@duane🍀 Because you've produced it by repetition, by checking as a compulsion you've created that reaction and reinforced it through classical conditioning

@duane🍀 You provided the solution already you must sit with the discomfort and once your brain sees that its not something valuable or that you care anymore it'll start to fade, erp etc. In fact I'm going to follow your advice on sitting with the discomfort it's just so difficult at times when it feels like all these reactions are real

am i the only one?

recently my intrusive thoughts haven’t been bothering me much, unless i’m busy doing nothing. i suffer from SO-OCD. whenever i think yes, these thoughts don’t bother me anymore, i’m doing great, i then work myself up like ‘well your thoughts are obviously true then otherwise they would make you upset and uncomfortable’. when i get the thoughts they do still make me feel this way but also not as strong. I do then panic and think i’m something i’m not, despite knowing the truth. also anyone know why they get worse when i’m bored or not doing anything? 😢

To all SOOCD sufferers!

SOOCD sufferers! Do you sometimes worry that you're true attraction is your false attraction and vice versa? and that you actually dont really know what true attraction is but if you go with the unwated sex you will know? Ima actually really struggeling between finding someone attractive and being attracted to someone.... I'm a straight female (I think) and I recognise a beautiful women more than a handsome men. Like I wasnt really attracted to my bf's body before actually being with him. However since in my mind, the female body has "more" if feels like I'll feel more if Im with a women? ughh soo weird. Like I dont see a men's naked body and automaticcaly get turned on, I have to be intimate with him for that to happen? honetsly between that and the romantic feelings that I feel like are not "enough" it really sounds like denial even if my therapist really diagnosed me. UGH

? 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?
