I have these kinds of weird thoughts all the time ... I’ve had weird sexual thoughts since I was a kid and used to feel like the dirtiest person in the world. For me it’s been a process of being honest with people and finding out most people have these thoughts they just let them pass by. Usually for me it’s distressing or used to be because it went against everything I morally believe in... so it made me feel nasty and sinful and just gross and I really thought something disturbing was wrong with me growing up...as I’ve studied ocd it makes me feel more normal knowing my mind just has racing thoughts about what normal people think about. Our brains process things differently than someone say without ocd. Know that it’s ok. You aren’t your thoughts. Easier said than done. It can be torturous mentally and emotionally and spiritually .... but I promise if I am better and can make it and now laugh at my thoughts that are pervy or sick or whatever I classify them as.... I just laugh and think lol you can’t control me anymore . And realizing I don’t have to act out on these thoughts and I never have either. Our minds are pretty deep in the thought process and people with ocd are very intelligent ... our intelligence can really make this harder to overcome as we feel threatened by thoughts that mean nothing

Thanks so much guys honestly , I really needed to hear these things. I try to leave them alone but it’s so hard to just let them pass without getting involved I just get so grossed out. I started to worry that because I wasn’t debating my sexuality that it wasn’t even HOCD anymore. I just hate the thoughts so much. Especially the ones that attack my attraction to women, they’re all so crazy. I appreciate all of you and hope we all overcome this someday !

Just let them be and don’t reassure yourself they will slowly go away

Don't try to fight back or do anything to speed up the disappearance of thoughts. They'll go away on their own, in their own time.

Just wondering
I started having intrusive thoughts about my sexuality when I got into a relationship with my ex and I wondered if it would seemingly go away but it hasn’t and I find myself ruminating about it constantly especially before or during my period. Has anyone else felt with this?

Question
So with my theme of ocd, ( hocd ) I get persistent intrusive images, and thoughts. It’s not like one or two a day. Like if I’m out for the whole day they’re constant. I feel I can’t even look at a girl now without her intrusive thoughts about her or about me fancying her and even sexual intrusive thoughts.. It’s awful. It’s everywhere I look. Is this common with ocd with any themes? Like is it constant for you guys too?

Someone please help me right now
I’m a csa survivor which made me develop hypersexuality while actually being a asexual individual. (Where I did CP and talked to groomers and sexted, ect ect) A few months ago I’ve started to heal, but the fact that I’ve seen so many private parts since I was idk, young? I imagine them everywhere, it’s really frustrating and sometimes I also get intrusive thoughts about other kids or my siblings. It’s deeply distributing but I also kind of think of it from a curious kind of aspect which I despise too. Honestly I have a hard time with any kid in underwear, my intrusive thoughts have been ALOT the last months and they’re really really overwhelming. I also easily go into overanalysing them or even trying to figure out more clearer the thoughts to “test myself”. I think, I hope. Idk it’s scary
