Do others experience groinal responses and anxiety about attraction in relationships?
ROCD and gronial response
I wanted to see if this is an experience, that others share. I have been in a relationship and for a long time now I have experienced groinal responses in situations where I feel anxiety. For example, if I’m in a classroom and there’s male students around me I may get a groinal response. or if I’m watching a TV show and I find an actor to be attractive and I get an ongoing groinal response. And it’s not that I’m having intrusive thoughts about the person or that I have some sexual attraction, but I simply find them attractive, and I guess I have a fear of finding someone else, except my partner attractive. I have just had a very bad relationship with finding others than my boyfriend, attractive and it’s almost like a fear that I have. When I see some more attractive, especially on TV, it’s almost like my body is conditioned to get that groinal response. Can anyone else relate to this?
