If you believe in God, please believe in a god that loves you unconditionally. Sexual thoughts are part of our nature, it's human to have them. If your sexual life is respectful and not hurting anyone then you shouldn't feel ashamed about it.

The fact that you freak out so much about these things show you really love God and you have a good heart. But that doesn't mean he doesnt know what you are going through which is scrupulosity. He's going to help you fight through it you will be just fine. And remember to always pray.

Do you think so? I feel so freaked out by the fact he can see into my brain. It’s like he watches me do everything. And I just can’t deal with that pressure :’(. My sexual life was totally fine and not hurting anyone, just a normal girl. But since having these thoughts it’s like I can’t stop ruminating about it. I don’t even know how to combat it.. how will I ever be able to kiss someone with my mind focusing on not enjoying it because God is watching and I feel anxiety inside about my thoughts

Look, I'm not religious but I used to be. From my experience I can tell you that if your God is a good presence then he doesn't judge what is going on in your head. Some thoughts could be intrusive and not even meaningful to who you really are. A good God wouldn't be so scrupulous about our minds , especially if he made us this way, with this ability to think about anything. Just try to focus more on your actions. If you're sure that your sexual life is respectful towards you and others, then don't be afraid to fulfill your desires.

@Bigheart God is a good God and He's not scrupulous. Scrupulosity doesn't come from Him because He has freed us from guilt and shame. God loves the sinner but hates sin. He didn't make us this way. "So God created man in his own image, in the image of God created he him; male and female created he them." Genesis 1:27 His plans were never to harm us any kind of way. "For I know the plans I have for you,” declares the Lord, “plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future." Jeremiah 29:11 His word also says that" by His stripes we have been healed " Isaiah 53:7 Even though God knows the situation with our minds He also knows what's deep inside our hearts. That's all He sees.

Every single time me and my boyfriend do anything sexual, I feel really really guilty about it after. We’ve never had sex before but have done other things and I don’t feel guilty about it in the moment, but afterwards I feel guilty. I don’t necessarily regret doing it but I just feel horrible as a human. He does not push himself on me in anyway and I know it’s all a me thing. He is very cautious in making sure I’m comfortable and feel okay, but I don’t start feeling guilty until afterwards. I feel like this always relates back to my faith, which has recently fallen off. I feel like I can’t talk to anyone about this because I always get told the benefits of waiting for marriage. And honestly I do understand that, but I don’t know that I want to wait. I feel like people keep shoving “waiting for marriage” down my throat and it draws me so much further from Christianity and makes things so much harder to feel close to God again. I just feel so lonely in feeling these things and scared I’m going to hell if I keep doing stuff with my boyfriend, but I genuinely don’t know what I believe in anymore and it’s draining me that my values are changing. I know it’s probably healthy and natural for values to change as you grow up, but I feel like there’s a stereotype of Christianity I have to adhere to and it makes me so anxious and scared I’m going to hell if I don’t get everything perfect. My relationship with Christ isn’t something that I involve others in because of how personal it is to me. But I just feel shamed upon by every other Christian and it makes me scared for myself and sad for the way society is making it such a black and white view of this religion.

I keep having disgusting sexual and intrusive thoughts about God Jesus, Holy Spirit I feel hopeless and like there’s nothing left for me. What if this is who I am and how I think I can’t even pray without having thoughts or images.

This is gonna sound really weird and this is a disturbing post for me to make I’m 20, waiting till marriage. I’m a Christian but I have very bad sexual intrusive thoughts. this sounds so weird but I was thinking about the Holy Spirit like the Holy Spirit is love, peace, patience, joy, and stuff like that. My mind said that I wanted to have sex with an orange I know that’s a very weird thought but for some reason, I thought that would be cool but I know that’s very weird but in my mind, my brain said that orange is the fruit of the spirit and my brain said that I was thinking sexually about the Holy Spirit, but I don’t wanna have sex with the holy Spirit. That’s terrible I hate the thought. I don’t wanna have sex with the fruit of the spirit that’s terrible and I hate that thought now I’m scared what if I really wanted to do that to the Holy Spirit or to the fruit of the spirit? I just need some advice and I’m really freaking out anything you guys say would really help I am a Christian so please don’t go against my religious values and beliefs.
