This is a very common Ocd thought! You are not alone in having these unwanted sexual thoughts and although they make you extremely uncomfortable, this is a completely “normal” form of Ocd. It does not make you a bad/wrong person to have these thoughts. Remind yourself that the thoughts are not connected to your wants and values (you do not actually desire sexual relationships with these people) and that you do not actually wish to act on these thoughts. Try acknowledging the thought (thinking “I hear this thought”) and dismissing it gently (thinking “no thank you, I don’t really want to have sex with this person”). Give yourself grace, remind yourself that you are not a bad person for having these thoughts and many people struggle with the same thing ❤️
@EmmaTopping Why did you give him good advice and told me to watch same sex pornography
I've gotten this nearly every day for 9 years. It's just an awful intrusive thought. A lot of the time it will make you feel uncomfortable but you just have to keep reminding yourself that it's not your thoughts, it's the OCD. It doesn't reflect you in any way.
