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 ❤️

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.

Purposely Picturing Taboo Things?
Am I the only one who experiences this, or is it more common than I think? Sometimes, I find myself imagining what a couple’s sex life might look like, or what a person’s body might be like. I think it’s driven by curiosity, and I focus on it for a few seconds. When it comes to family members, teenagers, or anyone I feel uncomfortable imagining in this way, I used to be able to shake it off as an intrusive thought. But lately, I can’t seem to let go of it anymore. I’ve become used to the anxiety, but I’m stuck questioning what this means about me, especially since I’ve taken time to think about it. This is really stressing me out because I feel like a pervert. I’m hoping that this is something more common than I realize and that OCD is just distorting something. I feel like I really need some insight here. Any advice?

Please help
Hello everyone, forgive my bad English since it is not my native language, I have been suffering from OCD for 6 years now. It started with being afraid of harming my loved ones and soon it escalated. All of this leads us here towards sexual obsessions. I was abused many times when I was a child. I don't know if that had any impact on my sexual issues. so everything lead up to a intrusive tought of what would happend if i touch myself with a picture of your parents" and I ended up paying attention to the intrusive tought and i ended up doing what my intrusive tought told me so i said to me "OCD would make me touch myself for everything i loved so what, i would do it before the anxiety attacks" and I end up in a spiral of having touched myself by several photos of my family members, friends and even my own therapist all wanting to prevent future compulsions and anxiety now I only think about taking my life, I never wanted that to happen I am not a monster who has sexual desire towards my loved ones I fell under my own intrusive thought and the only thing I think about now is taking my life life for what I've done
