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.
I got diagnosed with OCD (variant POCD) about 3/4 yeats ago. Lately I've been really confused and makes me uncomfortable this ideas that I've had dreams in my sleep where I have romantic/sexual interactions with my older sibling— I know it's disgusting, and I don't know what to do. Recently I got a boyfriend after years of being without a partner, and he makes me so happy along my friends, but sometimes at random points of the day I have this episodes with minors or my sibling, and the ones with him start to go heavier when I'm at home or alone. The first thing that comes to mind for me to do is always how much I don't wanna live, harm myself or what is my purpose at this point (22fem) having this problems. I feel weirded out when I pass them over, and suddendly think about not giving them the atention because how important they are in a negativa way. I'm just anxious writing this, I need help. Is someone living the same? How do you work on it? I will always be like this from now? — thanks in avance and sorry for mistakes, english isn't my first language

I live everyday constantly having questions such as “what if you want to sleep with your dog”, “what if you want to sleep with _____’s child” and “what if you want to sleep with your sister”? Im so sick of these intrusive thoughts, POCD is my main, and most troubling, subtype and I’m just so sick of it; i dont know what to do, I constantly feel like a pedophile and I’m exhausted. My problem lies in the fact that Im starting OCD recovery but a lot of my compulsions regarding these thoughts are avoidant or purely mental, and considering the theme these feel too massive to combat. What’s some advice for beginning to battle these intrusive thoughts?
