Groinal responses are a common OCD theme. I think they're designed to keep us worried, and, consequently, on the OCD rumination treadmill. Mindfullness is very important for us with OCD. Understand where it's coming from--OCD--not you, and move on. Hope this helps.

@Steven55! That means a lot. Even adjusting my body to get comfortable i go back and forth because i worry am i sitting be or laying where someone else did or am i doing it to arouse myself and have these intrusive thoughts. I go back and forth moving because of anxiety and then it makes it worse am i doing anything wrong. But the stress is the ocd and sadly im just reacting and doing compulsions which dont help

Again! OCD hard at work messing with your head. Disregard everything (and I mean everything) OCD tries to tell you. Groinals, thoughts, images, dreams etc etc etc........its all the same bullshit! Dig deep my friend, recovery is within arms reach š

Groinal Response
Hi guys. I'm asking for help on different ways of approaching groinal responses. Whenever I have intrusive thoughts, like really bad ones, I can feel my heartbeat "down there". I used to always associate it with arousal so now I just feel like I like thinking about the intrusive thoughts I've had about POCD and other stuff. It makes me take a shower everytime to "clean" myself but I need help because it's exhausting. Does a heartbeat down there always mean arousal? Do I make it happen because I just think "don't happen" a thousand times in my head?

Groinal responseā¦.maybe?
Today I had an icky intrusive thing happen where at work we had this guy dive into water. I thought he was cute and all and handsome, but thenā¦maybe because heās shirtless and all. That I had what I almost thought was a groinal response to that? I mean Iām attracted to men and heās attractive and shirtless so there. I donāt think I actually had a real response. I think it was mostly anxiety which I know groinal responses can stem from. I have a boyfriend who I love and have ROCD. I have a terrible time of finding other people attractive so this really bothers me. Iād feel awful if I actually got a groinal response from looking at another attractive man that wasnāt my boyfriend.

Can anyone relate? Looking for advice and support.
Can testing for groinal responses cause them to happen? For example i will think of an intrusive thought in the past or create a fake scenario in my head and i will start to feel something down there every time. Itās it a learned response for the trama of this thoughts? Or iām an actually a P. Dose anyone else experience this with POCD or should i look into get more help?
