Groinal responses
Worry about groinal responses while laying down and worry when i hear relatives voices. I adjust as a compulsion and worry if im arousing and if i dont move i worry am i dwelling.

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! Thank you for your help
@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

I was talking with my family. I got groinal and usually try to avoid it. My therapist said for erp dont avoid it. Even lean into or aomething. I felt my hips thrust or me lean forward as i was sitting and ocd makes me feel guilty. I than did mental compulsions like self talk repearing ānoā and ruminating on it after. But i know i wasnt trying ti do anything inappropriate
If you suffer from taboo themes, and deal with groinal responsesā¦ Do you feel they have disappeared? Do you still notice them? For myself, they have become so engrained/automatic , so while i do not get āanxiousā by them anymore i still can clock them & it can feel discouraging ā¦ What are your experiences?
Iāve been feeling the urge to avoid intimacy or purposefully engage (for reassurance that I wonāt give into a compulsion) because of intrusive thoughts and fear that Iāll ācheck/testā my reactions. My OCD is making me so scared that Iāll purposefully think of a child and try to see if I like it. Itās so complicated but I guess Iām mentally checking if I would mentally check during intimacy. Iāve even envisioned myself checking and itās making me so nauseous. I know itās a compulsion like any other but the sound of ātouching yourself to the thought of a childā sounds atrocious and vile. Iām terrified Iāll automatically start checking next time I am being intimate. I truly feel so worried. If anyone has gone through something similar, Iād appreciate hearing your experience. Or if anyone has any advice?
