Stop looking for it, accept that it’s there and don’t think about it - don’t ruminate on it - or anything. I had this, but it does go away. Once you accept that hey - that’s a thing apparently. It just disappears. But hyper focusing only makes you feel it more you know? You think you only notice it because it happened then you thought about it, but you thought about it THEN it happened. It’s like saying don’t think of a pink elephant. Stop thinking about pink elephants... we’ll you did and you are so there lolol it gets easier

No need to go to the doctor , let them happen without responding to them!! They can’t harm you and are no objective problem unless you attach some meaning to them. You’ve had muscle spasms before right ? Or pins and needles ? If you don’t obsess over these sensations then why obsess over groinal ones. Groinal sensations are unconscious ones that can be triggered by practically anything , but you should accept that you don’t know what’s causing them to have relief!

I have to say groinal respones are the absolute worst. I get it. But ignoring them and just let it be there is the best advice for sure.

Groinal Arousals/Responses Are Driving Me Insane
Every time I go to bed late and I’m falling asleep, I suddenly get an intrusive thought of a child’s face and my groinal area always responds to it. It’s such an uncomfortable experience. I am way too tired to try and freak out so I end up falling asleep. The next morning I’m always trying to figure out whether I had the groinal response first or after the thought. I start giving OCD power but it feels like If I let it go, then I’m in denial or whatever. I don’t want to ever do anything sexual with a child. I don’t even feel comfortable talking platonically with people who are 17, much less a child. My therapist says that I have a deep rooted fear that I’m this horrible person and that OCD loves to feed off of it. When you get a groinal response, it makes the thought that much more real. I never want these things to happen. I want to only be into adults. It’s so discomforting and stressful. Especially since I’m hyper checking how anxious I am, and if I find I didn’t really have much anxiety, then I’m like “well if I didn’t have anxiety, what does this mean?” And more questions occur til I end up in a rabbit hole

I feel anxious
I’m on my period and o think my ocd feels a little worse today… I feel anxious and like something bad is about to happen, like I can’t move or talk cause I’ll freak out or snap and do something. Also I had a gronial response about an SA topic and I feel horrible, I’ve noticed that I do have these gronials as if I’m actually into that but idk if it can happen that you have the gronial and think “oh I’m horny, not about this but I am” is that possible? Idk how to say it… also I think I just want reassurance but I’m also scared…

Will groinals go away with acceptance
I keep getting these groinal responses when I think about kids or see one and it's really distressing, I only just learned that OCD can make you feel that and it's not actually attraction but it's so hard to remember that and I've seen people talking about accepting uncertainty but I'm so scared to think "maybe it's attraction maybe it's not" instead of "no it's not attraction that's disgusting" and idk what to do
