Struggling with sexual OCD and intrusive thoughts; seeking coping tips.

sexual ocd

does anyone else have this? it really really sucks, i have bad intrusive thoughts about anything that could be “sexual”. I cant even eat a banana anymore, without my brain telling me its sexual. I feel so so much anxiety from it, and i cant be around people and i dont like when people look at me cause im afraid their sexualizing me and i just cant. I hate this, can anyone give me tips for thoughts like these? because it makes me incredibly uncomfortable. I dont know how to ignore it.

I know that it's really difficult when ocd gets into every part of your life and corners you like this.. trust me it's normal and I know it's painful. we just have to keep doing our best to challenge these thoughts and break the rules in our head that this thing has made for us. it's going to be ok, just hang in there.

You’re not alone. Mines probably due to negative interactions with men in the past, but I eat my bananas and things a like in a different room and I constantly feel sexualized by men if they look at me or make comments about me. If I know I’m going to be around someone that makes me uncomfortable I cover up head to toe with clothes, put my hair up, and stay to myself. The anxiety I get when someone wants to see my hair is heavenly✨ 🫠

@Catastrophic Asstroknaut 🚀 Also, maybe cutting the banana up and using a fork may help if you want to challenge yourself to eat it. Maybe add your favorite peanut butter/almond butter, honey, or chocolate sauce to take your mind off of it.

@Catastrophic Asstroknaut 🚀 I get this all the time, it hurts so bad. I even just want to dress up and look good, but can’t because of the sickening fear of being sexualized. 💔

@kksilly I know what you mean, I share the same feelings too sometimes. When I want to dress up, I make sure I’m not going out alone to where I could be a target for kidnappers and practice self awareness in parking lots and stores at all times. Women in my area are being targeted right now for trafficking and I just think it’s extremely important to stay cautious of your surroundings at all times, don’t get distracted and become a target.

S3xual thoughts and ocd

Can someone please tell me I’m not alone? Can you share your experience with getting intrusive S3xual thoughts please Because I feel like it’s not talked about and it’s something I really struggle with and I’m scared I’m the only one getting these disturbing and fucked up thoughts and scared I want them and that it’s actually me and not my ocd For example : I feel like I’m constantly constantly getting S3xualised thoughts of people I’m related to especially when I’m trying to have S3xual time

intrusive thoughts during sexual activities (+18)

Has anyone gone through this or is still going through this and can give any tips on how to make it stop? The intrusive thoughts during sexual activities are simply bothering me so much that I'm afraid to do anything like that because of the thoughts. I couldn't do it for weeks because I was always thinking about some atrocious thing, but yesterday I failed and now I'm feeling bad because even though I tried not to think, it's like I had an open folder in the back of my head and I blame myself for not being able to delete or block it. I'm afraid that avoiding it will become a compulsion and disrupt my sex life, but I also don't feel comfortable doing it often because of the thoughts. Does anyone identify? any tips to improve? I'm repressing myself because of this and I know it's not something that will do me any good. Sorry if this is inappropriate.
