So I should just let it happen? And thank you for responding. This platform has really been helping me. Helping me realize that I'm not the monster that I think I am because of my thoughts. I would never act upon anything sexual with a child. It's wrong. But I have also read that even pedophiles sometimes don't act upon their desires for children. And that discourages me.

Bob I'm not sure if you're aware but it is nearly impossible to simply just ignore groinal responses. Telling someone to ignore anything alone is not enough to help but I do see that you are trying to help.

You have recovered from having OCD with groinal response issues?

In order for ignoring something to work you can't respond with any mental compulsions which is extraordinarly hard.

The reason why you’re getting the tingling feeling around him is because your mind knows that you fear being attracted to him , and that you do not at all want that response , so you’re putting pressure on yourself which causes them. Your brain is very powerful and intricate , but it isn’t always accurate or even close to accurate when it sends signals. Anything could really trigger a signal. For example , how do you know it’s genuine arousal ?? ( not giving you reassurance or any answers by saying this :) ) what if it’s anxiety that’s causing it , which is a major cause for groinal sensations ? What if it’s the strong feeling of love or appreciation you have for him ? What if it’s from excitement from seeing him , which is normal ? The point is you don’t know , so there’s no reason to attach something to the sensation when it doesn’t deserve one , it’s just a physical sensation after all. It’s us as people that make them out to mean something or tell us something when that’s unfair to us and unfair to reality

I really appreciate all of your help and information. I will give this a try. Is it normal that I look at some boys now to see if I really am attracted? Nothing has happened I just don't know if that's weired or not.

I don't get aroused but I don't spend to much time looking because that for me is just weird.

Ok. I'm not attracted to boys right? I mean I never have bee n i don't want to be with underage boys. But as of recently it's like I've gone numb. I've lost all attraction to men. Even my fiance. Is that normal?

@ccsantiago exactly just let it happen :) I know it feels wrong and scary but it’s okay to let it happen since it’s just a sensation with no meaning. I’m so glad this forum has been helping you out , it definitely has a lot of great and compassionate people ! Whether they do or don’t act on them doesn’t have to define who you are or the kind of interpretation you give your fears , thoughts and actions ! It’s tempting to compare our situations to others but this is just reinforcing the idea that our fears our stronger than us and need to be worked out. This is an illusion but a very powerful one

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?

Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared

𝕊𝕔𝕒𝕣𝕪 𝕚𝕟𝕔𝕚𝕕𝕖𝕟𝕥 😞𝕋𝕎𝕋𝕎𝕋𝕎 ℙ𝕃𝔼𝔸𝕊𝔼 𝔻𝕆ℕ'𝕋 ℝ𝔼𝔸𝔻 𝕀𝔽 𝔼𝔸𝕊𝕀𝕃𝕐 𝔻𝕀𝕊𝕋𝕌ℝ𝔹𝔼𝔻 𝔹𝕐 𝕋ℍ𝔼𝕄𝔼𝕊 𝕎𝕀𝕋ℍ 𝕂𝕀𝔻𝕊 hi everyone, I am really struggling with something disturbing and I'm so afraid I'm a PDF. So my sis came to visit with my nephew for the first time. So the other day we were taking pics with the baby I was already feeling kinda nervous cuz I never held a baby before. Anyway it was my turn and I like I wonder if this would sexually stimulate him( not exactly the thought but the of thought was more graphic and I don't wanna disturb anyone). And I can't remember if I thought that while I was bumping him on my stomach (like how people bump babies on their hips) or before I started doing so. Anyways I can't really remember what my reaction to that thought was or if I started bumping him before or after I had that thought... So I tried not to think much of it but over time I started to spiral really bad and wonder why I thought that and why then I would bump him on my stomach after having that thought or during. I just feel so disgusted. Like was I curious about it? Did I disregard the thought because my brain thinks disturbing things? Ik right now away from that situation that ofc I have no sexual interest in my nephew at all. I played with him and helped changed diaper and everything and never had the urge to do anything inappropriate to him besides that one weird instance. So like I'm so disturbed like did that mean something? I have P OCD but that didn't really feel like an intrusive thought? I also can be very impulsive, and if it was impulsive does that mean I had a desire? Now I'm terrified of having kids even though I wanted some or to foster some. I mean I know but myself I'm not sexually attracted to kids but then why would I think that I am so disturbed really and feel so sick. 😞😞😞😞 I don't know what to do I'm so scared about what my motivation was I feel so bad and scared😞😞😞😞
