It's a checking compulsion, ultimately it will backfire tho. As a thought can be easily manipulated by the ocd part of your brain. The best approach that I've found is to not let the theme of your ocd be the focus of your energy, but instead let your mind learn to cope with the anxiety on it's own. Each time you get triggered your brain and body will become better at dealing with it and eventually dismissing the thoughts willbecome automatic.
But I'm scared because I'm not diagnosed and I managed to have an orgasm more than once testing myself via masturbation. I don't know what it means, I don't know if it's my fault and I'm so scared it's not OCD. I don't know whether I should blame myself for these compulsions but I feel like such a disgusting piece of shit and I want this gone so badly. I want this erased and never to be remembered again.
Trigger warning!!! It can mean your terrified. I was sexually assaulted when i was younger and you can have a strong intense quick orgasm. Doesnt neccessarily mean anything. Your body reacting is sometimes out of your control.
I'm going to cry, I am so sorry that happened to you, I am so so sorry you had to share this to try and make me feel better. I am so so sorry, I'm really grateful for you doing that and if there's anything I could do to repay you please tell me. FUCK THAT FREAK. I HATE THESE FUCKING FREAKS, I am so sorry that happened to you, I wish you all the joy in the world, because I know you deserve it. I was terrified, just so you know. Thank you so much, I'm sending you all my hugs and all my support and if you ever need me, don't be afraid to let me know.
Lmaooo I got you ?❤️??
It's part of a cycle of maladaptive coping, because we have a disorder that revolves around fear and worry with no resolution.
Well when you have a worry about being a freak after orgasming to freaky stuff and willingly thinking about it to check if you get aroused, then of course the "irrational fear" becomes rational. It's hard.
You make yourself masturbate to the thoughts as a compulsion to check, is what I mean. You wouldn't normally do that, which means you can control your mind. One of the things about ocd is that depression makes its symptoms worse how we feel about ourselves is distorted when we are depressed. Recognize and separate yourself from the disorder, and yes you will get better at dealing with this.
I have masturbated to the thoughts only when my OCD started and after I orgasmed more than once I was so traumatized that I never did it again. I never want to do it again. There was one time where I was in the shower and an intrusive thought persisted really hard as I was masturbating and I tried masturbating to it for like 5 seconds then immediately stopped when I realized that I was actually going flacid and becoming completely unaroused. That was the only time I ever did something similar after those traumatizing compulsions backfired on me. I felt like shit even then. But it showed me that the arousal part is extremely inconsistent and basically reassured me that something non-paraphillic is affecting me. I will never ever test myself again. EVER. It makes me feel like an absolute monster so I avoid it like the plague nowadays. I'm just mad that I'm giving into the checking for arousal via willingly thinking gross things compulsion. I hate these things, but I CAN'T LIVE WITHOUT CERTAINTY AND I WANT TO UNDERSTAND WHY THE HELL IT CAUSES GROINAL RESPONSES WHEN IT SHOULDN'T. I just want to be free from all of this.
Your welcome! I just want you to know that terror can cause orgasms. It sounds unbelievable but its true.
I'm so sorry you had to experience something so disgusting and terrifying. I promise I won't disappoint you.
Yes but whenever I don’t do it, I feel like I’m Just denying my sexuality.
This is definitely a compulsion. The groinal response is usually going to happen when you check because they’re caused by anxiety and the fact that you don’t want them to happen causes them. That’s why they shouldn’t be used as an indication of anything !
Thanks andreww. You're always busting through to save my ass.
Ok so just remember that emotions are not facts. We have three minds the emotional the logical and the wise. If your in one more than the other things happen, such as if you are in your emotional mind to much you will use feelings more than facts causing you to make bad decisions or overreact. Anxiety is fear overrun, the good news is that you can train your brain to have better control of these thoughts. Your in control even if you feel a certain way you fear being attracted to a child, but that answers the question in its self. It's not a rationale or logical conclusion, which means its ocd.
But nobody has any idea how I could orgasm from testing myself and I have no idea and I don't know what it means... I want a concrete answer as to how the hell this happened and nobody is stepping up instead sending me OCD articles about arousal that I've already seen. I'm so terrified that I'm like a disgusting severe case for OCD or that it's not OCD and I'm so scared that I'm never gonna get better because these checking/testing compulsions will haunt me for life. I am living in hell.
Knowing that dont focus on the theme focus on training yourself to overcome ocds distorted thinking.
You orgasm is derived from emotions aka feelings, and the physical stimulation of your body. Take away the physical in this situation and you will not have an orgasm. A guy can have a blank mind and still masturbate to orgasm, basically it's not going to give you any certainty and will only make you depressed in the long run.
But I orgasmed extremely quickly....like in SECONDS. What does that mean???? I've read that quick orgasms happen because of feelings of guilt stress and anxiety about orgasming and I've read studies that suggest that men who have anxiety cant supress their arousal when trying to and in fact get even more aroused just by anxiously trying to suppress it. I need an answer because I feel like such a freak and I want to erase it from ever happening. I just want to be myself again.
If you have to force yourself focus on it, you control your mind
I don't know what I'm forcing. I want to control my mind. I have intrusive thoughts, doubts and fears about more than just pedophilia. I want my old life back......I feel so gross...I feel so defeated. You think I'll ever get better?
Have you been to the intrusivethoughts.org they have alot of helpful information and advice.
I have and even though they said that an unwanted orgasm can happen they didn't specify any details.
Anyone else read about "groinal response" and "arousal non-concordance"? Basically anyone can feel a slight "twinge" of arousal at a random time, but for people with OCD, they immediately latch onto it and think it MEANS something about them. This is how many cases of HOCD, POCD, BOCD, etc begin, I'd imagine. I can have felt something one time 3 years ago and nothing since then, but still be worried it "means" something about me. Or, sometimes that first incident causes repeated intrusive thoughts every time you come in contact with that thing, so it become a self fulfilling prophesy. I can be doing fine for weeks and then suddenly start worrying about one of these again. Anyone else have any experiences similar?
Can anyone relate to having HOCD thlughts (or any form of sexual orientation OCD) and getting aroused by them? I don't mean a groinal response (tingles, twinges, etc.) or arousal-non concordance (when you're groing get's aroused but your mind doesn't), or confusing stress with arousal... I literally mean getting aroused (both mentally and physiologically) by unwanted thoughts in repeated occasions (frequently) when you test yourself? Basically like if it was a sexual fantasy, with the exception that it's a torture that you have found through compulsions. I never wanted to think any of this and I still hate and wouldn't do any of the content of my thoughts. But this happens to me and makes me feel SOOOOO in denial and anxious even though I've never had sex, interest, attraction or desires for a man (or a transexual, which is my other HOCD topic).
I will be ruminating and checking images/thoughts/ "video like images" in my head and i always feel like some sort of.. what i call an "excitement jolt" inside. This makes me want to check and ruminate more and i start to spiral and think well if my body reacts for this and not this then it must be true or if I react more to one image than the other (for example, being more attracted to women then my boyfriend) I don't know if that makes sense at all but does anyone else struggle with this?
