I hear you—it’s terrifying when POCD thoughts feel like they’re yours, but please know this: they are not a reflection of who you are. That fear, that disgust, that panic you feel? It’s proof that these thoughts go against everything you believe and value. OCD loves to target what matters most to you—it’s cruel like that. You’re not alone. You are not your thoughts. You are the one suffering because of them, and that means your heart is in the right place. Be gentle with yourself. This will pass. You’re still you, and you are good.

Hey Shaima have you suffered with this and if so have you struggled with these thoughts during intimacy?

@Rayanswaid I hear you—and I get that not everyone connects the same way. Just shared what helped me personally. We’re all here trying to support in the way we know best.

No i dont , but OCD is OCD, no matter the type. Whether it’s POCD or something else, it’s all the same cycle. I honestly believe that sexual OCD, whether pedophilia-related or not, often comes from excessive exposure to sexual scenes or a past history of sexual insult. Avoiding all triggers for months can really help—like your brain slowly cleans itself out. You start to feel lighter, clearer, and more in control.

Is there anyway I can inbox you? I generally have them come in during intimate moments of my two boys then I had a thought if they were of my step daughter I wouldn't be able to do this then I thought of her continued slights and ran to the bathroom to vomit now I feel so guilty

Im at work and work is where my ocd is triggered most. I plugged in the solar panels and remembered my friend whos an electrician. Than i had intrusive thoughts of his daughter and sexual intrusive thoughts. I felt so anxious and am having a hard time breathing. I said a prayer and kept working. Then ocd said was i praying for something inappropriate but thats absurd and not true. Then the intrusivr thought was of female erogenous areas. It was just a thought of a female provate lart. It was like the thought of my friends face then his daughters face then the female erogenous part. So ocd says was the intrusive thought of a adult female erogenous part or a minors. Then ocd says i like adult women so did i like the thought of the female private part. Idk what the thought was it was just a female erogneous part that popped in my head. I know im not a pedophile. I know i dont want ocd thoughts. I know the thoughts made me anxious. Then ocd says if it was a intrusive thought of a small female erogenous part its a pocd intrusive thoughts. If it was a thought of a big female erogenous part it is an adults part. Idk what the thought was tbh now my memorys blurred. I just recall having their faces pop in my head then a thought of a female private part and i remember being super anxious panicking and having a hard time breathing from the anxiety. I know this is indication its ocd and anxiety. I dont like these thoughts and dont want them. Im not a pedophile. Im terrified by the thoughts and i know my anxious reaction disproves the ocd intrusive thoughts and doubts. I know who i am. Im a faithful husband and not a pedophile. I dont want these thoughts it’s distracting me from work as im ruminating and writing this. I feel like crying. I dont want sexual intrusive thoughts. I dont want pocd thoughts. Help!
