Contamination ocd is awful. I have a deep fear of sperm being everywhere! I’m so so so so scared and terrified that I’ll touch something/someone with sperm on it/them and then masterbate/finger myself or wipe after using the bathroom and get pregnant. I’m terrified to touch anything in stores, doctor offices, ect because of that very reason. I’m terrified to touch anywhere near my vagina, terrified I’ll have sperm on my hands from touching something and get pregnant I feel like giving up. I can’t be happy anymore because of this.

Don’t give up! It’s just your OCD. Is there something around you right now that you’re afraid to touch? If so, be brave and pick it up and hold onto it and face the fear without doing any compulsions. This is an example of ERP therapy and eventually you’ll have to go through it in order to re-train your brain to not signal distress over these things. It will be a long road ahead, but be strong and don’t give up! Good luck and God bless!

Interesting because you interpret bodily fluid fears in a completely different way to me!! I worry about stuff like that, but I don’t even have the pregnancy fear enter my head, mine is oh god what there sperm/blood and now I have STDs which will end my relationship” Shows how ocd latches onto what’s most important to the person

I am soooo triggered by bodily fluid and period blood in particular. I see it about once a month and it sets me off and has really traumatized me.

Hey, I get contamination ocd aswell and I know it sucks to live with on a day to day basis and forces me to have to wash my hands a lot and say numbers in my head ect dunno if you are doing any therapy at all but I have contacted a while ago a service run by the nhs called talkworks and I think it would help to talk to them as for me talking about my issues to them has been a good first step to improving my life and now they sorted a plan with me so I can talk to a therapist to help me cope and deal with my mental illnesses so I think it could help you aswell as you can both talk to someone and get the right therapy to help you cope, hope this helps

Yeah I have the sperm ocd aswell but I'm a guy who I domt worry about the pregnant thing

This is litterally me word for word
