Sexual thoughts

I have really bad ocd associated with sexual topics. I dont really know why. Always when my friends talk about this topics i just sit and dont know what to said, also i dont really feel desire to have sex right know (im 16). My ocd is really spiraling over this topic, but not really about ,,tradicional sex", more like some weird things. But right know my ocd is spiralling over anal sex And i dont really want to do it in future. I know that when i will be older i will want to have ,, traditional sex, but not really this type that my ocd is spiraling over. And when this type of thoughts comes to my mind i just sit and think and i need to imagine this and my ocd is telling me its nice and i just feel diffrent things in places that i think of and i dont know what to to feel about and it tells me this is nice but i dont want to think that and feel that ,i dont really want to do this in future, and general, but my ocd is telling me that i like it and when i imagine this i feel in my body weird things and im just so tired of this that i most just sit and cry. Im on vacation right know and i dont want ocd to ruin this Sorry if this post is chaotic, im just so tired of this, also english is not my first language

This is all perfectly normal for OCD. This is what OCD does. OCD also focuses on taboo topics (like sex). Then it just brings weird thoughts back over and over and over. The physical sensations are also part of OCD. Feeling "groinals" or other sexual feelings can happen often. This is just typical OCD!! The good news is that your OCD will respond to treatment, just like any other OCD. If you can apply your therapy tools, you can get a lot better!!! Are you in therapy now?

@Hannah090 It's all OCD, so don't worry about it. But even if it wasn't, that doesn't matter. You have to treat ALL thoughts the same. You treat all thoughts with ERP therapy. Don't try to figure out if they are OCD or not. That is always a trap. Also, I think it is really good to know that the groinals and physical sensations are JUST THE SAME as the intrusive thoughts. You actually deal with them exactly the same way. In other words, you ALLOW the physical sensations to come and go as they please. You don't try to stop them or fight them off. You treat them just like intrusive thoughts – because that is what they are. Just let them pass by. We can talk more if any of this is confusing!! The more you can use your OCD therapy tools, the better you will feel. It takes a lot of time and practice. But you can get there!!!

@Tea and Honey Thanks, i didnt think of physical sensation like intrusive thoughts. Sometimes i feel something randomly and i need to reapat this though and feeling to be sure that they are fake, but sometimes i feel them again and I'm scared that i felt this, even if this isnt groinals sensation , but just like feeling, i dont know how to explain this, but i will try to deal with them like with intrusive thoughts

@Hannah090 Yes!!! Make sure you don't do any compulsions (to make sure they are fake). When those feelings come, do NOTHING. You just treat them like intrusive thoughts--because that is what they are. It takes a lot of practice, but keep at it. Things will get better!!
