Marriage

@"Book-em Dano" Yes he does know! I told him a year or two ago about it! And thank you so much for your kind words! It really means a lot at this stage of how my ocd is going but I can’t let it take away my happiness! I do also want children but with Pocd that is VERY hard to think about but ocd will not be the boss of me!

@Beachpie Trigger warning.... It doesn't matter whether it's Secular culture or Christian culture, neither one has done us any favors when it comes to our awareness of s3xuality. Secular culture says, "Do what you want, as long as it's with consent" and then debates and confuses what constitutes "consent". Christian culture says, "S3x is SOOOOO BAD!!!!" to the point that even though we intellectually know Biblically that S3x is just fine within heteros3xual marriage, a lot of Christian married couples end up struggling with the s3xual nature of their marriage, because our culture taught us to live in fear about it. So it's little wonder that POCD is a thing, no matter what culture you come from. Because there are so many confusing and contradictory messages about s3xuality that it causes us to question where exactly the lines are. Saying all of this is NOT to validate p*doph*l*a, because that's gross and wrong. It's just to say, we value protecting children, and therefore, because OCD accuses us, it's going to use that Value against us. And a huge reason POCD is a thing is because of the nature of the debates today in our culture at large. If it gives you any help, my therapist on here told me that struggling with POCD can actually be a sign that you are the least likely to commit such an act against a minor, because OCD attacks what you value the most.
