I think you might be thinking too much into it. I think the situation reminded you of it because of the idea of him being in a bath reminds you of a child because typically children take baths. I think that triggered you to think the scenario itself is cute and silly not that it turns you on. It reminded you of a child because that is something a child would do not because you are attracted to a child but because you think of them as cute. I think that reaction is totally normal don’t let your mind play tricks on you by reading too much into situations. You got this!

Pocd is so rough. Your ocd is over analyzing this I wouldn’t worry about it. How have you recovered from this theme in the past?

Obviously something I haven’t fully recovered from. It will resurface when I obsess over a thought and I start ruminating

@bloop123 I see. I try to really just not obsess and realize my situation isn’t that bad.

I’m so sorry that you’ve been thinking so hard on this. OCD is irrational and it will try to use everything against you. A few days ago I had a really dumb thought that I have a crush on some guy because he once was a kid ??♀️. The concerns and fear feel very reasonable at the time but just know that OCD will make your mind run with everything. Of course telling a person with OCD to stop overthinking isn’t very helpful (that’s part of the disorder!). What I’ve started doing is accepting the thought (not the content) before my mind even goes there. For example, if I have an intrusive thought or the impulse to do a compulsion, I identify them for what they are: OCD thoughts.

Sometimes I think " do I like kids?" "Would i get aroused if I saw content with kids?""What if I'm a pedo and cant accept it?" "What if I'm ok with these thoughts?" "What if I'm not distressed enough " "What if I enjoy these thoughts?" , i avoid kids as much as i can, i cant look at them bc I'm scared I'm gonna have some groin like response. I keep testing if I'd get turned on or if I'd have some groinal response to sexual scenarios with kids. Sometimes I think that if I took my life this would be over and i wouldn't have to think about this and i wish i doubted something else instead of things like this. I had similar situations just with different topics such as if i loved or found sexually appealing a guy while in a relationship and i kept asking myself those questions for months and i avoided going to school for weeks and when I went I'd cry and have anxiety attacks. I had it with past actions i obessed over and felt the need to exploit every detail and be honest because otherwise i was being a fraud. I had it for sexual things that happened when i was a child. Im not diagnosed with ocd but should i tell this to my local counselor? Can someone help? Give me advice or tell me anything?

Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared

How is this OCD? Who with Pocd thinks about a naked child ???? I was over here thinking if I’m actually attracted to kids because I find some of them good looking you know and my little cousin I have thoughts about her too and I was thinking about her naked but I wasn’t aroused or nothing so that’s where I’m confused It was intentional so does that make me a p*do?
