Tbh it's just a fantasy porm category, it really doesn't say anything about you as a person. Porn has all sorts of fantasies, it doesn't make them real. Porm websites profit on all those fantasies and a lot of people will have seen stuff in those categories which is why there is such an abundant amount of videos with porn actors playing out those roles. OCD is trying to make this about you when its not about you. Its It's just another way for ocd to attack You, believe me I've been there because I used to watch porn with Daddy kinks.

It's not your fault. Its OCD. However, I dont think porn helps. To many of us are exposed to it and our brains latch onto things, mine certainly does. But it doesn't make you a bad person, ocd loved to dig into real life files to prove things about you as a person. You cant listen to that stuff its saying x

I definitely think porn is bad for people with OCD. I’ve watched it on and off for most of my life, and I’m totally done with it. I just want to feel good again.

I’m so sorry. The ironic thing is my ocd has changed over the years too

So has mine! My main obsession used to be health anxiety and worrying about cancer (all the time!) And now, I dont care at all if I had cancer. In fact I'd actually take cancer over this theme.

Hey Lynnrich, I’m so sorry you’re feeling a lot of shame and guilt about this. I know exactly how you feel. I watched stuff like that in the past and my mind absolutely terrorizes me for it. Know that it’s okay. You mentioned that you think porn is bad for people with OCD and I certainly agree. My fear is that someday I’ll have an insatiable or uncontrollable need to watch something terrible (or even just something I find morally gray). Know that your fear really does show something positive about your character. I have tons of friends who would watch that stuff and wouldn’t bat an eye. OCD can make you feel like you’re out of control but you ARE in control. Even if the shame or guilt tries to tell you otherwise, that doesn’t take your agency away. Maybe you’re like me and you’re afraid you’ll watch something like that again. The fear shows that you DON’T want to do it, so why would you do it in the future? The answer is you won’t. For example, I smoked weed at parties in the past but it made my mental illness worse so I decided I would never do it again. I’m not afraid that someday I’ll be unable to resist weed because I know that’s not what I want. Now of course this logic is harder to apply to obsessions, but just putting it into perspective like this really does help. Remember, you ARE in control and your fear regarding this does not make you a bad person, it just shows your admirable moral standards. I hope that you’ll feel better soon and that you can make peace with your past. You’re not disgusting and please don’t hate yourself for this. Between you and me, I think there are probably a lot of people who have experienced the same thing. I hope this helps!

I stopped watching it like 2 years ago, but it kicked off my moral OCD and it was really horrible. It still affects me today. But you just have to remember its OCD and not you and also that you're not alone. X

@Lynnrich It's short for moral scrupulosity, I really struggle with worrying if I'm a bad person. I always hope I'm a good person but I'm obsessed with the idea I may be not a good person and it terrifies me. Its my main obsession. It's horrible :(

Me too. For the first 10 years I had hocd, then for a year or so I was afraid that I was going to die of a heart attack, and now it’s pocd. I would much rather have a serious physical problem than this anyday

I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty I think I’m really struggling right now. I was in my alone time (self pleasure) and obviously like whenever you’re doing your thing you might have fantasies or whatever and that’s what came into my mind in the moment and then all of a sudden I get a flashback from a scene from pretty little liars came into my mind where Emily kisses Ali on the neck. In pilot actor who played Allison was 12 years old, which the pilot was the first episode I believe but in the rest of the season of season one she was 13 and that flashback was in season one as well after the pilot and I’m really worried that I might have self pleasure to myself to that scene even though I knew all this time that she was 13 in that scene and I don’t feel comfortable because I’m 16 and even though like it’s not too much of an age gap it’s still polished me and I’m scared to death right now, but I didn’t panic immediately because I think I somewhat kinda knew in the moment that I probably didn’t do anything bad but I am not 100% sure and then the more I thought about it, I started to panic even more and now I’m panicking even more now and I feel like a really big pedo, and I keep searching and googling and trying to check for her age to see how old she was in that scene and I’m pretty sure she was 13 but I promise I wasn’t intentionally thinking oh yeah I’m gonna self pressure myself to this scene regardlessof her age. No, I’m just afraid I probably did without even like realizing or registering the thought in my mind, but then at the same time I kind of feel like maybe I was just coexisting with a thought and now I’m scared I’m really scared guys.

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
