This is really, really hard. Totally been there. It can be so hard to relax and enjoy your time with a sexual partner when your mind is racing. Of course, right when we are trying to get a break and just enjoy some sexual activity, we are taunted with intrusive thoughts that get in the way. I had to work hard at bringing myself back to the moment each and every time this happened for a long time. I still have to practice this! I always will do my best to bring it back because I hate that OCD can effect even my sex life. :(

And it’s like I used to freak out about the intrusive thoughts and now when they pop up I try to just ignore them and then it’s like oh wait did I just like that? Or my minds says you do and I’m in complete question mode again.

Same here. But I just let the “question mode” remain. Because I know even if I ignore them during, they will still haunt me afterwards so I make sure I’m ready to just keep ignoring them or expose them if they keep bothering me and won’t leave me alone. I say things back to it like “so what if I liked it? Maybe I did, maybe I didn’t.” And move on and I notice over time that’s helped me personally.

It’s for sure a constant effort so don’t be too hard on yourself but good for you to make that real effort to try and ignore them. Keep that up!

I feel like I can’t identify intrusive thoughts…I’m just constantly trying to figure my sexuality out. Like, it’s the first thing on my mind in the morning and the last thing before I go to bed and I’ve been diagnosed with OCD several times but like??? Why do some people know they’re having “1-3 thoughts per hour” if I can’t even identify them?

Living with these thoughts
How do you live with these thoughts without the fear of actually being in denial and having to leave your relationship. I don’t have any sexual attraction to a guy but my brain and thoughts put that in my mind. Soocd sucks.. any advice? Tired of these thoughts and feeling like I’m lying to myself. Diagnosed with ocd as well btw

I’ve never felt more terrible in my life.
I feel so disconnected from myself. Like everything I’ve ever been happy and comfortable with has been a lie. I don’t know what and what not to believe anymore. I feel like I’m straight/bi now. I keep having these thoughts that tell me “you’ll get with a man and like it. You know it” and I hate it. I hate the groinal response I get with sexual intrusive thoughts too. I try to keep in mind that attraction is supposed to feel good and natural, but OCD tricks me into thinking that the hypotheticals DO feel good. Just never natural. I hate it.
