Is there some particular reason you think that your porn taste was an addiction rather than just a fetish you were resisting? And why you describe it as disgusting?

@abowlofcereal I have a straight male friend who mostly watches trans porn, it doesn't "mean" anything it's just what he likes. A lot of people feel regret or gross about themselves after masturbating, they just don't usually latch onto that feeling or beat themselves up about it. Also you were viewing hentai as just hentai when you watched it. It doesn't matter that now you've added more meanings and opinions to it, you weren't watching it and thinking of children at the time, so you're all good. Idk I think it would be a really good idea to go to therapy to talk about the problem you're having. I'm finding it quite difficult to tell if that is OCD or if this is all internalised shame and religious OCD (if you have compulsive praying, confessing, wondering what God would thinknetc) and POCD.

Believe in yourself. The same thing happened to me too. This could be an urge of OCD, or just mental heath. When it happened to me it was mental health, so I said to myself that this is not right at all. Listen, God forgives you for everything, but it’s not your fault here at all if you are not attracted to porn. OCD makes you have urges, and thoughts that break you down. If you know that you were never like this, and never had any interest in watching any of this, then all you need to do is ignore those thoughts and urges. I know I know, your probably saying what?! But it’s the truth, please please, ignore them. All they are going to do are destroy you. God believes in you forever, God doesn’t want you to pay attention to those thoughts because it’s not your fault. It’s not your fault if your thinking of this. It’s not your fault if your having these urges. It’s not ! The only solution is to ignore the thoughts, because all they are going to do is destroy you. It was really hard for me to ignore them, because I thought I’m doing a big sin by having these thoughts and urges. I’m not sure if your urge was an ocd urge, but you know it! God loves you, I tried to get help, and they said to me that your not trying to think of it. The thoughts and urges are popping up in your head. So trust me believe in yourself and God forever. God is believing in you, please for God ignore these thoughts, and urges. If you don’t know if that urge was an ocd urge or you don’t understand what I’m saying then I’ll explain again properly. But please ignore the thoughts. OCD urges are the urges that you really need to do it, but normal urges I think are lust. If you know that you don’t have any lust, then you know you don’t. Please don’t watch it and ignore it please. If you need any assistance please ask. I’m not sure about the normal urge thing I’ll search it up and make sure. But these thoughts that no your sex is opposite those are ocd thoughts please ignore. Please. If you know that you don’t have any lust, and if you feel in your heart that no I don’t have any lust, then you don’t.

@abowlofcereal Yes it was the exact same thing with me. But please please, it’s the only way. I didn’t think it was the only way and I tried finding other ways, but this is the only way. We have to face these thoughts and defeat them. We have to ignore them forever. Please, I’m saying the truth , please ignore. It’s hard, but if you have hope and you try, nothing is impossible. So please please try. If you need anything else I’m here

Then it’s not your fault. If you think it is it’s not! It’s not it’s not! You need to try for God, try for God. Please, if you try God will solve everything. God has left it up to you if you want to try or not, please try. For God, for yourself. OCD is an intruder you didn’t invite it over, so if you didn’t then don’t follow the urges, don’t follow the thoughts. They are going to destroy your inner soul. Please please!

@abowlofcereal Thank you so much for trying. Please try to talk to a therapist if you haven’t. A therapist knows a lot more than I do.

I’m really struggling with something related to me ocd, and I would appreciate kind and supportive advice. If you can’t relate or don’t think anything you have to say would be helpful, I kindly ask pls refrain from commenting this is a really sensitive topic for me. Recently, I’ve noticed a pattern that feels something extremely new and distressing. The first time it happened I remember telling myself before self pleasuring that I am in control no matter what thought comes into my mind because I wanted to prove to myself that these thoughts are just from OCD and I know who I am and an intrusive that came out of no where, and i suddenly felt an intense fear that I was acting on it. In the moment I genuinely felt like I did. And afterword, I panicked and started questioning myself. This SAME FEELING has happened three times in a row each time, the intrusive thought was unwanted and random, and completely against my morals most recently it involved pocd and it feels even worse because it generally felt like I acted on it the thought in the moment while I was self pleasuring the panic doesn’t hit until afterwards when I stop :/ I start thinking that maybe I generally made a mistake and I’m now just realizing that it’s wrong because it generally feels like that :( but when I actually think about it again goes against my morals and values doesn’t make sense it feels incredibly real, and I can’t seem to shake this feeling off that I may have acted on it I’m terrified because I never wanted these thoughts in the first place. And I definitely didn’t choose them. If I had known, I would’ve had these intrusive thoughts I wouldn’t have self pleasured in the first place but it’s extremely hard to convince myself that this may be OCD because I feel like I have no other reason to believe that I didn’t act on it :/

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?

Being exposed to taboo p*rn as young as first grade ruined my life and now ocd is making me pay for it. I have so much guilt for being a child/teen and looking at taboo stuff, and it was all fictional or anime or whatever but it was still so so gross. and I didn't realize It because I had been used to it at so young 🫠 I think what haunts me most is when I was a kid/young teen (like 12-14ish) and didn't have access to p*rn I'd imagine stuff similar to what I'd seen in the art. I can't even believe I'd imagine scenarios involving kid characters or whatever because it had been so normalized to me and I assumed it was normal since it was fiction. I'm 23 now so it's been a decade since I've done anything like that and I've never had the urge to since but still. I've NEVER been attracted to kids or had any urges or anything ever, even when I was addicted. The thought makes me want to vomit, I'd rather die than associate anything sexual with kids/minors and I think people who groom or assault kids are vile. But I still feel like the fact that I imagined stuff similar to the things I read sometimes when I was young is proof I'm a p*do. I don't think people would believe me if I said I'm not. I just feel like I don't deserve to live or that if I do, I'm living a lie. I know 'I was a kid too' but even when I was 13/14 I read/imagined stuff with characters younger than me because I thought it was normal. I'm so disgusted. I've had this theme for so long I'm starting to wonder if ocd is right. I feel too ashamed to tell my therapist.
