I have very similar feelings sometimes and it makes me feel awful. I haven't said this thought out loud to anyone but I met my boyfriends sister for the first time and she has a lovely girl who's 2/3. At one point my bf and his sister had to go to the car to sort something and I was left with her. My thoughts straight away were "what are you doing? You can't trust me with her! I'll touch her". Even wrighting these words out I feel awwwwful. Absolutely awful. This is not how I feel at all and I would never ever do it but I also felt like I'd done something incredibly wrong...

So sorry you are going through this. It’s horrible to feel this way and have these thoughts and question your existence and character.

Apparently many people who do not have OCD thoughts or are non pedophiles experience those thoughts and urges but they shake em off because they know they couldn’t or wouldn’t do it and move on. We fixate and try to find meaning in the thought and urges and ourselves.

Yes yes yes I experience this. We have to remember those thoughts are not us. Its the OCD.

I feel like I have always felt this way Like can’t watch a baby’s diaper being changed. Have made sure that when I babysit the kid(s) are potty trained and can wipe themselves. I have had friends who I doubt have OCD like my best friend when we worked in preschool childcare, who also once made a comment like “ I don’t want to be alone in the bathroom with any of these kids because I don’t want anyone to say I did something” so people do have those thoughts and are normal I suppose it’s just we latch on to these things and ruminate and questions the thoughts or urges when they come up. We don’t just move along. This is my take on that.

That's put things into a really fresh perspective for me, and I'm going to try and remember that next time something like that happens x

Okay, so I was exposed to porn at 9. My older cousin came over to the house and asked if I could keep a secret and stuff and then he showed me porn. I got addicted to it ngl. I would watch it whenever I could and would always think about it when I wasn’t home. Because of this, I started reading mangas on this one website and I was still in elementary school when I started reading these I think, either that or middle school. Anyways, there was this one about these kids who did it and I was like oh I’m the same age as them and all that you know so I didn’t think much of it. I would still read it up to when I was in high school but I wouldn’t like read it often, I would just read it because I was familiar with it and it felt like I was still their age for some reason, like I didn’t see them as kids you know, it felt like they were my age. Oh my god, that makes it sound even worse. When my POCD started, I stopped reading that story because I was it terrified me so a little before I turned 18. I keep going back and forth on whether or not I’m actually a pedophile or not. I don’t know if it’s because I was exposed to that stuff so early and my cousin would constantly talk about sex when he was with me. I thought it was so normal to be reading and looking at that stuff. I didn’t realize. I’m scared that my nephews are going to be exposed to that so early like I was. My POCD mostly targets my nephews and now I’m scared that I’ll do the same thing to them and show them that stuff (I never will) or that I genuinely do like that stuff. I feel like throwing up while writing this. I just don’t want to be one. I’m sorry if this triggers you or if this seems like I’m seeking reassurance and maybe I am. I genuinely don’t know right now. I think I just needed to get this off my chest because I’ve been worrying about it for awhile.

I feel disgusted saying this, but I think my ocd attacks younger kids that look pretty or something (not attractive),, and it makes me feel attracted, even saying this makes me feel like a pred, and I feel really grossed out, I feel like a bad person for even suggesting such a thing and I’m spiraling. Please help…

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?
