ARE THERE MEDICATIONS FOR THE “GROIN SENSATIONS” I would rather never have arousal in my life. Like is there any medications that can just take away arousal altogether? This is annoying I’m over it

I hate that OCD is like that (the square one thing). It feels like a no sum game, an unending labyrinth, even though it isn’t.

I don’t think so.. but I feel it I have to deal with it as well. The best thing is just to recognize it, realize hey this is because of my ocd and try to move on from it and focus on other things I know it’s hard and uncomfortable but I don’t think there’s much you can do.

are you sure? there has to be something... it’s literally annoying me so bad sometimes I feel like I will piss myself in public like wtf sorry tmi but I don’t have many people to talk about this with

I haven’t seen anything on it but regular meds to reduce anxiety and ocd might help because the less you react to the thoughts I think the less your anxiety will sky rocket and cause a groinal response. I haven’t seen anything specifically for it though.

Thank you.. that really helps :( yesterday I really felt like I made progress today I feel back to square one

I’m so sorry you have to deal with this too and that you are at the point where you would rather not experience arousal at all. OCD steals so many positive experiences and years off of our lives. As for medications that decrease arousal, some people do have decreased sexual libido when taking an SSRI, which may be beneficial, as it could also help your anxiety and potentially get rid of the obsessions around arousal. I would talk to your psychiatrist if you have one, and try to find one if you do not. Good luck! :)

When ever I get the groinal I just try and make it a real groinal if that makes sense. That’s always made me feel better and happier
