Orgasms can happen. For example when you have a wet dream from intrusive thoughts. I actually typed this before I read @jl455289's quote. Very good.

"But, what about those who feel more than just a twinge or a swelling during or after unwanted thoughts, images or impulses? What about those who feel arousal or even experience an unwanted orgasm related to these thoughts? Some would assume this arousal is evidence of some type of denial or unconscious desires. This could not be further than the truth" reread that section.

So label it as OCD and dont reassure yourself. The more unacceptable you find your thoughts, the more intrusive they will become. Ive been there. Testing yourself to see if it is genuine is just another form of reassurance. It led me to more uncertainty.

(Obviously you did) so think to yourself what that implies. If it was truly you, you wouldn't be feeling the guilt/doubt you are feeling.

I've had an orgasm because of a sexually intrusive dream. I went from dreaming about sleeping with girls and waking up satisfied and full of hope, to having sexually intrusive dreams and waking up sobbing in horror. Also, what's TMI?

Thank you guys. I don’t know how something that feels so wrong can feel so real. It’s really wearing me out. Knowing I’m not alone with this really helps me. My dreams are also horrific, but they only happen whenever I’m giving too much power to my OCD. During recovery (and I was almost free of symptoms) I didn’t have such dreams and sensations, but now I have a relapse and it’s worse than before. I guess it’s because this time I let my OCD convince me too much. I’m giving in to nearly every compulsion, thinking about every thought too much and feeling like giving up. The groinal responses are the worst part of it at the moment. But knowing it happened/still happens to someone else and that it’s a common symptom and NOT proof for my sexuality convinces me to keep fighting. I really am sorry that you have to go through the same stuff. This shit is scary as hell and sadly very convincing. I guess for feeling better you have to be convinced that no matter what you’re thinking or feeling, you’re still a good person and worth it. And that it’s not the real you. But it’s hard, it really is.

@figuringitallo men, fortunately, get multiple erections per night. Sometimes I've awaken to erections after having really weird dreams. What was troubling to me was that they'd turn "wet". Just now I was walking past this cute girl. She was looking at me and smiled when I looked back. I felt this pleasant tickle or butterflies if you will. Things like that happen and I know I'm into girls, but that's reassurance...

It does a little bit, but does it mean you can also get orgasms from intrusive thoughts?

The author warns to not use the article as reassurance so read the end, too.

“this could not be further than the truth” does it mean people who feel real arousal are in denial?

I know reassurance isn’t a solution to all of this but right now I just need it :(

It means it has nothing to do with your desire.

Did you experience anxiety/guilt?

Really relate to this. I’ll feel some kind of GR, then I’ll test the thought again, and I feel nothing, I get into a nasty cycle of testing. And yes, GR’s can be more than just a twitch. Part of what’s exacerbated my OCD is when I’ve had sexually intrusive dreams and feeling aroused, and when I got an erection at a really inconvenient time. (Sorry if that’s TMI)

“Too much information” - sorry, should’ve clarified! Thanks for sharing that story. Im really in that place now, struggling. My dreams have gotten really bad, and I can’t decide whether or not it’s OCD or really me. Waking up with an erection to them is what’s really doing me in. It makes it feel real and wanted. @deputydean

@deputydean yuuuuuppp. That’s always the scariest. That same thing happens to me, when I feel actual attraction to an adult I’m like “why are you even obsessing?! You clearly aren’t what you fear.”

17f I was taking a bus and there was a group of children taking it too, like a kindergarten group. I tried to find a place where I thought children are not going to sit but one sat next to me anyway And the thing is that when I need to pee I become a bit physically aroused? Idk I've googled it and it's not that uncommon. Also the vibration from the bus gives me a bit of a groinal response yk since I sit on a seat which vibrates I mean I wasn't even really aroused that much it was a light sensation which was easy to ignore because I was on my phone But im scared I'm like a predator or something cause I didn't leave the bus immediately and had a groinal response when the kid was next to me I dont worry that it was the kid who was the reason of it (I mean not yet maybe I will freak out about it later) I'm just scared it's not appropriate to feel something like that while im next to a child even if he is not the reason of it But I tried to just ignore it and thought that I'm probably being dramatic After couple stops I got too anxious and got off the bus to wait to the next one which I hoped is not going to be full of kids But I'm scared that I'm a bad person and a sexual predator cause I didn't leave immediately after I had this thoughts While writing this post I got on another bus and sat at a seat but there js a child on the bus too not next to me but still not that far from me but I'm scared because of social anxiety people will look at me weirdly if I randomly change seats after I already sat but at the same time what if I'm being a pervert Like I don't even see the kid and stuff but still I'm scared am I a pervert or something Like is it predatory to be aroused near a child? Like the child is not the reason of it, u just are, and I wadnt purposely making myself aroused I just couldn't really help it But maybe I should've left the bus immediately? I mean I did but only after a couple stops because I thought that maybe is not that much of a big deal and I'm being dramatic

TW Just saw a judge video where a girl was complaining about a mom suing her for money when her mom is her agent and gives her younger sister (at 17 years old) better work because they exploit her body and THEY SHOWED PICTURES. I saw it and was like “oh my gosh is that actually what I think it is?” Then after realizing it’s like I was too shocked to look away. What is bothersome is that I wasn’t immediately repulsed enough to turn it off and didn’t immediately do so and when the picture kept showing up it’s like I kept looking at it to make sure what I saw was actually what I saw. Also, the false memory is hitting hard because now I’m wondering if I had intrusive thoughts judging her body. Now I feel like a perv and pedo 😭 It’s like I’m anxious over not being anxious enough about the situation while actually being incredibly anxious. I don’t if that made ANY sense but someone please help. I will say my mind was already incredibly vulnerable because of burnout and other very stressful events recently. Still, I feel terrible and feel I deserve to be in jail.

i've been very sad these days, i saw a child on TikTok and i had thoughts calling her hot, it seemed like i liked it and i was very anxious and very scared. i cried a lot, i kept replaying the video several times because it seemed like i was attracted to her and only when i was sure that I wasn't attracted to her i skip the video. but then i went to watch the videos of this kid again to see if i was really attracted or not again and i got nervous about being attracted to her "chest" and i kept looking to see if I was really attracted or not 😭 i wasn't, but one thought scared me a lot, which was "you were only attracted because it looked like an adult's chest." i was very nervous, i cried a lot because of this. I'm not attracted to children, I never have been, why does it seem like i am? i don't want to look at children anymore, im too nervous. i'm not attracted to her, all of this makes me sick and sad, it's all very uncomfortable and scary. but I've been questioning myself a lot about the last thought, i can't stop questioning myself. every time i see a child my brain asks if i'm attracted to them or if i think they're pretty. i can't stop crying (sorry for any mistakes I'm using a translator)
