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.”

Every time I go to bed late and I’m falling asleep, I suddenly get an intrusive thought of a child’s face and my groinal area always responds to it. It’s such an uncomfortable experience. I am way too tired to try and freak out so I end up falling asleep. The next morning I’m always trying to figure out whether I had the groinal response first or after the thought. I start giving OCD power but it feels like If I let it go, then I’m in denial or whatever. I don’t want to ever do anything sexual with a child. I don’t even feel comfortable talking platonically with people who are 17, much less a child. My therapist says that I have a deep rooted fear that I’m this horrible person and that OCD loves to feed off of it. When you get a groinal response, it makes the thought that much more real. I never want these things to happen. I want to only be into adults. It’s so discomforting and stressful. Especially since I’m hyper checking how anxious I am, and if I find I didn’t really have much anxiety, then I’m like “well if I didn’t have anxiety, what does this mean?” And more questions occur til I end up in a rabbit hole

Does anyone else when they have the thoughts, they feel against it, but they still get arousal or tenglings sensations in the groinal area? Because this is what I experienced today and I feel like crap. This is going to be very triggering for a lot of you, but there are a lot of times that I notice things from kids. For example, there is a thirteen year old kid who looks very developed for her age, and I take notice of (and this already sounds creepy to me) her chest. Today with my thoughts, I imagined as if I were touching it, and although I usually "no no or "I don't want to do that", she is a kid, etc., I still get responses in my groinal area, and It felt very real. Even now, I feel as though I am faking it, even though I groan 😮💨 from it, and feel as though I am a fraud. Does anyone relate?
