I could tell you that you did nothing morally wrong, but by providing reassurance it will only make the thoughts worse in the long run. Truth is, there's no way to know how old this lady was, but your response is not indicative of someone seeking CP, and more in line with someone experiencing intrusive thoughts and OCD. Allow the thoughts to be present, but try not to analyze them or try to actively figure out her age. Let the doubt exist without trying to act on it.

Yeah but I literally cannot remember her face and I have a history of false memories right after something triggering happening while trying to mentally review it . Like are my thoughts morally wrong ? When “she’s hot “ popped up. It’s hard letting the thought be , and the stupid image be . Like in rage the image would pop up and I’m a minor and don’t wanna see that shit ! Now I’m scared that’s wrong cuz if she’s a minor she can’t consent to me mentally playing that image it’s weird .

@annonyymouss Our brains are weird. They produce random thoughts all the time to fill in the gaps. Certain thoughts are triggered by certain things (association). Also, the beauty of thoughts is that they mean absolutely nothing and hold no gravity in the real world.

@LMB034 Like idk if I actually thought she’s hot . Like then I was like oh shit wait the face looked kinda youngish . But my first thought was “she’s hot “ it’s so scary

@LMB034 Like it’s a common phobia of mine to be scared of how old people are . They’re usually over 18 or are 18 but I panic.

@annonyymouss Like people can be anywhere between 16-20 and look the same.

@annonyymouss Stop trying to figure out her age and whether or not you found her hot. Just accept that you had the thought, and acknowledge that it was just a thought. It's obviously bothering you so it's safe to just say it's an intrusive thought. It will bother you for a while, but by allowing it to just exist it will take the power and fear associated with the thought away

@annonyymouss Evolutionary speaking, we are geared to seek reproduction with those who are the most fertile. Realistically, young usually equates fertility.. therefore normal to find those with a youthful appearance attractive.
