I know. I’ve been doing that. Ive been in ERP for a little while now. Still hard tho you know what I mean. When a sexual organ gets aroused it makes you think you actually like it, but I know I have to sit with that uncertainty, even when it seems really realistic.

Well the other guy told me to sit with distress in response to what I said originally which I then responded to with my second comment, but yeah in ERP you expose yourself to triggers so your anxiety levels raise and then you sit with those feelings, emotions, and thoughts while not engaging in compulsions in an effort to train your brain to not respond to the thoughts

ERP with sensations
Hi guys, I wanted to ask, how would you go about doing ERP when your problems aren't mainly thoughts anymore but rather physical sensations and stuff? The thoughts do still bother me from time to time but I struggle far more with groinal responses and all, so I wanted to ask if anyone has any tips on what to do when your OCD manifests itself as more of an uncomfortable feeling than thoughts themselves.

Trigger warning!!!
TW - Groinal Responses 18+ Also tmi As of the last week or two, I have no idea why or how, but the groinal responses have gotten so, so much worse... Today was so bad... And I'm still having a very hard time. Like, I don't even know if I want to say how bad it really is. It's beyond just obsessing about it; I have to try to distract myself so something doesn't actually happen from the groinal response (I'm intentionally being vague bc I don't want to say much about the situation). I'm seriously struggling... and I don't know what to do or how it can change... This is tmi too, but years ago I had another issue regarding groinal responses. And even just the thought of it made my body do something I would have thought couldn't have happened just from thinking and worrying about it happening [the thing my body did back then isn't as distressing as I'm worried about my body doing now] (and yes, I'm intentionally being vague again) My mind and body are very against me right now...

Groinal response
Has anyone else ever had a groinal response that they physically can’t tell apart from real arousal??? I have had it the past few days and when I’m genuinely aroused the initial stages feel exactly the same as groinal response and it’s making me so depressed 😔
