Yeah it’s still intrusive. Same thing happens to me. It’ll show a kid. Not even sexual but I just know the meaning behind it. Yk?

Ocd can present itself in any way, it just wants to get a reaction out of you

Yes. Intrusive thoughts don't have to be sexual in nature. Sometimes I have ones that are just annoying because they won't go away, not because of the specific content.

That is exactly what happened to me, I couldn’t stop thinking about a child (one I know) but that’s all it was and then it led me to have more intrusive thoughts because I couldn’t figure out why I was just thinking of that

Yeah omg, lately my intrusive thoughts are literally about a random child that I saw on the internet and it’s just that

Help, Meta OCD/POCD?
I’ve been feeling the urge to avoid intimacy or purposefully engage (for reassurance that I won’t give into a compulsion) because of intrusive thoughts and fear that I’ll “check/test” my reactions. My OCD is making me so scared that I’ll purposefully think of a child and try to see if I like it. It’s so complicated but I guess I’m mentally checking if I would mentally check during intimacy. I’ve even envisioned myself checking and it’s making me so nauseous. I know it’s a compulsion like any other but the sound of “touching yourself to the thought of a child” sounds atrocious and vile. I’m terrified I’ll automatically start checking next time I am being intimate. I truly feel so worried. If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate hearing your experience. Or if anyone has any advice?

Help please
How is this OCD? Who with Pocd thinks about a naked child ???? I was over here thinking if I’m actually attracted to kids because I find some of them good looking you know and my little cousin I have thoughts about her too and I was thinking about her naked but I wasn’t aroused or nothing so that’s where I’m confused It was intentional so does that make me a p*do?

POCD without guilt or shame
I am 15 years old and my POCD feels like its not POCD, i feel like i like my intrusive thoughts, but i have more intrusive thoughts about having intrusive thoughts, and i feel like i cant enjoy the things i normally enjoy anymore, like calling with my girlfriend and joking with her because this is still in the back of my mind, its making me question morals and if i ever even viewed P as completely wrong and i hate this so much, i love my nieces and nephews and when they're over i know id never do anything with my intrusive thoughts but when they arent present i feel like i like my thoughts. Before this i was dealing with HOCD and ROCD and i wish i could go back to that
