My groinal response feel like real arousal I’m scared

What is it wxactly

Exactly

Feels like real arousal like I’m turned on

No one else feels like that with ocd

I do, I feel aroused when I stressed then act on it by masterbating to calm me down

What are you aroused about? Is it bad ?

Gay thoughts

I don’t want to be

Exactly u think I’m hay

Gay

Sorry I wasn’t ignoring you.

Would it be that bad to be gay?

So u think I am

What arouses u

All sorts, currently girls between 13 and 16

No not all all

Does it arouse u

I’ve got a girlfriend who I want to be with but I’m scared cuz I get aroused by the thoughts

Yes it does, my wife and I sometime talk about it during sex, both getting aroused by it

There isn’t anything wrong with being gay or bi.

So do u get more aroused by women or men

I know there isn’t but I want to get aeoused by women

Do women turn you in at all?

I’ll be back in a bit, got to get dressed and wash etc

Not at the moment I really am gay aren’t I

I don’t think they ever did 😭

Well maybe it’s a good idea to accept you may be gay. If women do not turn you on at all and never have. Please remember though, every person has a right to feel comfortable with who they are. It’s ok to be gay. People who have a problem with it arnt worth your time. People who really care about you, care about you because you are you

You shouldn’t say that, you won’t tell people with pocd that it’s okay to like children. He knows it’s okay to be gay but he specifically isn’t. It’s ocd.

@Zoe How do you know he’s not gay?

@Change777 Not everything can be labelled Ocd

@Change777 Shit I know I am

@Change777 Because it’s ocd, people with pocd aren’t pedos, it’s the same thing.

@Change777 You say you have so ocd on your profile, how can’t you understand this?

@Zoe I do understand it totally

So I think I am gay

U

Could this be ocd tricking me to think this way I’ve been going through this for ages

Yes it can. There is sexuality based OCD too.

Thank u

You're welcome. Really anything can become a OCD theme.

But y the arousal people with ocd don’t feel aroused by their intrusive thoughts

Yes they can. It's called non-concordant arousal. Happens with a lot of sexual based themes. Your body can react with arousal even if you yourself do not desire it. You just have to learn to let it be and be like "I'm having arousal and that's okay." It doesn't have to have a meaning, sometimes we get aroused if something is really cute to us or if a sexual thought pops up. It's not a indication of your true desire.

I’m not a professional at all, would be good to get some clarification on this. To me it is possible for it to be both. Very complexed issue I hope you find the answers

I know but I only feel arousal towards them thoughts when I want it to be the other way around

This phenomenon can make it harder to get aroused to what you actually desire.

It's okay It's ocd it makes it feel real

That’s true

Groinal responses are a symptom of OCD. OCD wants it to feel as real as possible to get you hooked in the cycle of rumination. Don’t fall for it. Don’t try and work out if it’s real arousal or not. OCD wants you stay trapped

But it feels like real arousal

All the time

That’s ok. You need to accept the sensations and get on with your day. Do not try and figure it out. Disengage every time ocd tries to latch on

Ok thank u so much

So could it be real arousal
