@arcticoconut Thank you ☺️ but it’s actually because I haven’t even really watched porn before and I feel like I had a bunch of sexual thoughts and images pop into my head. I’m still pushing through though :) thank you again!!

I don't watch porn at all but I've suffered from intrusive sexual thoughts since I was 14 or younger

This is very true. I had a random thought about a video my wife would divorce me over if I watched again, even though I havent thought about it for months. Its been echoing in my mind and its been disturbing and distracting. I've simply just been ignoring it even though doing so gives me anxiety. Much better then the shame, guilt and self disappointment from if I was to act on it. Thats a hell id never recover from, this anxiety is simply a momentary inconvenience. Ive decided to only do things that will feed my soul in beneficial ways, and got myself to grow board of born a while ago to settle the urge. Truth is, if something isnt working, try another way. That is especially true with watching porn. Its only proven to prolong the issues and by any standard, it isnt something I have ever needed in my life. Its like smoking cigs, nothing but an impulsive addiction to reach a high or state of relaxation. If you feel it killing you and damaging your quality of life, let it go and breath easy. This advice to just stop is true. Absolutly worth the steps on the road to recovery

I’m working hard on that! Because it helps when I don’t look at it but it’s become a coping mechanism for me so it’s been really hard :/

Wow
more advice for sexual/pocd sufferers I read somewhere that if you hyperfocus too much on your body's reactions to intrusive thoughts, you're unwillingly just making it intensify the sensations. Your body, after enduring severe anxiety and stress from sexual obsessions, will now just react to anything sexual that comes into your mind, whether forced or randomly. It can happen in any way. OCD makes anything possible, and is driven by fear. Knowing this I realized, it doesnt matter at this point, and to let it happen. And you guys should too. Remember what your real values and desires are. It can feel as real as it gets, but it is still not you.

OCD and sex
Hi everyone I could really use some help on this topic. It’s hard to admit and talk about but after being on here I see that I’m not the only one! Still I would love some support and advice with how to deal with those unwanted sexual thoughts. For me it’s so uncomfortable and honestly gross when sexual thoughts get out of hand with normal people and also do extremely out of hand that even loved ones get involved. Like when I watch tv and all of a sudden I have these gross thoughts that I know if I accept they will go away but how can you accept something so gross? Would love some help!
