Hey guys I know ocd brains don’t respond to logic but if you have a sexual obsession I heard that your body reacts to what is sexually relevant rather what is desired.

I know that there is that moment of groin and the feeling of "sexual" excitement in all ocd topics related to it... But when the therapist says that it is fake, and that the body reacts like that out of fear, or because it is a sexual topic, I can't accept it! My brain says, you have groin and excitement when you imagine your sister in such scenes, how can I accept that as a normal reaction and let those thoughts and feelings go?

What irritates me the most is that during intimacy with my husband, it happens that OCD puts an image and scene in my head, my sister or someone for whom my OCD is attached and it's literally as if that intimacy is happening with that person, and it seems real that I can and it's exciting! I'm working on ERP during that, but it's still hard to digest... I don't know if it's the same for you?

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.
