Yeah same here I am always checking to see if there’s anything going on and focusing on groinal responses. People just say to not focus on it but it’s not that easy lol.

@Whyyocd For me it’s like the feeling you get before I need to use the bathroom but I don’t have to use the bathroom.

For like 2-3 months when this first started I was getting a lot of groinal responses to women (in person, social media, intrusive images). I literally felt like I had no attraction for my boyfriend. I couldn’t get aroused. I felt like I didn’t even find any guy handsome. I’ve been getting a lot of spontaneous exposure since I’m in college and my anxiety has finally gone down a good amount. And I also get less groinal responses. Anddd I definitely get aroused by my boyfriend now. I honestly believe anxiety and depression has a lotttt to do with how we feel. Even sexually. And we hyper focus on things too. Like our arrousal.

@Whyyocd Yeah attraction wavers when anxiety is at its worst and comes back and goes so frequently but pretty much never 100% I’m guessing that’s what a full recovery would look like.

@Anonymous Rn I wrote a short story basically about me having intrusive thoughts/images/and scenarios about a specific girl and then not being able to “hold myself back” and so I ask her out. I realize I have feeling for her and that I’m sexually attracted to her. So I break up with my bf and everyone I know sees me differently. And then while being with the girl I realize I’m actually not lesbian at all and that I lost the person I loved and he fell in love with someone else. I read it every day (30 times). and I’m also in college so I see women all the time. I also go to the gym. I also watched the WAP video every day lolll

Groinal hyperawareness
Can anyone help me to stop groinal hyperawareness when exposing myself to triggering images?? Every time I look at them I get groinal hyperawareness and it’s such a pain that every time I look I can feel literally everything down there😔

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 question.
My main theme is SOOCD and with my flare up the groinal response goes crazy. Does anyone else get the groinal response for literally anything? Like faces, looking at body parts, being in close proximity to someone of the same gender, or when you’re literally just anxious, stuff like that. I think it’s maybe bc of the automatic checking. Like i’ll see a woman on social media, immediately get anxious (sometimes), and start checking everything. TRIGGER WARNING for anyone with another theme!!!!!! This makes me feel so disgusting to type out. I don’t want to think about it for too long before I trigger another theme. Like sometimes it happens with my own family members. It makes me feel so disgusting. Can anyone relate?
