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.
What do groinal responses feel like to u
For me it’s like a sensation in my private are or even like a pulse
@Whyyocd area*
Any feeling or reaction in the groinal area is a groinal response it can feel like anything.
@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.
@NihonWarrior516 Omg I’ve felt that too!!! It felt like that when my anxiety was most high because the feeling was constant
@Whyyocd Yeah sometimes it will literally last for hours
But mine feels like I’m turned on
I’ve felt that too
But I only get aeoused by men
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.
@NihonWarrior516 Yes I think so!
@Whyyocd What exposures did u do
@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
So do women still turn u on now
Yeah sometimes I’ll still get the feeling of being turned on but it’s a lot less now.
