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.

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

I'm at my college and don't feel like being here. I didn't even want to come here. I woke up with anxiety bc i feel like i need to solve this. I had a bad stomach ache when i arrived to school and still havent even eaten breakfast yet bc i feel like i have to solve this. Im just so worried bc i have harm thoughts daily. If i could i would remove this! I dont want to think anymore. Its just, how do I know i dont have real urges when I'm feeling a negative emotion like anger or disappointment or annoyance? Im worried EVERY time i feel a negative emotion. Yesterday I was playing video games with my neice (we are close in age range) and she made us lose. She started blaming me and I guess i felt a little annoyed, it really wasnt my fault (dumb mini argument it was more playful since we started laughing but it was a bit annoying). Anyway i got a harm thought while feeling annoyed of me getting off the couch and lunging at her to attack. I immediately look at my bodily reaction and I tense up to stay as still as possible. My stomach was hurting and i wanted to leave as fast as possible. I stood up and turned off the game and said i was tired while making sure to stay back from her (and i had my hands away and stiff) but i felt so uneasy. I laid I bed and felt sad and heavy. And i kept getting thoughts that said "íts only a matter of time before you can't take it anymore". I started to reassurance seek using ai to ask if i was about to or if they are real urges or thoughts i mean until i eventually fell asleep in the middle of the compulsion. Im just so worried, what if I act out impulsevly one day? I dont want to! But what if when feeling a negative emotion, i suddenly dont care and do something? I really dont want to! I dont even want to feel negative emotions anymore since they trigger the thoughts and I dont want to think about any of that. As a result i tend to avoid my family as much as possible bc they are annoying sometimes. I just wish i was all alone sometimes so i wont get any more thoughts and so everyone can be safe. I usually just stay in bed under my blankets all day long to avoid my family and pets. I am constantly uncomfortable. I miss when i would never think any of this. Living life has become very scary for me now. 😞

Has it ever happened to you, that you read here or somewhere an experience related to pocd, or similar, and that you felt like groin answers?! Like that was exciting for a second? It really upset me...

I won’t explain this again if you’ve been or going through it you know what I’m talking about. I felt good about women about an hour ago and now I’m worrying again I’m anxious and the groinals are back and it’s so annoying because I can’t study. And honestly I’m so sick and tired of this. I’ve been a girl crazy my whole life and my mind randomly decides “well what if you are gay” like bro. I’ve never seen a guy that way and in general IT WAS NEVER SOMETHING I THOUGHT ABOUT OR ASSOCIATED MYSELF WITH. IVE NEVER FELT ANYTHING TOWARDS A MAN AND NOW IT FEELS LIKE IT RANDOMLY FLIPPED. I CANT DO THIS BRO. WHY WOULD THIS HAPPEN IVE BEEN GOING THROUGH INSECURITIES ALREADY AND MY ATTRACTION WAS THE ONLY REAL THING I HAD LEFT AND NOW THIS. HOW MUCH DO YOU HATE ME GOD.
