i understand the fear! but there is a difference between actively forcing someone to watch something against their will and you watching a show while your sis voiced discomfort in the background but didn't specify what she wanted you to do exactly (i.e. turn off the show, change the program, etc.) ocd likes to think in extremes and fixate on situations we wish could have gone differently so we gotta remind ourselves to be realistic and accept these experiences as part of growing. take care!

I mean I kinda want to but I’m also panicking cuz I can’t remember if she said to change the channel or not . I’d also watch it during her turn by being like “he’s the devil it’s a cool show “ or something like that till she’s like “ugh fine!”

@lucy.wilefirr When that happened , I was treating her like a normal girl when I shouldn’t have . She just has difficulty controlling emotions and mimicks whatever I say for approval . But back then it didn’t occur to me that she may not have had a choice

@lucy.wilefirr ah i see i see- do you know how she feels about those times nowadays? i know that would probably be considered compulsory reassurance seeking but if she isn't really bothered or doesn't even remember you shouldn't be too hard on yourself :o after all, you didn't know how to best treat her at the time.

@draw2cope Idk how she feels about that . She seemed pissed off and annoyed more than anything. I’m really scared it was sexual abuse though. And if it’s sexual abuse then it wouldn’t matter if she remembers it. I looked up criteria for sexual abuse and forcing kids to listen to sexual talk is sexual abuse and I’m really scared that’s what happened

@lucy.wilefirr hmmm well i don't believe so 🤔🤔 i'm a survivor of child sexual abuse myself and there's specific criteria that needs to be met for it to be considered abuse by law

@draw2cope Yeah the article was vague . I have a tendency to interpret stuff to the extreme . Like I remember I read another sexual abuse article saying looking behaviour between children in a 3 year age gap is child sexual abuse . I’m 17 and I remember glancing at a 14 year old and thinking they were attractive (they looked older ) and my brain was like “oh you abused them “

@lucy.wilefirr oh goodness- i wonder how credible that article is because that does not sound grounded in reality at all 😭😭 but i understand the struggle!

@draw2cope I think it was referring to leering at a child but I misunderstood it ? That’s probably what happened here too. Idk . I’m just horrified at the prospect of being a sexual abuser

@lucy.wilefirr ahhh yeah it would make more sense if they meant it in a "peeping Tom" sense, but just observing someone not much younger than you and finding them attractive isn't abusive no :o i totally get where you're coming from though because i struggle with the same theme 😔✊

I’ve been dealing with a lot of anxiety and uncertainty I think I’m really struggling right now. I was in my alone time (self pleasure) and obviously like whenever you’re doing your thing you might have fantasies or whatever and that’s what came into my mind in the moment and then all of a sudden I get a flashback from a scene from pretty little liars came into my mind where Emily kisses Ali on the neck. In pilot actor who played Allison was 12 years old, which the pilot was the first episode I believe but in the rest of the season of season one she was 13 and that flashback was in season one as well after the pilot and I’m really worried that I might have self pleasure to myself to that scene even though I knew all this time that she was 13 in that scene and I don’t feel comfortable because I’m 16 and even though like it’s not too much of an age gap it’s still polished me and I’m scared to death right now, but I didn’t panic immediately because I think I somewhat kinda knew in the moment that I probably didn’t do anything bad but I am not 100% sure and then the more I thought about it, I started to panic even more and now I’m panicking even more now and I feel like a really big pedo, and I keep searching and googling and trying to check for her age to see how old she was in that scene and I’m pretty sure she was 13 but I promise I wasn’t intentionally thinking oh yeah I’m gonna self pressure myself to this scene regardlessof her age. No, I’m just afraid I probably did without even like realizing or registering the thought in my mind, but then at the same time I kind of feel like maybe I was just coexisting with a thought and now I’m scared I’m really scared guys.

I’m a csa survivor which made me develop hypersexuality while actually being a asexual individual. (Where I did CP and talked to groomers and sexted, ect ect) A few months ago I’ve started to heal, but the fact that I’ve seen so many private parts since I was idk, young? I imagine them everywhere, it’s really frustrating and sometimes I also get intrusive thoughts about other kids or my siblings. It’s deeply distributing but I also kind of think of it from a curious kind of aspect which I despise too. Honestly I have a hard time with any kid in underwear, my intrusive thoughts have been ALOT the last months and they’re really really overwhelming. I also easily go into overanalysing them or even trying to figure out more clearer the thoughts to “test myself”. I think, I hope. Idk it’s scary

Why are things so real the first time they’re in my mind and then when I think about it later it’s easier for me to be like wtf?? I was watching a movie earlier and the young girl had developed more in the chest area than the last movie and I felt the desire to check her out so I did. Then later I let myself imagine her having sex and I liked it. But now looking back I’m like ew. The boys in the movie have also developed as the movie went on and I couldn’t help but think that in their real life they’ve probably woken up to boners and s*men and stuff. And looking back it’s just ugh. Idk if it’s sexual relevance but I genuinely let myself indulge in these thoughts and groinal responses and I remember thinking to myself I don’t want to be attracted to little kids and how do I stop myself (everyone has attractive qualities so in younger boys I see man like qualities). Idk I need help. I wouldn’t type this out if I truly believe I was messed up but I’m still scared
