does anyone have intrusive thoughts about animals? I saw a video years ago on Twitter of a dog performing a sexual act on a human (disgusting I know) but sometimes I see my dog and I think about it and it makes me very uncomfortable and not want to lay down with him because I just imagine that happening to me and how disturbing that is

YES. and it makes you question everything. Do you also feel like you need to confess it to someone because you feel so guilty. Like I feel like I need to tell my mom because I feel so guilty and ashamed

I’ve had this same exact one!

I have zoophilia ocd, and it disturbs me a lot because of much I love animals. I remember that my earliest memory of experiencing my ocd was after watching a video of people uncovering a zoo sadism ring, and the chat logs has disturbed me so much. I remember how much anxiety I felt and my thoughts of “what if you’re attracted to animals too? Maybe you’re capable of something like that.” Ever since then I did mental compulsions like checking arousal, ruminating, and even avoiding my pets because I was so anxious. I had a horrible panic attack after someone had posted a video of someone having sex with a hamster on a discord server, and I still have a intrusive images from that. Therapy helps a lot for me. I’ve done a lot of exposures that have helped tons.

I’ve also had this exact one!!!and i remember i was so disturbed but my mind keeps saying “oh you were aroused by it” like 😑 i hate my brain sometimes

Was it of a dog licking a woman and she’s moaning ? BECAUSE I CANNOT GET THAT VIDEO OUT OF MY HEAD . & I fear I’d hurt my dogs the exact same way , I was avoiding them at first , and got over that compulsion but now I simply cannot break through the cycle , I was doing ok for two weeks & last night it flared & i got scared all over again

Idk if your still active but I also suffer with this. At one point when I was 13-14 (about 3-4 years ago) it got so bad to where I watched a video of an animal being aroused and was turned on by it. I don’t have any attraction to animals tho I think it’s awful and sick afterward I felt awful and haven’t felt that way again or done that again but I still feel like a zoophile even though I would never do or enjoy something like that. I also want to mention it’s not something I have to stop myself from doing I genuinely don’t want to but the fact that I did really disturbs me.
