People who have made great progress in treatment for SOOCD, do you still feel doubt or have ocd doubtful thoughts when engaging in intimacy with your partner? Part of me knows that I haven't made enough progress with physical intimacy because my ocd has made me avoid it for so long, and that's why I'm so used to immediately having doubts when I do. But another part of me just wishes that the fact that I am trying to engage in intimacy again means I should be able to fully enjoy it too. I just get so defeated sometimes:(

Yes I made good progress in recovery but still have my doubts here and there and a lot stems from intimacy and what arouses me! I still get doubtful thoughts and especially when I have very little anxiety I often get the thoughts/feelings that “im accepting im gay/lesbian” or “know it” I still try to not respond with compulsions though and let it pass as I know I’ve been through it and had these thoughts before and I ended up okay
