My whole life Iāve kind of stared at peopleās crotches whenever theyāre wearing something revealing a bikini. I feel like Iāve always searched to see if I can see an outline or something or anything because itās so revealing. It kind of feels like curiosity I donāt know how to describe it. I did this before my OCD got bad and I do this now. I feel scared that Iām doing something I shouldnāt be. Iām scared that Iām doing something perverted. What scares me the most is that about a year ago this happened with my boyfriend sister. She was 15 at the time. I didnāt think much about it. I stared, searched and moved on. But now I really question if I did something awful or if my intentions were perverted. Iām questioning whether itās okay to even have curiosity about this. Maybe this is normal and people donāt analyze their behavior, I donāt know. I had a theory that this has been a compulsion all along but right now it feels fully out the window. I havenāt been able to stop crying. I really need someoneās input or perspective. Please.

i've been very sad these days, i saw a child on TikTok and i had thoughts calling her hot, it seemed like i liked it and i was very anxious and very scared. i cried a lot, i kept replaying the video several times because it seemed like i was attracted to her and only when i was sure that I wasn't attracted to her i skip the video. but then i went to watch the videos of this kid again to see if i was really attracted or not again and i got nervous about being attracted to her "chest" and i kept looking to see if I was really attracted or not š i wasn't, but one thought scared me a lot, which was "you were only attracted because it looked like an adult's chest." i was very nervous, i cried a lot because of this. I'm not attracted to children, I never have been, why does it seem like i am? i don't want to look at children anymore, im too nervous. i'm not attracted to her, all of this makes me sick and sad, it's all very uncomfortable and scary. but I've been questioning myself a lot about the last thought, i can't stop questioning myself. every time i see a child my brain asks if i'm attracted to them or if i think they're pretty. i can't stop crying (sorry for any mistakes I'm using a translator)

I get thoughts of kids Whever I think or see an image of someone my age, like for example today I saw a bikini pic of a girl my age and it randomly reminded me of a pic of a kid in a bikini I saw a month ago, is this a sign of something bad? My thought usually come up when I think abt someone my age Iām into, and they also feel like Iām purposely thinking of them, Iām not sure if it intrusive thoughts or not, it feels difficult to figure out. These thoughts also donāt distress me anymore, idk if it means something bad or not, but I do not wish to be a pedo, I hope to eventually have a relationship with a girl my age. Alongside all of that, sometimes when I see a kid I get a sense of attraction, but Iām not sure if it is false or not, to me it feels so real, but I donāt wanna be attracted to kids. Iāve just started therapy, Iām currently trying to find a way to get a diagnosis, I really hope Iām not diagnosed as a pedo. Ik that false attraction comes with negative emotion, but I donāt feel negative emotion when I get what I hope is false attraction, I keep trying to figure out if what Iām feeling is false or true because I donāt feel negative emotions, it makes me worried that itās real and that I really am a pedo. Not looking for reassurance but can someone tell me if these are pure o ocd symptoms or something actually bad?
