Right here, I cant stand the thought of being around kids.

Thank you for commenting! I've never had an issue with this until fairly recently. I became obsessed with the idea that I could do something horrible to a child (not obsessing about doing something, but that I COULD do something). Now I have gronial responses, which are extra confusing because I've alway identified as asexual. I used to volunteer with kids and never had this, but now I feel like a monster.

I wish I was asexual, I'm at a point where I dont trust myself with having sexuality anymore. Its chemical castration or bust for me. I feel like a monster too, I've read so many articles on sexual abuses of all kinds from every imaginable background. I'm pretty much convinced theres a sexual demon present in all of humanity. The least I can do is just never let myself fall into dangerous territory

I identify as asexual too, and now that I have this fear, I keep thinking “what if I’m not actually asexual, what if I’m really just attracted to kids??” It’s really messing with me.

wewillgett..... I feel the EXACT same way. That's almost, word for the word, the same thought process I have. It drives me nuts.

I've had intrusive sexual thoughts since I was 14, it's not really that out of nowhere. I dont consider it extreme and unnecessary, as all I lose is the ability to get it up, something I can live without

Anyone else develop it in their 30s? I’m 33 and just started showing symptoms in October 2024. So far have only been diagnosed with GAD , PD and depression.I started having intrusive thoughts after a series of panic attacks . My compulsions would be googling. I have made an effort to stop though because it only makes me feel worse. My intrusive thoughts have been around fear of going crazy

Trying not to seek reassurance, but rather connect the dots on my OCD and possible reasons as to why I am the way I am. I have severe OCD (or at least I hope I do) mainly surrounding POCD. I've had symptoms of OCD the majority of my life but this theme has come up more recently. When I was a kid, and i'm talking 6-7, I was first exposed to some really gross adult content online. It was introduced to me by a friend of mine around the same age of me. I saw some really disgusting things that a 6-7 year old should definitely not see. This was not a one time occurrence, as I had been exposed to taboo topics online years to come after that, such as the same friend introducing me to Omegle... And i'm sure you can imagine how that went, theres a lot of genuinely disgusting human beings on there. Coming back to the reason for making this post; is it possible to early exposure to this content could be one of the reasons I struggle with POCD? It genuinely scares me to death because you hear that real p*dos dealt with simular situations when they were kids, so thats kind of making me feel that this could be more than OCD, and I could be a genuinely bad person. My POCD feels so real, that at times i'm fully convinced its not OCD. Sometimes I can't even distinguish the feelings of attraction between a younger person and an older person, except for the feeling of anxiety and fear. Its really hard to explain without going into detail, but it just feels so real. Some feedback on this would be great, thank you all.

I look back at all past interactions with others and think “what if they were a minor” even though there is no particular reason to think that they were. Is that a common obsession with Pocd? Has anyone else had this intrusive thought? It’s so scary and exhausting.
