Humans are sexual beings. Unfortunately, our bodies do the sexual acceleration much before our brains step in to do the breaking. Noncondordence is something women experience 9/10 times, men 5/10 times. Meaning, 90% of the time, a woman's body is just responding to sexual content regardless of her brains preference and for men that happens 50% of the time. It's important to be mindful of that when dealing with OCD. You don't want to remind yourself compulsively as this can make things worse, but understanding your body is just doing what it does and letting the thoughts move through and accepting any groinal or arousal responses as they come.

Whilst I have read this before and it's super helpful it's also so triggering. As a bisexual woman with a man I love and with slightly more sexual attraction to women than men and more romantic attraction towards men, I am now thinking oh god, what if I am actually gay and my sexual feelings towards men is part of this nonconcordance, not 'real' arousal. I love having sex with men and crave it when I am looking at content of men, so perhaps this answers my question, but it still makes me spiral.

Don’t try to reduce it or change it- usuallt, when that happens, your heartbeat starts pulsing and you start worrying too. Let that die down. Over repetition, you’re body is going to be neutral to it, which will reduce the distress over and over again. Remember- a big part of recovery is to make your quality of life increase, not to necessarily only get rid of things you don’t want at the moment.

Who knows why that is- if you keep on obsessing, you aren’t going to get better.

This seems like reassurance, which is a compulsion and makes OCD worse.

Last night I was self pleasuring. I didn’t set out to think about anything weird but as I was doing it some pocd thoughts were in my brain. I did not get off to them, but I could have. Idk why that is but it is. Idk what to do and idk why I am this way. Is there some science about the brain while aroused or is it possible that the more gross or taboo something is I can like it?? Idk, just want to know if anyone can relate.

I need advice for intrusive thoughts. I used to feel like I could handle them. They weren’t nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, I’m suffering. I haven’t had a sexual experience in over a year that didn’t involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but it’s so bad. I know you’re supposed to ignore them but I don’t know how I can just ignore that and continue what I’m doing. But they’re coming on stronger. I had one earlier I could not get rid of just as things finished so the thought came on strongly just before my orgasm hit and now I feel absolutely disgusting. I hated the thought and I know it’s not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. I’m so fucking tired of these thoughts. They’re in my every day life too and it’s all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?

Hey guys today I just wanted to come here and share an experience I have and I generally don't know what to do I feel like a terrible person for having these thoughts and for thinking them I genuinely don't know what to do I don't know the signs behind it and why I think the way I do but it's honestly driving me crazy I don't know what to do I have a pornography addiction for a long time it's where it's like anytime I'm an intimate moment or am masturbating my head just thinks these weird things always the same repetitive thoughts to of family members your younger sibling or a young child I myself am a 17 year old and I feel so disgusted I feel like I can't live my life anymore I feel like I'm a criminal cuz like it feels like I chose this these thoughts like I actively think them I don't know the signs behind it and I just really need professional help if there's any like therapist here that could fill me in that would be nice I would also like to know if you guys had any similar experiences because for me I feel like I have to rewatch pornography and do it right without the thoughts cuz I feel like the thoughts are just like to prevalent anytime I do anything related to masturbation why do I think this way I'm also just trying to be as honest as I can with this I'm not trying to make myself I guess a victim I'm trying to hold myself accountable if I actually am like this because I also have doubts in my head that tells me that I enjoy these things I feel like I'm going crazy someone help because it feels so real like I acted on them or that I was pleasuring myself to the thoughts and not towards the video it's just how can I live with myself you know also during it it felt like I was thinking the thought for a long period of time like it was dominating my head so I couldn't focus it felt l
