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.

Help, Meta OCD/POCD?
I’ve been feeling the urge to avoid intimacy or purposefully engage (for reassurance that I won’t give into a compulsion) because of intrusive thoughts and fear that I’ll “check/test” my reactions. My OCD is making me so scared that I’ll purposefully think of a child and try to see if I like it. It’s so complicated but I guess I’m mentally checking if I would mentally check during intimacy. I’ve even envisioned myself checking and it’s making me so nauseous. I know it’s a compulsion like any other but the sound of “touching yourself to the thought of a child” sounds atrocious and vile. I’m terrified I’ll automatically start checking next time I am being intimate. I truly feel so worried. If anyone has gone through something similar, I’d appreciate hearing your experience. Or if anyone has any advice?

Intrusive Thoughts During “Me-Time”
So I was enjoying some “me time” and had intrusive thoughts, but it felt like just for a second I liked it. Like I’m holding myself back from “enjoying” the thought. And the thoughts are related to things I was into when I was younger, but sometimes I feel like I might still like it even though 9/10 I wouldn’t give it a second thought. Is this common? Or is this just denial? Thanks

Someone please help me right now
I’m a csa survivor which made me develop hypersexuality while actually being a asexual individual. (Where I did CP and talked to groomers and sexted, ect ect) A few months ago I’ve started to heal, but the fact that I’ve seen so many private parts since I was idk, young? I imagine them everywhere, it’s really frustrating and sometimes I also get intrusive thoughts about other kids or my siblings. It’s deeply distributing but I also kind of think of it from a curious kind of aspect which I despise too. Honestly I have a hard time with any kid in underwear, my intrusive thoughts have been ALOT the last months and they’re really really overwhelming. I also easily go into overanalysing them or even trying to figure out more clearer the thoughts to “test myself”. I think, I hope. Idk it’s scary
