Is it normal to get intrusive thoughts during masterbate but you push then thoughts away and make your self think of something else ect a partner? But then once you finish youâll feel guilty and youâll think youâve got off to something else when you never cause you pushed that thought away and made yourself think of something else⌠this has happened a few times and it starts ti get ti me.
This resonates with me so much. Iâve been feeling that way as well. Itâs like, initially your thoughts are like âyes!, this is good. Iâm readyâ and youâre not thinking of anything at first but then the intrusive thoughts start creeping in and you find yourself having a two way conversation with both sides as if theyâre competing to see who goes first. Sending tons of support your way as we navigate through this process together!
@POC_with_OCD_0813 @KimPossiblee So is normal to have the intrusive thought during but you keep going but you PUSH that thought away and make yourself think of something else but then you feel guilty and then you start to think youâve got off to something else even tho you never?
Yup. Itâs wild and can be super stressful. But, OCD loves to pop up at the worst time. Practice accepting the thoughts come when they come, and let them flow in and out of your mind.

@Anonymous đ¤ Yes. But pushing the thought away can be a compulsion, which can teach your brain the thought itself is dangerous or scary. Try not to assign meaning to the thoughts. They pop up at a less desirable time, but theyâre just thoughts in the end. If you work with an ERP therapist, they can help you with this.
definitely been through this spiral too!! fucking hated it but this too shall pass. donât give up.

So I was enjoying some âme timeâ and had intrusive thoughts, but it felt like just for a second I liked it. Like Iâm holding myself back from âenjoyingâ 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 wouldnât give it a second thought. Is this common? Or is this just denial? Thanks
Last night I was self pleasuring. I didnât 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 werenât nearly as bad as the things that related to my actual life. But now, Iâm suffering. I havenât had a sexual experience in over a year that didnât involve constant intrusive thoughts. Most are somehow related to kids and I keep chasing off the thoughts but itâs so bad. I know youâre supposed to ignore them but I donât know how I can just ignore that and continue what Iâm doing. But theyâre 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 itâs not me and it was not enjoyable but it still feels like I was getting off to it. I feel sick. Iâm so fucking tired of these thoughts. Theyâre in my every day life too and itâs all the time. I just want it to stop but ignoring it feels so wrong. What should I do?
