this is currently happening to me and i was so embarrassed and didn’t think it happened to anyone else😢thank you so much for this video

[@stephaniegonzales715]

It's happening to me to ever since I started reading BL the I started thinking of sexual thought it even help me fall asleep at first I thought that it was okay but after some time it got very worse. It's okay your not alone❤️

[@7305Djwhatif]

Don't feel bad I suffer from the same thing the only thing I can tell you is that just notice negative sexual feelings only come to you when you feel like s*** take that as a side as the devil is trying to alter your mind for his purpose . Stay strong and true to yourself and make a solid decision on who you want to be it will always be up to you no matter how the way you feel .

[@calundoconteal6851]

Don’t worry you’re not alone, I have sexual ocd as well and while it’s part of a larger network of intrusive thought, it can be and usually is debilitating and exhausting. But always remember that these are delusions and you are in control of your kind as long as you remember that there is a distortion machine in your head, that is not who you actually are or what your reality really is

[@Harmony_678]

Im going through this as well. I figured I was the only one going through this. And it is embarrassing😢 and I wish it can stop

[@gavinkerslake]

I had unwanted sexual feelings and thoughts for a big part of my life. Much latter in 'sexual recovery' I realised it was part of an OCD experience. When I first spoke to other people about it, I was told I HAD to accept the feelings and thoughts, and to embrace them. This really upset me. So I stopped talking to other people. 24 years later I now only get nightmares occasionally. No day time OCD. thank you for this informative video.

[@omgsaurav]

Hey bro! I also have sexual OCD. How you overcome this sexual OCD. Would you like to tell me buddy? Please I am really dying.

[@gavinkerslake]

@@omgsaurav a 12 step program and a lot of time.

[@omgsaurav]

@@gavinkerslake can you elaborate it ?

[@gavinkerslake]

@@omgsaurav A 12 step recovery program specifically for Sexual issues. This helps address the issue head on. I knew I could get better but it took me a long time. I've also not had a relationship since 1999, and are not planning to be in one, because the obsession will return if I did. Because the sex instinct is so strong you will need to hang in there until things improve. Medication can also help. I take 100mg of Quetiapine before bed very night. This helps reduce the sexual desire and erections. This is all I have in the way of advice. go well.

Thank you for this video sometimes I get intrusive thoughts about being gay and I really don’t want to be gay but now that I have watched these videos I feel more sure of myself

[@noam-8332]

Can you tell me what the video is about please I don't understand English very well, and I have sexually harassing thoughts

[@chrysalism7375]

@@noam-8332 the video is basically saying you are not your thoughts and these thoughts are way more common than you think. There’s so much guilt and shame about the intrusive thought itself that it leads to isolation, depression, and being alone. These thought are egodistonic: these thoughts are not an distinction of who you know yourself to be and what u want; these thoughts are the opposite, they are exactly what you don’t want. Even if you paradoxically create a sensation that you may me aroused to these intrusive thoughts it’s not true, it’s something called groinal response and does not mean you’re aroused by these thought. I don’t want to type too much but if you have more questions you can ask me because I also have this problem.

[@lalalalalalalala8558]

​​@@chrysalism7375Thank you so much, you don't know how much this means to me, I have been dealing with this for a long time and there's periods where it gets better, but it came back a bit recently, and the groinal response makes me feel even more guilty, but the thought itself still distresses me so I consciously know that I wouldn't want to do that and don't ever plan on it I think we need to focus on more confidence and strength because I think the more low self esteem or stress the worse it gets I feel like it's similar to how when we overthink about something negative, or someone tells us something bad and it gets to us intensely. It's probably related to that or the same underlying principle in which negative things play over and over again in the mind. At least that's my experience because negative things in the past have played over and over again in my head a lot so if I work on myself overall I think it would help too

[@Ritanshu-k1o]

​@@chrysalism7375hello brother I am dealing with same problem same as your and I also got sexual thought about people I care even though I respect them. I don't know how why I am thinking all of this nonsense thoughts pls help

[@chrysalism7375]

@@Ritanshu-k1o hi friend, you too are most likely struggling with OCD. Remember these thoughts are not a true reflection of your belief systems and what you really think. They are intrusive thoughts meant to manipulate you and your beliefs. I 100% suggest therapy because it has helped me and my life has changed tremendously. I know it might feel taboo to talk about these intrusive thoughts but a therapist will not judge you and genuinely want to help you.

[@historypunkwargames4760]

Thank you for all you do man, I'm going through literal hell and as man ocd has stunted my growth as a man. Do you have any advice on how to not feel like an evil person while suffering with pocd, it feels so real at times.

It can be demonic possession once not taken care of earlier on. This is just scientific explanation but there's also a spiritual thing to it. Mainly through porn
