But none of this is helping my name situation. All the things we have covered about sexuality and guilt I know all of this. I havent learned anything new. I need help with the OCD part of this. The part that isnt logic and reasoning, the part that is my anxiety taking control. What do I do? How can ...

Its only sexual pleasure that seems to bother me. I feel most of it may be from years and years of being told that sex was a devious act. Just like how people say sex sells and we see it in a negative connotation. I know that there isnt anything wrong with sexuality but I cant seem to enjoy it fully...

Hello. A relief to here from you again. I have spoken to my therapist and the answer is simple from an OCD point of view, unfortunately it is the hardest decision I've had to make believe it or not. One way my Therapist put it is, if I want to fully accept masturbation, I just have to do it regularl...

Its much less about doing harm to anyone. Its more about holding myself to a higher standard. It bothers me to make that association, i know that nobody else knows about it, its the fact that it bothers me and my moral compass.

Thank you. I think its safe to say the reason i feel guilty from doing such things in the past is simply the fact that it goes against my values. Im generally not a sexual person, but like everyone sometimes we get feelings, and me being only 17 years old there arent alot of ways of relieving those ...

They were, but every situation had its own variable, like why these situations gave me anxiety. This is one is completely different in a sense that I feel guilty over something that sort of is entirely my fault.

Unfortunately they dont do anything later than 8pm.

I do have a therapist yes, but have not been able to see him due to my busy schedule with work and school. Also sorry for the late reply, I've just been so busy.

This also happens with fictional characters and musicians too. Like if a character in a movie or book shares a name with a pornstar I may have watched or just seen, i feel like I cant watch the film or even think about it.

So, not exactly sure if this is the place for a post like this, but I figured I feel comfortable here and didnt really have any place else to go. So I have posted about OCD in the past, and this post is a much more minor situation than the last. So lets get into it. I used to watch porn, and do all ...

I also agree with you saying that I may be doing things that are against my values. Maybe I'm trying to hard to be something I'm not, which is a person who masturbates I suppose. I've never been ok with the idea of masturbation, but me saying that has only applied to me. I could care less if everyon...

Wow thank you so much. I actually don't interact with this person regularly and the only way this impacts our "relationship" would be me feeling like a jerk. I will definitely read those articles you recommended. Thank you for such a quick reply.

I am 17 years old, and have been diagnosed with OCD. Like all guys I fantasize about girls I like, and again like all guys I masturbate. I am an incredibly moral person however, and I feel guilty over the slightest immoral sounding subject. It makes me feel terrible like I'm condemned to a living he...
