Here's a link to an article, from PC's archives, that touches upon this perspective:

I also believe that the amount of sex-related information & violence we're bombarded with everyday from every direction means that we're exposed to this sort of thing constantly... in TV programs, in the news, etc. I'm an older person myself. And, back when I was young, there was no internet. And TV programs, movies etc. were much more tightly censored. So one just wasn't exposed to all of the sex-related content we're exposed to today. And, as a result, thoughts of the sort you're struggling with came up less frequently if at all.

So I guess what I would like to suggest is that in spite of the thoughts you had, you're not a monster. You're simply struggling with the effects of having OCD to begin with, along with the impact all of the sex-related content has on all of us day-in & day-out as a result of living in the modern world. My best wishes to you.
These are valid points Skeezyks. The media appear particularly obsessed with pedophilia. They can't seem to go one day without talking about it. And those SVU shows, or whatever they're called, are horrible. I could never watch them. Every episode seems to be about a prostitute being murdered or a child being molested.
