Anyone else have unusual sexual thoughts about people you know? It's horrible. I can't get the thoughts and images out of mind. What kind of freak am I? Or thoughts of hurting myself or someone else. Does this make ma a bad person? Am I just a sick freak? I would never act on these thoughts but they are so distressing and awful.

hi lauru,
you will find you're not alone with this. a lot of ppl with OCD have similar thoughts to you. here is a thread that is currently going on in a different section of PC which you might find helpful to know you are not alone: http://forums.psychcentral.com/showt...t=99955&page=1 i dont think you are a bad person or a sick freak, only someone who is getting pounded by intrusive and unwanted thoughts they have no control over. do you currently see a therapist? i am not asking because i think you are "sick" and need to be "fixed", but because i can see you are in distress and a therapist would be able to help you work through that. |

Hello Lauru! I wanted to let you know that you are not alone with unwanted OCD thoughts. I have been suffering with them for a while now, and you will eventually learn how to deal with them in your own way. You could also talk to your therapist about starting medication; which really helped me. My psychiatrist also believes that I have bipolar as well so we have two things in common!

I did sexual 'acting out' most of my life. Wondering what it would be, what things look, how they might kiss, body parts, both male and female. My sexual activity started at age 12. Didn't help my body was already built like an 18 year old. I went through a confusing stage of sex was love. Many stages to reach the one I have now - The stage I'm in now is really messed up - I don't even want to see a naked body - especially a mans. I turn my head immediately, cuz I don't want to think any sexual thoughts.... Oh well YOUR'E ABSOLUTELY FINE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Just a stage.... We've got to go through them to get past them |

----- Warning -- digression coming ----- ----- Other warning -- My digressions rarely seem to be accidental ----- Once upon a time I noticed that when I was doing something (such as carpentry) that I didn't do very often, I'd consistently make certain kinds of mistakes. I'd need to fit one piece neatly between two others but I'd keep cutting it a tiny bit too short so there'd be a gap; or a tiny bit too long so it would need to be trimmed (awkwardly) or forced (even more awkwardly). I'd remind myself to be more careful but the harder I'd try, the worse the result would be. Then I'd be away from carpentry for six months or a year, doing other things entirely; and when I'd have occasion to do another carpentry project, it would be as if I were figuring out for the first time how to do it -- as if I'd forgotten to make my customary mistakes -- and it would turn out fine in the very areas I'd had difficulty with before. ----- All clear -- back from digression ----- I was wondering if you could perhaps forget in somewhat the same way to be what you call "messed up" -- or at the very least, forget to call yourself that. |

I've had those kinds of thoughts, but to tell the truth, they don't bother me much. A long time ago, when they started popping up, I was worried about them. But once I realized I would never act on them, and that I had thoughts but no URGES or DESIRES to do them, they stopped bothering me. The thoughts are usually very fleeting now, and I don't get them much. It's like, "Whatever."

My soon to be ex was ocd and addictive to the extreme. He was totally addicted to porn, he would do his thing in front of his computer at least three times a day if not more, even when i was home. he showed no shame whatsoever, and, he treated me like one of the porno chicks.
it got worse and worse as his bi polar moods got more volitile. I feel badly for anyone who goes thru this knowing there may be something wrong, confused and wanting to correct the behavior. The ex did not try to right the wrong, instead he isisted it was normal. He even went to the extreme of buying a pump and having bruised skin, thinking nothing of it. I would hope there is some sort of support group where you live that could guide you and help you throught this? |

Are you sure that's OCD? ^^
Sounds like something else? Unless he felt compelled to do this behavior... |

Obsessive Compulsive disorder.
He obessed about porn and spending money, he was compulsively behaving on having what he wanted to satisfy his emotional empty body. Yes we are sure this is what it was along with the narcisissim and bi polar (rapid cycling) and pathological issues, it is quite possible, unless you guys have any other suggestions. Uggggg i am not here to dwell on him, but rather, maybe i could be of help to someone who is stuck in the same kind of dead end relationship i was. |

It doesn't sound like OCD to me. With OCD, the obsessions aren't pleasure-giving, nor are the behaviors; rather, the behaviors provide relief to the anxiety caused by the obsessions, or thoughts. Does he have an actual psychiatric diagnosis, or are you diagnosing him yourself?
Sounds simply like sexual addiction, definitely not OCD.

Calm down, we are just saying that it doesn't sound like OCD... maybe he could get a 2nd opinion.
