I have achieved a semi erection on 2 or 3 occasions whilst thinking about genitals or nude males, could this really be the groinal response? Are erections REALLY part of a groinal response and hocd? I'm so scared and I don't understand how my body can do this when it makes me feel so sick inside. Literally, the worst HOCD attack happened yesterday night when an intrusive homosexual religious thought gave me an erection. I feel like a terrible person right now, it involved Jesus Christ and I just don't understand how any erection could happen at that thought. I am never going to ‘experiment' as it makes me feel sick, but I need to know why and how I could get an erection at the son of man and our saviour. PLEASE HELP ME!! These erections are repugnant. Just today I have achieved 2 semi- erections from the thought of an ejaculating penis. Why is that the case. It feels like real arousal, I obtain a real erection so are these real feelings or just groinal responses? I am in no way emotionally attracted to any males, but the thought of any old erect penis causes an erection. Also, the sounds of an ejaculating man like instantly causes an erection. could this just be reminding me or pornographic scenes or climaxes. Just while writing this I have achieved a FULL erection from the groaning ejaculation sounds in my head. Is this hormones, HOCD or what? I really don't believe anyone holds the answers to this question but I am just hoping that someone will give a good response. How is it I am disgusted by these thoughts whilst at the same time erect over them, I mean, I just feel like I have lost touch with myself. I can't sleep either because when I close my eyes, sexual thoughts come into my head, and when I open them they are still circulating in my head. I need to know why this is happening. Someone, ANYONE. Could it be that sexual thoughts cause sexual responses? could erect penises remind me of pornographic movies I liked, even if the images of the penis in my head has no females present? Can a man be turned on by the idea of another mans arousal, because it reminds them of their own arousal by women? I have so many questions. Prior to quitting pornography, I was highly attracted to lesbian scenes, however there is like no movement when I try to get an erection over women in my head. I can't be bi, I'm not bi, I love women and yet still my body is torturing me. Where do I turn to now, PLEASE respond.
