Question about GroniAls

Ok I've had the gronial thing throughout my whole OCD experience. Here's the thing, I've had gronials where I'm consciously aware and checking for a feeling down there but this morning I was half asleep and my current theme popped up and almost naturally and automatically i felt a feeling down there. This was upon waking up and felt unconcious of what was going on then realized i had a feeling and not checking to see. Does OCD gronials start changing and becoming this because of the condition like my body has gotten use to the cues and now its almost automatic.

It could just be morning arousal. I wouldn't worry about it. But I know how you feel though, I can sometimes get erections to the testing thoughts and I absolutely hate it ugh

I know but aee thats different you were testing this feels like it starting to just come natural and automatic like my brain and body have now learned this.

Do you get the erections when you're testing sometimes? And hmm... there was a study I read which said the thalamus in the brain sometimes responds to sex in any thought with a groinal response. We're hard wired to do so, it's basically our brain's way of doing a "hardware check".

I don't get full erections but more of a tingle or sensation of blood flowing there. When I am exposed to my trigger It feels like its almost automatic or maybe so fast I cant tell. Its like my body is used to my triggers and will spark a gronial almost instantly. Before it wAs trigger ok let me check if i feel anything down there thrn gronial.

Morning erections are normal, because when we sleep the penis becomes erect many times throughout the course of our sleep cycle to maintain healthy functioning. I don't really know if sexual thoughts are really related to it much.

DUDE, I had a dream about ladders and falling off. Woke up with an erection. Doesn't mean im attracted to ladders does it?

I know but I felt the feeling like a gronial, the tingling sensation almost automatically without being aware like the checking i usually do that causes the normal gronials im use to.

Once your brain becomes trained and aware of your triggers does it produce gronials almost instantly is what im saying? Is that a ocd gronial?

Triggers are sort of a physiological response.

Remember that erections are not voluntary. It also doesn't take being attracted to someone for them to give you an erection.

I just dont think that was the case in this situation.
My theme as in the last 8 months off and on has been me worried if I was aroused by bad odors. These odors have come across as body odors from human then started with animal as during that time a thought of beastislity surfaced. I know for a damn fact that this is OCD it came in right after I felt i concurred the worst theme ive ever had POCD. Now this seems so much worse vile and disgusting. It wont let me be.
So back to the situation....I woke up one morning laying there noticing a smell of dog feces and laying there with my girlfriend then realized i felt a gronial, i know im healthy and wake up with erections from the morning as well as being close to my gfbut it felt likethegronials i get when i encounter a bad odor.
This has to be the strangest theme ever i just want it over
