*Possible trigger warning*

Hello, it's been a while since last time I posted on this forum. Must say I've been coping with my yet to be diagnosed Harm OCD. I was wondering i've read avoidance of triggers is bad, but
How is it bad exactly? I've come to the conclusion that Snaga did, which is, I am not a bad person, even though I do get quite a few obsessions every now and then, I ...

Ok, so several months ago I got fairly baked and weed makes me really horny sometimes so I was getting ready to do the deed and I decided to look up porn in a female point of view because I was curious and I found it incredibly arousing at the time.

So, I struggle with POCD, and I randomly have flashbacks to a particularly uncomfortable and shameful episode from my past, that just exacerbates the hell out of my OCD.

I’m so exhausted I just keep testing and testing it feels like I can ejaculate quicker with a gay thought and this bothers me so much it doesn’t feel like Iv anxiety over it either so that worry’s me too. I’m literally testing twice a day now to see if I will ejaculate to gay thoughts. I’m starting to worry I’m subconsciously attracted or something I’m just so tired of this

Hello, can someone explain how ocd creates arousal non concordance ? For example while seeing a picture or a video that triggers Hocd or POCD or any other sexual ocd? And Why does it make unwanted arousal stronger while being aroused? Any good links and some explanation ?
