I get groin responses all the time when anything kid related comes up, even if I'm not fully thinking about it, but how much worse can they get? My little sister is a little kid around 4 and 5, and i get these responses when I go near her or I think of things and it gets me really worried, but usually the longer I hang around her the less I feel these feelings and they go away and I can tell I don't feel anything towards her. This time I saw her in her underwear and i knew I didn't think it was attractive, but I still had the response, and then my brain thought she almost looked naked and the response felt much worse, and i didn't get an erection, but it felt like it was nearing one. Is this still POCD? This time I got really scared. Should I hang around her as a form of exposure therapy and just let these responses happen? I think what if I get an erection? Because I always get some tiny amount of one. Also before the POCD I don'tthink I ever felt like this, wwe would get ready in the same room and I didnt care at all. Anyone else feel like this? Everytime I feel like I get over pocd the groinal responses happen making me rethink

I feel you. I've also gone through POCD for a slight period of time and it was horrible. I would advice you to seek psychiatric help. POCD is a rough battle to fight alone and it can cause severy anxiety problems.
And lastly, don't give in to the compulsions and reassurances. You have POCD, label the groinal response as part of your POCD and let the feeling/thought stay there without trying to make it go away.
