Hello my name is Julian and I have a problem with OCD. I have the obsession that I might be a pedophile. So earlier two years ago I decided to watch Pokemon like I did during my childhood. I got strangely aroused in some parts and I didn't think it was abnormal or anything (I was 14 at the time) and even fapped once. and it's been tormenting me the possibility of being a pedo ever since more or less a year and a half ago, when I had just come through HOCD and asked myself "what if those thoughts make me a pedo?"
Now I have seeked for help and haven't got an answer. I once told my dad and he said it was okay, because here's the thing that pretty much relieves my anxiety:
I have had a very slow growth. I'm 16 but I look like 12 year old. I remember not feeling out of my age group when I was 12 but now I do. Everyone is so much more taller and their voice has changed. Mine hasn't.
I've barely started going through puberty and I've felt slightly intimidated by girls my age. They look much taller.
Thinking about it, the girls from Pokemon do seem my age. I've realized I have felt true attraction for these things but I just want it to be normal. What I want is someone to tell me that it's normal and it'll go away. Plus, I don't think of the girls from Pokemon to be younger than me. Also I don't like little children. Sex with childrenwould be disgusting to me( 0-10 year olds) I'm guessing true pedos are aroused by children because they are powerless and they seem more manageable, I guess.
I also feel more attracted to girls my age or older. I haven't tapped to Pokemon girls in a while, without counting when I get all anxious and worried (like now.
My point is: I don't think that I am attracted to little children. I don't get aroused by feeling that the girls from Pokemon are younger than me..
Also I think I'm feeling really bad because I read that pedos just try to justify their acts and it makes me really anxious. I don't want to be this way forever. I think I just truly realized that. I want someday to make this change. I wouldn't mind at all if I stopped being aroused by these things. In fact, I'd feel more relieved. I'd like it that way, indeed.
It's such a hell to live like this. It's 4:30 am where I live and I haven't slept because of this.
Please help me. I feel bad because I did once feel the urge to fap to these things and, although I was going through this kind of self-questioning at the time, I didn't feel any of that at the moment I felt the urge. I did feel very guilty after doing it. In fact, I hate this POCD #######4 because I read pedos sometimes can't control it. They wish it goes away but it doesn't and they have to accept it. Please I need help. I don't want to be an idiot like that. Just, someody out there help me out of that possibility.
