How to stop my inappropriate sexual thoughts due to ocd ?

A doctor has provided 1 answer

OCD Can Torment: Intrusive thoughts -obsessions- of a sexual nature, incl ones that feel embarrassing/shameful, r not uncommon. Can b hard 2understand that someone having such thoughts doesn't want 2B having them. Remember: sexual obsessions r typically very distressing 2the person experiencing them. It's impt 2B able 2discuss obsessions openly. This exposes them 4what they r- just thoughts! www.Ocfoundation.Org.
