Sexual intrusive thoughts in OCD

Article on sexual intrusive thoughts in OCD
No experiences have been shared about this OCD theme yet.

Unwanted intrusive thoughts related to sexual acts that conflict with a person’s values. The distress comes from fear of what the thoughts might mean, not desire.

I don’t suffer with this subtype of OCD, but I can imagine it is incredibly distressful for people that do. It’s one of those where many sufferers will feel they cannot talk openly about it compared to for example, worrying about an intruder entering the home or accidentally starting a house fire.
