    Hey @BillieTheBot, thank you so much for your courage in sharing this post. I can hear that you feel unsure of what to do, and this has been causing you a lot of anxiety.

    There are other young people who experience intrusive thoughts as part of OCD, and also, intrusive thoughts linked to masterbation too. You're not alone. You can find out more here: https://www.treatmyocd.com/what-is-ocd/common-fears/masturbating-makes-me-feel-guilty Or here: https://www.treatmyocd.com/what-is-ocd/common-fears/do-intrusive-thoughts-during-climax-mean-anything

    How has this been affecting you emotionally? I wonder, have you ever recieved any support around OCD or in coping with intrusive thoughts?

    The following organisations are also here for you if you wish for some further help with this:

    ocdaction.org.uk

    topuk.org
    Self-help therapy groups and support for those with OCD, phobias and related anxiety disorders.

    @BillieTheBot , I hear you, and it sounds like you're feeling a lot of shame and anxiety around this too. Have any of the resources we shared above felt helpful at all?

    I wonder whether you've felt able to talk to anyone else in your life about this?
