The idea that a normal person can move from "normal" porn to more deviant or even illegal porn just doesn't make sense to me.
How can one be aroused by extreme/taboo porn without a pre-existing paraphilia?
Doesn't that sound like denial of paraphilia?
EDIT: Note that people use "porn...

Hello everyone, I hope someone can help me.
I have severe OCD since I was 10 now i’m 26, and I had HOCD and other OCD themes before this happened.
My OCD became much worse two years ago because of severe Groinal responses.
Groinal responses I had gave me unwanted orgasms. I hate to even...
I have had OCD for most of my life, but I did not know that this was what it was until this past year or so. Nofap has been so difficult because I have sexual themes to some of my obsessions. I had so many compulsive behaviours to deal with the bad thoughts. I treated it like an enemy that I...
So I suffer from pretty severe OCD (diagnosed) and I'm constantly getting bombarded with sexual intrusive thoughts/images, either from porn I've watched in the past or just sexual intrusive thoughts/images in general. No matter what I do I can't seem to shake these thoughts off. I've tried...

So I suffer from a lot of certain sexual ocd’s hocd, etc.
sometimes I arousal test out of anxiety to make sure that I am not aroused to something.
is this a relapse? I don’t want to get horny, I just feel the need to make sure I’m not aroused to something that I don’t want to be.
I’m writing this just to get something off my mind.
I relapsed late last night after around 12-14 days
I did it multiple times (full pmo)
The extra times were because of terrible ocd intrusive thoughts during orgasm. (I’m not a pedo, but visual thoughts about a child).
the ocd makes me feel...

Hi Everyone,
I reluctantly used this forum originally after what felt like a lifetime of porn addiction, around the 2013-15 mark (if my memory serves correct). After many successful years, It appears I am back again.

In my last relapse(which was 2 hours ago), i had a strong ocd about my sexual potency,so i relapsed again but i said I'll only watch the usual video (a specific video I'm watching since 3 years in every relapse) because I don't want to have a repetitive picture in my mind of the video. And...

I suffered from OCD for about 3 years in almost all aspects of my daily life and I was able to get over it with this mindset that I learned. I have applied it to NoFap the day I started it, which got me to where I am right now; a 200 days streak and a clear mind.
From this journey I learned...
