Anyone please help? Masturbation problem?

Question

I am 17, and have not masturbated for a while because I have OCD. My OCD rules my life. I am being treated, I am on medication that is working and am going to see a psychcirtrist soon. But anything to do with my p***s, come, masturbating, anything sexual I have to ignore. When I m********e, I have t clean up, get into the shower and was my hands until I feel they are clean. It usually takes like 2 cakes of soap and like 2 hours to fully clean myself to the point I feel clean. What should I do, it is driving me insane. I want to just be like normal teenage guys and m********e, wash my hands and feel clean? Does anyone else feel this way? Why is it that I think it is so dirty? I am not RELIGOUS and I have never really been told it is bad. Please help me?

Answer 1

The masturbation is not your problem. The reaction you have about wanting to be clean is a result of your OCD. The important thing is that you are getting help. One of my teachers, who was a psychiatrist used to say that a lot these compulsions which rule  lives are the result of  responses over-learned "at Mother's knee or some other low joint". I thought this was very witty at the time. However, there is no need to suffer needlessly. You must know logically that there is nothing dirty about your p***s and that masturbation is normal and good.

If you dislike the stickiness of freshly ejaculated s***n you can always m********e wearing a condom and throw the used rubber in the toilet. Wearing a condom with spermicide kills the sperm rendering them harmless and kills a lot of bacteria as well. Tell yourself this and use your logic to let you enjoy s*x instead of demonizing it.

Keep getting therapy because this OCD situation needs long term counselling.

Answer 2

You should talk to a physician about the Obsessive Compulsive disorder.  Paxil is usually the prescribed medication for it, but in some instances it has the side effect of causing a person's ability to reach o****m much more difficult.  You said you are now on medication, give it a few weeks to really kick in.  Going to a therapist, preferably a Psychiatrist, will help you considerably.  But remember with any of these conditions, it takes time.  You do not get instantaneous gratifcation from any treatment you may receive or are receiving at this time.  

Answer 3

Use kleenex to absorb the mess and move on... no big deal.  You'll have a shower tomorrow.

Answer 4

masturbation isnt the problem...its natural just like any other sexual act done in life.  Once you get on the right meds for your OCD things should get back in order.  And your OCD problem is something that you need to take care of first.  Other things just take one step at a time and let the doctors help you (even if it mean therapists to work one on one til you get thru the problems).

One day and it'll happen quicker than you realize, that you'll be able to lead a "very normal life" with the OCD under control with your meds and therapy combined.  don't get all upset and worried, and perhaps you need to work on each little problem a little at a time.

Answer 5

m********e with gloves on and ejaculate in the toilet

Answer 6

I have heard that cognitive behavioral therapy for OCD includes slowly removing yourself from the rituals that you are comfortable with. For instance, if someone washes their hands for ten minutes, they could be asked to reduce it to five minutes.

If there is any way to control your OCD or minimize it's impact, try it. Otherwise you will never be able to enjoy s*x without all of this zstuff added onto it.

By the way, if it is helpful masturbation is not "dirty." Most bacteria and disease risk is found on the hands, not on private parts. It sounds like you have been affected by culture and not common sense.

Good luck - hope you can enjoy yourself soon!

Answer 7

Ok listen closely you will never get away from germs they are everywhere they are on your hands even after you wash your hands. Most of them are good germs and help you. All the bad ones are are taken care of by your immune system (think of the immune system as the soldiers that protect your body). Now you are lucky your type of OCD is one of the easiest to fix. Our body's are suppose to have germs in them. Did you know that yogurt is is given bacteria by the factory on purpose. So don't worry so much. Your body was given an immune system for a reason.

GOOD LUCK

Answer 8

The OCD is the problem, it will affect anything you do.  You need to get that under control, or any activity will produce problems.  The good news is OCD is a treatable condition, there are many therapies available.  Its good you are getting treatment, and that should produce a path to recovery.
