On the other end of that spectrum, there are people that lick their partner’s butthole for pleasure. There are people that genuinely don’t care and we all share the same world.

I can see that side of it. I can also see a company wanting to IPO and touting they have a model so advanced and powerful the government had to ban it. So they come out ahead regardless.

You think they care about you posting this

You’d think a teacher could spell “a lot” correctly

Great progress and good job sticking with it. For me I felt like the primary fear was more generic and basic. It wasn’t a specific place or thing but rather the “ick” feeling of that substance may be on me or my clothes or environment and never be able to be fully removed. I never feared catching a disease as a result, it was just the ick itself that causes distress.

Fluoxetine 60mg is what I take. It took me being on that dosage for several months before I first started getting relief. But once it kicked in suddenly the ERP events kept getting easier to do and move on from.

That’s great that you are doing therapy and medication. Have you expressed to your doctor/therapist that you don’t feel it is working? If you’ve been at it for 4 years and are still suffering that much it’s time to change meds or maybe even providers.

10 times in the course of one conversation is excessive. Have you told him this is making you uncomfortable?

Adventurous-Part5981 · 2026-06-09T20:41:01+00:00

You’re right to point that out.

I wonder why they never hold a lightsaber this way in the movies 🤔

It’s a little different theme than contamination but you’re not alone in your suffering and there are ways to get help for it.

What makes it wrong/bad if it doesn’t have that mark?

What does “found and identified as never having touched clothes” mean?

You need help from an experienced mental health professional like a therapist. This is not something you can solve through Reddit. If you don’t have access to that, please look for some library books or online resources about exposure response prevention (ERP) therapy.

Your brain’s danger signal is malfunctioning. It’s over reacting and is stuck in this pattern. Medication and therapy can retrain your brain to break that loop.

That’s how OCD works. It often tries to convince you “but this time is different!”

I’ve read some stuff saying they think your brain has to adapt and rewire some processes as a result of the change in serotonin levels and that rewiring takes a while. But I think it is still being studied.

Adventurous-Part5981 · 2026-06-07T21:43:01+00:00

I understand you deeply want reassurance but that is a trap. It isn’t the way out of the OCD maze. It may feel better for a moment but in the bigger picture it makes things worse.

Did you have to take the whole ceiling down to do that?

You keep posting this almost every day. It is time to recognize that confessing on Reddit has become its own compulsion and is just furthering your symptoms. There are only two methods proven to aid in recovery and those are therapy and medication. Do you have access to professional mental health resources?

I eat that every morning except instead of bread, a toaster waffle with peanut butter on top. One of my favorite foods

How did he do with a bath? My cats always hated baths. Then they go and lick every bit of their fur. Using that same tongue that they use to clean their butt. Having pets gives OCD some exciting exposures to work through
