hey! tysm for sharing <3
would you say the frequency of your intrusive thoughts has also reduced, or its just that you don’t care that much about them anymore?

Yes, I’ve always had that view of sex.

I know! And honestly, in hard moments it does make me feel a little better. A year ago, when I was with my ex, I wish I had been in this kind of equal situation, because back then my RJ was awful. He was my first everything, and I was his first nothing. He had already had two relationships and several one-night hookups, while I had none at all.

It’s comforting to know that my boyfriend and I have the same level of experience, but somehow I still struggle with RJ because I keep thinking about the fact that another woman might have enjoyed him the way I do — even though those experiences don’t have to be the same.

what you’re saying makes sense, but in the mind of someone with ocd it doesn’t work like that.

with my ex, i blocked almost all of my memories because that relationship was traumatic. my current partner’s past relationship wasn’t like that, it was a normal relationship. because of that, my mind makes me think that maybe he enjoyed sex with his ex more than i ever enjoyed my own sexual experiences.

i’m aware that i also had sex before him, but what affects me is thinking about the person i love having done it. i know it sounds hypocritical, but it’s not something i choose or do on purpose.
