Normal sexual thoughts

As we learnt  – Sex thoughts before marriage is quite a normal and essential phenomenon.

  • Being attracted to a film star on TV,
  • Getting urge to masturbate once or twice a week / fortnight,
  • Sexual thoughts that do not harm the normal course of the day,
  • Sexual thoughts that do not produce guilt in the mind
  • Having a good control over sex thoughts,
  • Occasional urge to watch a little porn,
  • Not having altered feelings while talking to friends and colleagues
  • Thoughts that do not affect your productivity
  • Rare / occasional, temporary, harmless attraction towards others, in spite of  having a good spouse
Obsessive sexual thoughts –
Your sexual thoughts are obsessive in nature if,
  • You can not control it even after many efforts
  • Leads you to abnormal sexual activities
  • Masturbating multiple times in a day continuously for weeks together
  • Getting sexual thoughts about everyone around you
  • You can not study, you can not work, due to them.
  • Sex thoughts that have blasted your confidence, making you fall into depression, making you think of suicide.
  • More you try to control, more it gets back to you.
  • It has made you to avoid people around you. You do not feel comfortable mingling with society.
  • It has made you to confine yourself to your room.

  2. Uncontrollable
  3. Feeling of guilt

It is not as bad as you assume –

Obsessive thoughts can be very well controlled with proper treatment, counselling and lifestyle changes.
