Either way its **** mate Cheers for replying

Hi Steve i too avoid sex but that obviously makes it worse as OCD finds other ways to work. You say you put sexual things down in a list but my point is if that is the case how do you actually expose the things you put on the list without hiring a prostitute :lookaround: does that make sense?. my therapist is going to have a cut on her hand apparently then i will shake it without checking mine for cuts, i can see how that would work. its a difficult one as i mention in my first post i can see how early exposure might work it just seems quite complex. cheers

Thanks for replying Bubbles, i suppose i will just have to see what the CBT comes up with. x

Hi I have had OCD for at least 20 years but it only got diagnosed about 10 years ago. I have had tablets and a "little" CBT in the past. I am just about to start CBT after a number of years and have a question for anyone who may have had this treatment before and share my main OCD which is contamination with Aids. The question that i have is that i can see how CBT helps if people wont touch door handels or have to keep checking things as i can see how steady exposure can help ie, touching a door handel and not carrying out a compulsion BUT what i can not see is how can someone with a fear of Aids can have steady exposure? i can see the start for example sharing a drink with someone, shaking hands withsomeone with a cut possibly but i cant see any futher exposure. Hope this makes sense and please understand i am not for 1 minute saying that it is "easy" to have CBT exposure with door handels etc. Thanks
