Hello everyone, I have recently been diagnosed with severe OCD, and I was also previously a sex/porn addict working through it in therapy, still finding it challenging and looking for advice.

I have been working with a therapist since early April to help manage these thoughts and feelings. I have made some significant improvements, as it used to be seriously debilitating. For three months now, I have steadily been avoiding porn by using site blockers and reaching out for support during strong urges to watch. I sometimes experience the urges, and at times it can become physically uncomfortable how much it affects me, and I am just curious if anyone has related experience and might have advice for this? I feel like I have been managing much better recently, but sometimes, with my girlfriend, I get turned on relatively easily, and it embarrasses me.
