Is this POCD then?

For starters, I don’t do anything illegal, don’t plan on doing anything illegal, and don’t advocate for doing anything illegal, but you kinda get where this is going.

As far as I know, it’s just male brain chemistry to register certain shapes with sexual attraction but recently it’s become a real issue for me. It’s been something in the back of my mind for a while now and I really don’t recall it being an issue when I was younger but now going into my 30’s, it’s come to be a big thing mentally.

I was just shopping recently when I noticed a woman facing the other way. She must’ve been 5’7” or 5’8” but she had a full but immaculate figure that was very noticeable in what she was wearing. She had long flowing hair, full chest, small waist, full hips, and long legs, things any (straight) guy would find hard to not find attractive. Naturally, as a guy, it was just hard to not look. But then the moment she turned around and I saw her face, it became obvious she must’ve been about 13-15. This is just one case too but things like this have happened pretty regularly.

I really don’t know if attire has really changed since I was younger, if it’s the changes in puberty as people have been pointing out, or if it’s something that developed in my own brain, but it’s something that kinda makes me wish lobotomies were still acceptable.

I’m not worried I’ll act on it one day as I’m not an impulsive person but it’s really just the fact that I have these intrusive thoughts that causes me frustration. Even though common sense would tell me other guys most likely deal with this, I understand that this being arguably the most taboo and demonized topic is reason for others to not admit this kind of thing but I really feel like an odd one out with no support for dealing with it.
