Fear of pregnancy/ STD
I have suffered from OCD for much of my life, and every time I have a sexual (even a low risk one) I suffer intense anxiety and guilt.
A man I was seeing broke up with me a few weeks and I have been feeling quite heartbroken.
I went back to my home state and foolishly had a sexual encounter with an old friend two nights ago. I feel guilty over the encounter, guilty at the thought of leading my old friend on and stupid for making such a mistake. I’m clearly not ready to be with someone else right now.
We did not have sex. Sorry for TMI, I gave him a handjob and he fingered me for awhile. He not ejaculate but he did have some pre-ejaculate. My fear is that some of his pre-ejaculate was on his hand when he fingered me..leading to pregnancy or an STD. My compulsion is to check the internet which I have been doing all day. Most sites said that my fears were unwarranted, that things were so unlikely it is practically impossible. But all I could hold onto were the answers suggesting that it was theoretically possible. I’ve been in a panic, even though my logic tells me it’s not possible.
Any advice?
