I have the same problem...and that's NOT who I am, I have prayed about this and I still do it...HELP
- take ppl in ur vision the way YOU want it to be taken in, not how you think THEY want to be looked at.
- follow YOUR rythm, YOUR feelings in social settings , what feels good to YOU and try erase ‘ THEM’ people.
What feels comfortable to YOU, is all that matters. If YOU are feeling comfortable, chances are others feel comfortable easier. It takes practice.

Your best bet would be to start with a psychologist. They teach cognitive behavioral therapy (or at least you should look for one that does). Together you can come up with a treatment plan. If it comes down to taking medication, then the psychologist can put you in touch with a psychiatrist.

I had the same problem..with males and females.I suffered a lot socially.I became isolated due to this problem.But then I found a Solution..I found out there are 3 aspects to this problem..
.A} Concentrating while talking to people (It became impossible due to this problem) and second is:
B} Social Anxiety: This problem is basically due to some form of social anxiety.So the solution is to get rid of the social Anxiety.This I did in stages...
Step 1) While walking,whoever passes you by, you should stare at people in their eyes.This should be done each and every time..after about 5-10 days of doing this,the next step is:
Step 2) Approach random people and talk to them..This is easier said than done.My way was to stop different people randomly and ask random addresses.This would initiate a conversation and then I would make it a point to look at them in the eye while doing this..Even if I stared at their private parts during this conversation,it would not affect me as there would be no shame as I would never meet those people again..Iniating conversation with strangers greatly reduced my social anxiety and as a result I became confident while talking to people and my OCD significantly reduced.Doing this for around 15 to 20 days significantly reduced the social anxiety I had in talking to people..
For further improvement you can practice conversations with the people already burnt(People who know you have this problem) and other strangers to gain confidence.
Doing the above things reduced my problems for upto 70 percent of the times.But..
C} The third problem being: I noticed that even after practicing all these things I still used to look at breasts and crotches( If they were right in the line of my vision).So to find a solution to this problem,I decided to apply the ERP technique on my own..that is : While talking to women and men,consciously but subtly look at their private parts.Doing this, I believe the fear and curiosity vanishes.
I am still applying this third problem's solution.I am sure within a month or so,I will be free of OCD (fingers crossed).
Do these things step by step i.e
1) Concentration improvement by Meditation (I do Yoga)
2) Social anxiety reduction by the way of starting a conversation with random people many times.
3) Removal of curiosity by subtly staring at the private parts.
I hope this will help all you guys.Be sure to continue doing these above steps everyday for atleast 4-5 months to remove your OCD problem asap forever.This worked for me.
Best wishes.

Dear Kappa, I have almost the same problem. I am also starring at people, especially males (I am a woman), and it is so embarrassing for me, since I have never been kind of girl who checks out other man. I am not starring at their private parts, but more in whole person., which is also very disturbing.I have a good husband and a wonderful daughter (7 years old). No matter, very young, old, middle aged, my eyes are involuntary moving to this person. Sometimes this also includes woman and kids. I am also not pervert, and I don't think about sex when I am doing this, I am just afraid, and try to stop, but I can't.And when people notice this, they are rejecting me,or laughing at me. I am unable to work, shift stores where I shop, I am embarrassed to go to the kindergarten to pick up my little girl. It has been like this for more than five years. I tried psychotherapy, medications, nothing helped. I am constantly thinking about killing myself, the only think that stops me is my daughter. I told my husband and my family, but they don't understand. I desperately need help. If you have found a way to stop with this please write me, even if you didn't ...
Hi. Do you wear glasses? Just add a strip of scotch tape across the bottom third of the outside of the lenses. Cut to fit so it doesn't look funny. That should solve your problem and give you your life back again!

Hi there. So if you don't have the ability to see a psychologist then you need to learn things on your own. Can you access the book The OCD Workbook: Your Guide to Breaking free of OCD? In the states it could be ordered on Amazon but not sure what you have available to you in India.
well.....i belong to small place from india....pyschologists are not available here :(
that means ive to use medication as well as E&RP treatment i.e. to face that situation which i always fear while talking with people........but how should i start?
