Brief Answer:
Sexual obsession are common in OCD

Detailed Answer:
Dear XXXXXXX
Thanks for using Healthcaremagic.

I read your query and understand your concerns.

Considering the fact that you are above 40 (beyond the paraphilia age range), known case of obsessive compulsive disorder, Never had idea of paraphilia during young age, responded well to anti obsessional medication (fluoxetine), it is almost clear that your sexual thoughts are part of OCD to which you suffered over the last few years.

My opinion is based on the fact that sexual obsessions of different kind are very common in obsessive compulsive disorder and having stress about these thoughts clearly points out against paraphilia.

I hope this answers you.
Feel free to write back to me if you have more questions.
Thanks and regards.

Brief Answer:
Yes both are different things

Detailed Answer:
Hello,
Thanks for follow up.

I understand your concerns and distress out of these sexual thoughts. Your repeated asking is enough to tell me that there is no paraphilia and the sexual thoughts are part of OCD.

As you said not having enjoyment with sexual thoughts is another indicator of OCD rather than paraphilia.

I hope this answers you further.
Thanks and regards.
