OCD and childhood sexual mistakes

Postby regretman30 » Thu Feb 25, 2021 10:38 am

Hello everybody

I'm a 30 years old man. To be honest, I'm a straight guy who don't have any attraction to men.

But since last year, I started remembering an inappropriate sexual thing I did with my brother when I was 13 and he's 11.

At that time, I shared same bed with him. One night, when he was sleeping, I pulled down his short and rubbed my penis between his buttocks. I had no intention of penetrating and the fact was I did not touch his anal or penetrate into him because I didn't want to awake him.

When I did this, I known it's wrong. But deeply in my mind, I thought that real sex is only between male and female, I didn't really know what "gay" is.

After that, we was growing up as normal guys, had no sexual attraction to male. I forgot this stuff for nearly 17 years and our relationship is good.

But since I recovered this memory, I feel guilty and anxious everyday. My obsession about this event develops to OCD. I'm always in two mind: It's normal experimentation between boys, or I abused him? The real event is that I didn't force or use violence and no penetration, but he was sleeping so there was no consent. I wonder if my case is considered as rape?.

Please help me.

"It's normal experimentation between boys"
or at least it would be, if he'd been participating. But if he didn't wake up, it can't bother him—so why does it bother you?

I personally would file it under masturbation. Whatever it was, it certainly wasn't rape.

Thank you for your response. I have many "what if" question because of ocd. I'm afraid that he known what I did and just pretended to sleep because he didn't want to make me ashamed. Anyway, your answer help me too much. I will not seek for reassurance anymore.

Thanks alot Candid.
