I often pay attention to the sensations in my genital area, and sometimes when I sit, I can feel those sensations.
Since I frequently watch adult films, I often have sexual thoughts when I see women.
I wonder if you could give me some advice.

Hello: If it is very frequent (many times a day), it is advisable to seek help from a psychiatrist.
If it is 1-2 times a day, it should be manageable; the focus should be on redirecting attention and getting accustomed to shifting focus.
Wishing you good health.

More Info


Understanding sexual thoughts and feelings is a complex topic that intertwines biological, psychological, and social factors. As you mentioned, you often find yourself experiencing sensations in your genital area, especially when you are exposed to sexual stimuli, such as adult films. This is a common experience, as sexual arousal can be triggered by various stimuli, including visual cues, thoughts, and even physical sensations.

From a urological perspective, it is important to understand that the human body is wired to respond to sexual stimuli. The sensations you feel in your genital area can be a natural response to sexual arousal. This response is mediated by the nervous system, which activates blood flow to the genital region, leading to feelings of pleasure or discomfort depending on the context. If you find that these sensations are frequent and sometimes distracting, it may be helpful to explore ways to manage your sexual thoughts and feelings.

Here are some suggestions that may help you navigate your experiences:
1. Mindfulness and Awareness: Practicing mindfulness can help you become more aware of your thoughts and feelings without judgment. This can involve paying attention to your body and sensations in a non-reactive way. Mindfulness can help you understand your sexual thoughts better and reduce any anxiety associated with them.

2. Healthy Sexual Expression: Engaging in healthy sexual expression is important. This can include masturbation, which is a normal and healthy way to explore your sexuality. However, if you find that your consumption of adult films is leading to compulsive behaviors or interfering with your daily life, it may be worth considering reducing your exposure or seeking alternative forms of sexual expression.

3. Understanding Sexual Orientation: It seems you have sexual thoughts about women, which is a normal part of sexual orientation. Understanding your sexual orientation can help you navigate your feelings and desires. If you feel comfortable, exploring these feelings in a safe and consensual environment can be beneficial.

4. Seeking Professional Guidance: If you find that your sexual thoughts are causing distress or confusion, it may be helpful to speak with a mental health professional or a sex therapist. They can provide a safe space to discuss your feelings and help you understand them better. They can also offer strategies to cope with any anxiety or discomfort you may experience.

5. Education on Sexual Health: Educating yourself about sexual health, anatomy, and the psychological aspects of sexuality can empower you to understand your body and feelings better. There are many resources available, including books, reputable websites, and workshops that focus on sexual health and wellness.

6. Social Connections: Building healthy relationships with others can also help you explore your sexuality in a supportive environment. Engaging in social activities, joining clubs, or participating in discussions about sexuality can provide you with insights and support from others who may have similar experiences.

In summary, experiencing sexual thoughts and sensations is a normal part of human sexuality. Understanding and managing these feelings can lead to a healthier relationship with your sexuality. If you find that your thoughts are overwhelming or confusing, seeking professional help can provide you with the tools and support you need to navigate your experiences. Remember, sexuality is a spectrum, and exploring it in a safe and healthy way is key to personal well-being.
