Contamination OCD around Semen (the thing no one wants to talk about)
This video is for educational purposes only and is not intended to replace the guidance of a qualified professional.
When OCD latches onto themes that feel embarrassing or “gross,” kids often shut down. But avoiding the topic feeds the shame and the cycle. This week’s YouTube video speaks directly to them — with clarity, compassion, and hope.
Contamination OCD isn’t just about germs —
OCD can center around bodily fluids like saliva, urine, blood — and more often than people think, semen. Which adds another layer of shame and silence.
Sometimes the fear comes from feeling grossed out.
Other times, it’s tied to fears of being “bad,” immoral, or spreading “disgust.”
Either way, the distress is real — and the compounding shame makes it even harder to deal with.
In this video, I talk about how OCD can twist ordinary things into sources of fear, including bodily fluid like semen. I explore why this happens, and how they can take steps towards crushing OCD.
