I'm sorry I made a post about this already, but I have some more questions. To recap: I was diagnosed with OCD about a year ago but it has been the worst right now. About a month ago, I started becoming very fearful and paranoid about semen being everywhere, on my things at home, on light switches, doorknobs, everything. This is because when I masturbated, I wasn't sure if I washed my hands afterward, before touching a lightswitch. I also think that the semen could have dripped on the floor or on an object. Since I think I touched the lightswitch before washing the semen off my hands, I think that the semen has spread to the lightswitch, which I then touched after washing and then touched some of my books, video games, cell phone, door knob, etc. Now, I feel that everything of mine is contaminated with semen because the semen was transferred from one object to another by me touching it. This bothers me greatly and I really need help because I don't know how to make it stop bothering me. I was wiping my objects off with antibacterial wipes but my doctor said not to wipe. I really want to wipe but there is so much that I feel is contaminated that it would be impossible to wipe it all. Help me please. I don't feel comfortable thinking I have semen on my things. My questions are as follows. Is semen something to be feared? Can it hurt you and is it clean or dirty? Does it eventually dissolve, disintegrate, or decompose after drying and how long does it take to do so? What SHOULD be feared instead of semen, if it is not harmful? Can semen be transferred by touching something after you touched something that you believe it is on? Is it easy to spot semen on objects and what will it look like if it is? How many times showering does it take to get rid of semen on the body? If someone can answer these questions it could help me out. If anyone has gone through something like this and has conquered it, how did you do it? Is it irrational to have a fear like this? I am getting to the point where I can't live normally anymore and want to get back to my normal life so please someone tell me how.
