I have recently been wondering if I actually have OCD or if i'm just a pedophile. I am not directly attracted to little kids but sometimes I fear I might prefer them to an unattractive woman (although I don't necessarily have to lower my standards to unattractive females). I also think I DO find girls in early puberty attractive. I am just all around terrified & want to vomit when I think these thoughts. In no way do I feed the thoughts, masturbate to them or look at child pornography. I am absolutely disgusted with myself. I am only 23 & my life is horrible due to the paralyzing nature of these thoughts. Any kind words or advice would be greatly appreciated.
Very sick, please help.

Not sure what it means, but I've heard of other people with OCD having thoughts very much like this without actually being pedophiles.
You are not a pedophile, a pedophile isn't afraid of what he is or his thoughts. You have Pure O which is just the ocd thoughts ,you dont have a compulsions for trying to control them I guess yet, like hand washing, checking, etc.
You won't ever act on these thoughts. As a matter of fact your probably far from being a pedophile. How do I explain this? Basically A truely crazy person won't ask if their crazy. Basically if you feel ashamed and these thoughts are unwanted you are not a pedophile. If your Pure O is getting out of control get help or read up on it as much as possible to get a better understanding.
