It is normal to have some sexual thoughts from time to time, however if you are struggling with intrusive sexual thoughts that are affecting your daily life, there are a few steps you can take. Firstly it is important to understand what is causing the intrusive thoughts in the first place. This might be related to experiences from the past, mental health issues or hormonal changes. Once you have identified what may be causing these thoughts, seek professional help if needed or talk with someone you trust about how you feel. In addition therapy could involve desensitization techniques where cognitive behavioral therapy and exposure work together to challenge and replace negative self-beliefs as well as relaxation techniques such as mindfulness and yoga which can help reduce anxiety levels associated with the intrusive thoughts.
