| 0:00.0 | Hey, deserving listeners, today's episode is about pedophilia OCD or pedophilia-themed obsessive-compulsive disorder. |
| 0:09.6 | I've received a number of requests to talk about this over the years, and I thought I would talk about it today. |
| 0:18.2 | So, pedophilia-themed OCD is a subtype of OCD in that the individual |
| 0:24.5 | suffers from intrusive, unwanted thoughts about being sexually attracted to children, |
| 0:30.2 | despite having no desire or intent to act on those thoughts. Now, that might sound a little |
| 0:37.4 | funny if you don't know the difference between |
| 0:40.0 | pedophilia and pedophilia OCD because you might be thinking, well, if someone has intrusive |

| 1:19.3 | isn't necessarily going to convey a complete understanding of it. It's, you know, quite particular |
| 1:26.4 | and has a lot of nuances to it. |
| 1:28.1 | But in general, the way that I see obsessive compulsive disorder is that we need to start with the obsessions. |
| 1:35.9 | Often we focus on the compulsions, right? |
| 1:38.5 | When you think of OCD, you think about the person who washes their hands all day or they count tiles on the wall or they need to, when they enter a room, they have to switch the light on and off three times before they feel okay. |
| 1:52.5 | Because those are the things that are often seen by other people. |
| 1:56.3 | They're noticeable. |
