Q: Sexual thoughts while purging

I've recently regressed back into the habit. I've been on a month long cycle of binging/purging on a bi-weekly basis.

I have lots of details that I could discuss about my disorder but I have only one issue that has compelled me to finally post on a board about it.
The last few purges I've had sexual thoughts.
It's a little scary because I can imagine that this is not common. It's like I have been using it to distract my mind from what I'm doing so that I can focus on the purging. It also seems to be heightening the "pleasure" I'm receiving from the Endorphin release associated with my purging. I'm afraid of the possibilities of what this could mean.

I am going to an E.D. therapy group tomorrow night.
Until then I just want to know if anyone else has this sort of thing happen.

I have never heard of that but I am glad you are going for treatment. Please do not purge and ruin your health. It can ruin your teeth, and it is not a pretty site. Try to eat healthy, take vitamins, and be active. You have to be strong and fight off the urges.
