Worried about germs - is this OCD?

Question - (15 July 2010) 1 Answers - (Newest, 15 July 2010)
A male United States age 41-50, *delapena writes:

How can I deal with my wife's kissing. Yes I have been bothered by the fact that she has dated at least 5 guys. Thankfully she did not do the dirty deed with them. But I am somewhat of a germ-freak, and whenever I kiss her all I can think about is all those germs from her ex's going into my mouth...just disgusted thinking about it.

There is nothing I can do, I wash my mouth 10 times a day, and 10 times every night. She rarely washes her mouth...and that is what worries me.

Yes even with my ex, I did not want to kiss her because of the same reason. Our first kiss, I had to wash my mouth as soon as I got home. After sex, I would pour isopropyl alcohol all over my pubic region just to disinfect it. Is this OCD, or just insecurities?

I think it could be OCD. But only a psychiatrist would be able to tell you for sure. You should probably talk about this with someone, to see what it is. It might be insecurities, but it does sound like OCD to be honest. Like I said though, you should talk about this with someone.
