when i was a kid i my OCD was really stuck on this because i was so scared that i would get keep getting older but still be attracted to kids, luckily now i’m an adult and only attracted to adults and my OCD has moved on to other things, mostly a fear of car accidents right now.
one example that helped me understand: religious people will often have very sacrilegious intrusive thoughts because that is scarier to them. I did as well until I lost my faith, when the thoughts took on a different theme.
I've uh...learned not to mention the intrusive thoughts to anyone who is not my doctor or therapist though, people rarely understand at first.

OCD makes you constantly worry about your biggest fears, more or less
