What do you call this symptom?

nurseboy, that is typical ocd, the more repulsed by the thought then the more you are going to have it. The spitting and actual feeling like it's happening is just you being really caught up in your thoughts. If you can take the repulsion and fear out of your thoughts they will go away. The more you don't want them to happen then the more they will bother you.

i've never been sexually abused or performed oral on a man...i guess it is just a repulsive ocd thought that is so strong that i "feel it" by my mouth and need to spit! CRAZY!

I can see that everyone is just clamouring to answer your questions to this one. Well, now I will ask you some stupid questions; have you ever done it in real life? Were you sexually abused as a child? Do these thoughts repulse you? I guess that is the problem, right? If you could stop the thoughts you would? I have never had such thoughts, however, I know that my friends thought that I did because I had fear of blushing, and they thought I was blushing for that very reason, around the opposite sex mostly, but sometimes around the same sex also, like fear of all people; but others have thought it was obsessions of a sexual nature. But actually I didn't have that. I just seemed more afraid of men through my life. Perhaps because I grew up with an alcoholic father. But I wonder if I do have obsessive thoughts of falling in love with no control over my passions. And perhaps these lead to blushing. I would like to know what your doctor told you about your symptoms, because I would like to know if my symptoms are similar in nature to yours, only different in content. Sorry, I did not have a similar experience exactly, but I admire your guts for revealing your thoughts. I have other weird compulsive thoughts though, such as wishing I could be a prophetess or something, or do something special with my life. Maybe it's because I feel like I haven't done enough or found out what I was meant to be or to do. Then imagination takes over and I go into dream land. I just wish I could use that creativity in a healthy way and make money out of it somehow, like write a book or something.

I have had this symtpom which my psych said is not a halluciation. It is embarassing but here goes...I have ocd and have the repulsive thoughts of seeing people of my same sex naked. Usually it focuses on the genitalia. It is a typical ocd thought and so it doesn't bother me. But, It goes further. Sometimes I actually imagine the oral sex scene and their anatomical part in my mouth or by my mouth. I know that it isn't there but it FEELS like it is. And of course, as i ignore it, it gets worse and i'll turn my head or spit thinking what am i doing?....there is no part by my mouth. I do this with smells also. I'll picture a person's butt hole and get repulsed...whic is a typical OCD...but then i get thoughts that i can smell it...which of course i can't! My psych tells me it is just the ocd and not hallucinations but IT FREAKS ME OUT!
