I've had similar visions ... totally socially inappropriate except they were of violence instead of sexual acts ... doc told they were a common effect of anxiety problems ... most of it went away when I started taking effexor for my depression.
The way I see it, my brain was picturing the most horrible acts possible because it was just constanly worried about anything and everything.
I understand how troubled you can be ... they are prutty frightening. I felt like a freak when for no reason I had the urge to pick the pigeon who was in front of me and felt like crushing it and bittin his head of ... or stuff like impulses of breaking my own bones ... sort of like a morbid curiosity crap ... wondering what the sound would be like when the bones broke ... .or grabbing people and smashing their heads into walls ... again wondering about noise and what their reactions would be.
I felt like there was somebody else in my head .... giving me theses thoughs ... that they didn't really come from me.
They can be intrusive but I've never acted upon them ... it helped a bit if I tried shifting my focus on something else or start runnig or go exercise ... it seemed to help get rid of the tension.
You should definately talk about it with your doctor ... there are ways to get rid of those. I'm prutty sure if you explain that those are disturbing to you ... not fantasies then he will understand and not see you as a sex-deranged person.
