ABSTRACT

Felix is hooked on the obsession of feeling dirty; because of it, he avoids using credit cards, writing utensils from a public area, public restrooms, shared keyboards, and doorknobs. He usually wears long-sleeved sweaters so he can pull the sleeves down to hold any of those items when necessary. Felix doesn’t like his OCD episodes because they’ve started affecting his relationship with his girlfriend: he now brushes his teeth immediately after kissing his girlfriend, asks her to take a shower before having sex, inspects the sheets on the bed, and changes his towel every day.
