hi doctor I am a 25 year old male I am scared of turning into a gay or homosexual in the past I had senseless and intrusive images popping in my head that I am kissing a guy whenever I used to be with my male friends I never felt an attraction towards any guy it happened six years before but never thought about the reason this thing stopped when I asked about this issue to a doctor and he said it as ocd everything was fine for over six to seven months but when I over think about why I am getting those images in my mind then the thing gets worse I check every time when I see a guy whether I am attracted to him or not indeed it sounds like I have gone mad in my office there is a guy who is very attractive but when I fantasize him just to check whether I am normal or turning into a gay I feel weird but I cannot stop myself looking at him I envy him too because I always wanted personality health and voice like him whenever I see him I feel something different as if I am looking a girl I am scared now please help
