Intrusive thoughts.. Possible HOCD?

I have already posted a thread on this somewhere on the forum but I feel like I didn't explain myself very well. I'm 18, male and from England. I haven't been diagnosed with OCD but my mother has mentioned she has OCD tendencies, but I don't know if she's been diagnosed. For what that matters.

For the past 3-4 days, I have had a reoccurring thought of "Are you gay?". It's almost as if my brain is asking me a question. It's been almost all day, coming and going. At first, I was like "No, I'm not gay" but the question kept reappearing. I tried to just ignore it, but the more I did, the more it appeared. It feels like a constant question. I feel confused and kind of upset.

I've always loved girls, dated them, felt feelings for, engaged in sex with and so forth. I am currently dating someone now for whom I have feelings for her and feel sexually aroused when we're kissing etc. But this question seems to be stuck in my mind.

My attitude towards homosexuality is a comfortable one, I have gay friends and family and don't feel it's a shameful thing, like a lot of society seem to. I wouldn't be bothered If I was gay or bisexual, but I know I'm not. I don't feel attraction towards men.

In the past someone has asked me If I'm gay, in a joking manner, and I've laughed it off and thought nothing of it.

I just want to not be phased by the thought, instead of dwelling on it.

Any help appreciated.

There's only one way to know for sure. Go out and get yourself a fine male hunny.

Sounds like you are getting caught up in having to know an answer as opposed to living with the uncertainty that the OCD creates. This may be helpful:
