Hello lms86,
Ocd can manifest itself in many different ways. Constant obsessing can be part of the wide curtain that falls under the ocd headline. Im not a doctor but i have and do suffer from obsessional ocd. Im also aware that some sufferers worry about if they're gay or not. Your not alone in this. I think its best to talk to a therapist. Years ago I really had to get the the courage to talk about my scary obsessions and once I did It made all the difference in the world. Trying to keep those thoughts and wonders and obsessions bottled up in your mind will never lead you to freedom. I dont know your situation but I believe if you ask your therapist to keep your sessions confidential, im sure he or she would respect your wishes. I know its hard to go in there wondering if they're gonna think your "crazy" but they wont! therapist have heard a lot. good luck to you.
s.
