I can relate because I have HOCD where I obsess about my sexuality, too. I find it most helpful just to ignore the thoughts and they have less power over me. I don't even talk about the thoughts. I just tell myself "this is OCD, not me." I hope that helps. I also take Xanax when the anxiety becomes intense. Best wishes that these thoughts will stop plaguing us both soon.
