I don’t want to give you reassurance, because I know that will ultimately be detrimental in your recovery from OCD. I’ll say this though - the sexualization of culture & the availability of pornography all can make someone stray from the path of normality. This can be changed though. You’re just going to need to detox from Porn. I think that you’re obsessed with your sexuality, and you have a compulsion to watch porn, whether it is to prove that you aren’t gay, into weird stuff, etc - that is beyond me. But you need to immediately stop watching porn. That’s indulging your compulsions. When you get anxious about your sexuality, just breathe and say “maybe I am gay. Maybe I am bisexual. Maybe I’m not. Maybe I’m straight. Maybe I am, maybe I’m not.” Look up this channel on YouTube - it’s called “OCD and anxiety.” The guy is really helpful. But above all, please, look into therapy. NOCD is a great thing and ERP with an actual therapist will help immensely

So you actually have a porn addiction (which means you've tried to quit and failed repeatedly, you watch it frequently and prioritise it over other more important things, you spend time or money on it that you don't have, etc?). A lot of people come on here and say they have a porn problem when actually they watch a normal amount of porn and just have a shame problem.
