You need to practice ERP with an ocd specialist.

Basically, you have to accept the uncertainty (“maybe I am gay and in denial, I might never know for sure”) and stop doing compulsions. This is easier said than done, but it is totally possible! Like pureolife said, ERP therapy is the way to go.

Mine went away after another type of ocd set in. It will grind you for sure but just keep yourself so busy into other stuff which in my case resulted into another type of ocd but helped me get rod of one of the biggest ocd i had i.e. HOCD. You will recover, all the best

Sounds like your OCD did some “theme hopping.” I’m glad this helped reduce your distress level! For others, the OCD could focus on a new theme that they find even more distressing - important to note that staying busy without addressing the OCD itself won’t be a solution for everyone.

@Orange-Colored_Glasses True Anyways i feel i have some kind of an ocd with my hair. I constanty check my hair and touch them. Even though i have buzzed it off thinking that it would help me forget about it. But still i have episodes of checking it in the mirror and seeing a few 2-5 hair in my hand gives me extreme anxiety
