Do I have HOCD?

Hi I have posted on this forum once before but I just need some help. I feel like I have had HOCD for a long time (since maybe 6th grade). It just hit me when I was in sixth grade and it freaked me out for quite a long time and then eventually went away. From that point on until my freshman year in highschool (I am now a junior) it would bother me from time to time the thought of being gay and it would usually stay a long time. It just freaks me out with the thought of being gay because I do not want to be and I have never had a sexual attraction to a guy before. I've only had sexual thoughts with women. Please help me and tell me if this is HOCD or not, thank you.

it will bother u because  ur  not doing what should be done to get free from ocd, basically by posting again and again ur seeking reassurance which is a compulsive behaviour a part of ocd cycle, stop doing that and go to a pychiatrist and start taking a medicine, also learn cbt from a ocd specialist so that u can get relived from ur symptoms.

dont seek reassurance , it will not help

I have tried to listen to the advice given and I will admit it relieves the thoughts but it has still been bothering me a little bit.
