Brief Answer:
You are not XXXXXXX absolutely.

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thank you for the question

The doctor you visited is right. You cannot turn XXXXXXX in future. That is for sure.

You are 25. You should know every male has a small attraction towards other handsome male. Such attraction may be sexual or may not. In both these cases, the attraction feeling is not XXXXXXX orientation or homosexuality.

Other male feeling you as attractive is not your mistake. It is not because you have XXXXXXX orientation. Other male may find you (or anybody for that matter) attractive because their orientation maybe XXXXXXX Not yours.

Your natural attraction towards female is unhampered. That itself is the satisfactory positive point and answer to your question. XXXXXXX oriented male will not have sexual attraction towards female.

In view of all the above fact, I assure you, even if you are attracted towards a man, YOU ARE NOT XXXXXXX

Take care.

Brief Answer:
Please follow the given tips.

Detailed Answer:
Dear
Thank you for the follow up

First of all you should understand and confirm yourself that you are not and cannot become a XXXXXXX

This assurance by me and your self assurance in itself is enough for you to ignore your thoughts about being attractive or being attracted towards men.

You are having these fear mainly because you fear the fear itself. That is obsessive and in one way justifies your OCD. But I will not diagnose you are OCD because you just have obsession with only one fear, and that is not OCD.

Therefore I sincerely suggest,
1.Reiterate yourself several time that you are not and cannot become XXXXXXX
2. Whenever you have this obsessive thought, ignore it.
3. Be active and engage in active entertaining activities.

Your problem will be solved within a week if you follow these three steps. I assure you.

Take care.
