    Why be scared? It doesn't matter. Would finding women attractive be all that awful? Sexual identity does not have to be fixed. There is no law of the universe that says so. For what it is worth, my advice is just to relax. The thoughts will either go away, or stay. If they go away, then no problem. If they stay, then you will have to decide what to do about them.

    First of all
    You cannot turn straight.
    you could be bisexual, pansexual or whatever
    You could have ocd.
    I do not know you and i am not a psychiatrist

    Don't be scared. Its all OK. As ShaiHulud said, you cannot turn straight. If you find that you are not 100% exclusively gay, then that's fine. But there is no need to panic. It will all work out in time.

    So a gay man can have these thoughts and images and still be gay?

    Ok lets talk about it.
    Sexuality is not that simple, society tries to put labels, but it is more than that.
    I would call myself gay, because i have no sexual or emotional interest in women, i do not care about dating them or having sex with them, but many times in my life i thought that a girl was hot and sexy, Does that make me straight or bisexual? NO.
    I watched many times straight porn and i enjoyed seeing naked girls, but i still label as gay.
    Now if you remember the first times you had sexual attraction towards men, you probably had a mix of curiosity, you felt excited but worried and scared at the same time. Are these thoughts similar to the gay ones?
    Do these thoughts come because you openly create them or are they intrusive?
    do you feel guilty and in panic after those thoughts?
    If someone say to you NO YOU ARE GAY does that make you feel happy and relaxed, but then after maybe 1 hour you start to have that feeling of worry and panic?
    Do you try to test yourself to see if you are straight or gay? (like searching for pictures, videos, or straight articles/forums etc)
