Sexual Thoughts and Time

Hello,

I'm a 16-year-old who has been doing NoFap since March this year (Not sure of the exact date). I haven't watched (requited) Porn, masturbated or had an orgasm. I've had the idea of NoFap since I was 15, and went through a NoFap streak during my summer break (it wasn't a very good one). I started up again in March and was able to get through the harder days by focussing on my GCSEs, as they were months away. I'm quite proud of where I am now, as I feel in control of that fucking unbearable debate in your head that goes: "Watch Porn! [...] No! [...] Watch Porn! [...] No!"

I'm especially proud of myself when it comes to my friends in my group chat, who post videos from the deepest corners of Twitter, and I don't watch them. Even if I do, as soon as I get the slightest inkling of Porn or some IG model, I'm GONE! Right now, I am happy with where I am in terms of PMO - that beast is almost conquered!

I say almost because there is one thing that I find strenuous: I've experienced a lot of sexual thoughts, mainly when I'm going to sleep.

Telling myself to "Stop!" and "I won't shut my eyes until 'you' go down!" is how I cope. It takes time, but it's effective.

However, they won't stop; I've had days where there aren't any thoughts whatsoever, but it's still so inconvenient, even so far as to say diminishing. I'll tell myself, "isn't NoFap suppose to rid me of these thoughts? Then why am I still having them?"

My general theory is that I am 16, and puberty/hormones are still raging.

Or, I'm going through a prolonged urge right now: I had an unbearable week about a month ago where I had three wet dreams - two days consecutively and one later in the week. I'd never had a wet dream before, so it caught me off guard, and I felt the urges getting stronger, giving evidence of a prolonged urge, I suppose; I don't count it as a relapse, but it set me back mentally for a bit. Closest I've got to the "Watch Porn!" argument succeeding.

So, my main question is: will these thoughts end? I try my hardest to suppress them whenever they come up, and I succeed often, but it's most certainly annoying, and at times they last more seconds before I get a grip and stop, etc.

Thanks for reading!
