How do I cope with my hormones such as depression and boy “stuff”?

If you would like a psychological perspective on sex and sexual thoughts, here you go:

In adolescence, the human mind goes through some startling changes along with the body; as the brain continues to physically grow and mature, new neurons and synapses begin to fire, connecting new parts of the brain and creating new sensory pathways, making way for sexual thoughts and impulses.

Sometimes, we have ideas about sex that conflict between how we were taught or what we picked up over the years and how we feel on the inside. This difference, this internal friction, is called "dissonance". Dissonance naturally seeks resolution, as our minds are not very fond of conflicting ideas.

Somewhere along the way, you picked up feelings or ideas that conflict with your sexual impulses and it is making you feel bad, well here is the way it really is in the adult world: you do not ever need forgiveness for your sexual thoughts. Your sexual thoughts are nobody's business but your own, and in that same vein, never justify your desires to anyone, and never be afraid to deny that they turn you on and invigorate you.

There is no "unacceptable" because there is no authority over sexual thoughts, there is no "forgiveness" because you are not doing anything wrong.

So relax! Enjoy your private sexual fantasies, and do not forget that you owe nobody an explanation for how you fantasize about them (unless they are fantasizing about you as well, but that is another conversation entirely).

It is never a bad thing to feel like this, everyone does one time or another. But if you take them into actions at too early of an age or before marriage, then it is a harmful deed. But everything is forgivable, just not everyone does forgive. So remember to not take it to action too early of age and you'll be fine. Good luck!

You're just horny lol. It's nothing to be ashamed of or embarrassed about. Everyone but Sheldon Cooper has these urges.

Hi, don't worry you sound normal. Do you enjoy writing or creating. Maybe putting your emotions in art would help. Also do you have a trusted teacher or school counselor you could speak with? Best wishes to you.

Jonathan, terrific answer! Honestly lilRavenAngel, (s)he is right! There is no acceptable or unacceptable over sexual thoughts. They are your thoughts or fantasies. Everyone as they grow & mature goes through this sort of conflicting experience between beliefs and physical urges. It is normal. "Our bodies ourselves" might be a good book for you to read or at least gloss over. When I was young no one taught you much. So if you can talk to your mom or a therapist then it will make you feel better hopefully. Take good care of yourself
