Okay sorry but this will be slightly tmi.
So I've always thought of myself as someone who has self-control but lately that has not at all been the case. I have a friend who is really dtf all the time and like I am always telling myself that I do not want a sexual relationship with him but as soon as I'm horny I cannot resist, I always end up sexting him . As soon as it's over my normal self returns and I feel completely disgusted with myself, like what happened to self-control. But another problem with this is that I haven't lost my v at age 17 and so I guess because I'm lonely (tmi warning) he's come to be the one thing I can masturbate over and it's weird, like some kind of drug, as cliché as that sounds. I always end up disappointed with myself afterwards but as soon as I'm horny it's weird because my entire mindset changes and it just seems like such a good idea, and I have no reason. It isn't too creepy because he's told me he does it over me, as a disclaimer.
If you've read this far, do you know how I can gain self-control? I want to have control over myself and not being able to control myself when horny feels dangerous because I am horny very often. I really don't want to get to the point where I'm hooking up with this guy (he's nice but I worry that I'll catch feelings, which is really not something I want to do. I want to explore other people first).
Thank you for understanding.
