I hate having to deal with my sexuality (Am I crazy)

Topics: frustrated, sex
Just some general information about me
-Male
-Straight
-18 years old
-I'm not very Religious
-I am a workaholic
-I am a virgin
It seems that every cell in my body is telling me to have sex, but my mind is telling me otherwise. I can't think of any logical reason to have sex, expect kids (but I support the childfree movement), yet I long for it. I've only seen sex bring misery and suffering (except in two couples), yet I want it. This contradiction is starting to kill me. I find myself fantasizing a lot.
It's not that sex is getting in my way, in fact my parents tell me I have to relax more before I burn myself out. I basically got all "A"s in high school and I'm going to an Ivy League college. But, if I didn't have to deal with my sexuality, I would have more time to work. My life plan has no room for sex, yet I long for touch. I could do so much more if I could some how cut sexuality out of my life.
I don't know how to make sense of it. I don't get why I'm so confused and frustrated. Others seem to comprehend this, I don't. Others seem comfortable with sex and do it without a second thought, I've been tortured thinking about this. I hate having this animal side. I hate this illogical process in my mind that seeks sex. Why can't I be a computer? All I want to do is achieve my dreams and sex does fit into them. Can you help me? Am I crazy?

Yes, you are KRAZY!!!
"I've only seen sex bring misery and suffering" not drugs, not war, not hunger but SEX?? what our bodies naturally need and hunger for? it's like saying food and water bring only suffering. I mean I have nothing against you being a virgin because I waited too and I believe that sex is sacred because our bodies are and we should share both with only someone we love or at least care for. But when you find that person, instead of wishing you could be a computer, do them like one just don't forget to put on a firewall

Don't go by what others do. Most people in this world do the wrong thing. The best fun is just going on dates in your 20s. When you get older you will know spending time with someone you like is more fun than sex is. A lot of people smoke pot and take drugs. You want to follow them also?

If you're gonna do it, do it right. Have sex and then smoke pot afterwards. Maybe then you'll relax for a minute or two and stop worrying about some robotic life plan.
What's that saying? "The best laid plans of mice and men often go astray..." Just relax enjoy being young and don't worry about plans.

Please remember that you are in fact Human and not a Vulcan.
"I hate this illogical process in my mind"
At 18 I thought I knew everything, at 27 I now realise that I knew nothing then about life and only know a bit more now.
and No you are not crazy.-
lol Aron,that's what I'm talking about.
My blog is actually created by aliens in space who use my robotic, engineered likability to lure virgin teens in and destroy them. Our plan is to use their virgin scents to fuel our weapons and take over your planet, our future home. Through sex, Galaxy domination will be ours, WAHAHAHAHHA,WHAHAHAHAHAH, WAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHHHHHHHHH*Malfunction*HHHHHHHHHHHHAAA*MalfuncRebootHTML>??://!WS.

You are not crazy. You are human. Honestly, your life isn't going to suffer from having a girlfriend and having sex. Just have safe sex. Condoms, birth control.
Then again, if you don't feel ready, you're not ready. Just don't think that your life is going to go straight to hell and spiral out of control if you have a relationship. More than likely, your life will be enriched. You have to remember, there are plenty of couples who are happy, satisfied and feel that their partners make them stronger people. I've got to tell you, most of my friends are highly successful people who have master's degrees, high paying careers, but also have marriage and children.
It's all about balance. You shouldn't be afraid of experiencing different things and branching out while you're young. It's a long life.
One more thing, at the end of your life, what do you want to look back on. Money? Career? Or do you want to look back at a life filled with people and love. You're only 18 and have a lot of growing up to do, but I can tell you this. Sooner or later you'll realize that money and career are empty, material values. It's the people in your life that matter.-

Well, he's 18, I'm sure he'll realize it one day but we'll be all dead by that time.
Today, and for quite a few years to come, what he thinks and will be thinking is about sex mainly...

First of all your ovethinking this whole sex thing...Onviously you have a lot of plans, but sex and life plans dont necesarily have to be mutually exclusive. Go to college and do your thing, and eventually youll meet a cool girl who you feel comfortable with and youll have sex. There doesnt have to be a timeline for sex and remember be safe! I lost my virginity at 19, and it hapenned and from then on I began a fun sexlife and in no way did it interfere with studies, I got good grades throughout my college experience.

On Sex:
Kid, let me tell ya...sex is very much like jumping off a pier. The run towards the edge is usually a lot more exciting than the jump itself. Then the jump is severely more thrilling than the submersion into water. If you wanted to have sex today you could. But you have too many ideas about what sex should be fogging up your head. -
Look, the thing is this, it is already difficult as a young adult to deal with his own sexuality. I've been there, it can be hell if you don't have the right avenue to lose out your frustrations, sometimes it is very unbalancing, unbecoming especially when it comes to dealing with girls normally.
I've went down that road taking the easy way out (don't ask), and though it gave me a sense of control over myself and when it comes to dealing with girls, the experience also tends to make one very detached from them from time to time, because I've learnt in a weird way not everything about girls is sex.
But that is from me, I can't say the same about you. The bottomline is, that there are ways to deal with your own sexual urges, make sure that you don't hurt yourself first or anybody else, because your conscience may or may not live with the guilt.-
Remember, when you ever choose to be sexually involved with any girl or woman, you need to bear in mind that often, her feelings would involve you in her very personal life.
And feelings to a woman is very important.
Oh, and you know something ? The way you've described about how you feel ? Chances that the girls would feel the same way as you do, is quite most likely. And they would feel all embarrassed when they like a guy and have sexual urges towards him.

Heres an old saying. The only ones who say sex isnt a big deal are the ones not having it (or having good sex).

You need to work all this out for yourself. You're a unique individual and no one else's suggestions will be of much use to you. It might help to find a therapist you trust with whom you can discuss your particular feelings and concerns. A good therapist will encourage you to be yourself, not fifty other people. I had plenty of sexual reservations when I was younger, for slightly different reasons. It's a great and joyous adventure discovering your own path in life.

Make room in your life for both logic and passion. If you only have logic, then life is flavourless and colourless. If you only have the latter, you achieve nothing. Balance in all things.

Actually, you have the most to lose at the extreme. Life is about more than school and career. Are you afraid? It sounds like a big part of your dilemma is being afraid of getting involved with someone period.
I have been trying to become braver in my life. No risk, no reward. I think the same lesson applies to you as well.
