10 years later I wonder how you feel now as a 26 year old? I'm currently 16 and while my feelings are more minor, I'm curious as to how you're coping now? That is if you ever see this.

I absolutely agree with Alison, you are a very normal 16 year old. Being horny does not make you a bad person, or not "normal". As a matter of fact, I'd be more concerned if you didn't have any of these feelings. There is a surge of hormones that are going on in your body right now that make you feel these intense feelings of being sexually aroused. It's all part of growing up-- we've all been there with you even if it's an unspoken topic.
The problem that arises at this age is not that you're horny, but how you deal with it. Many times teens are aware of the consequences of sex at this age (pregnancy, STD's, loss of family values, emotional consequences) but they have the "it won't happen to me" mentality. It's important to realize that sex comes with responsibility, it's not just the act of sex and that although babies are cute-- the grass isn't always greener on the other side.

Because you are NORMAL!
I have read your other questions, and I am wondering if you are confusing your body's natural surge in hormones as a teenager as indicating that you should be trying to conceive?
Young women and young men in their teen years have, what seems like, uncontrollable hormones that lead to all kinds of intense feelings about sex, love, friendships, drugs, school, parents/caregivers... you name it.
What you choose to do about these physical and emotional feelings is what is most important. There are healthy ways to channel these intense sexual urges that you, and many of your peers, are having.
Are you interested in learning more, or did you just want to make sure you are normal and healthy?
