Is there some way to resist and/or minimize feelings of attraction to one's own sex?
Is it healthy to abstain from masturbation altogether and rely strictly on nocturnal emissions to maintain prostate health?
Is there some way to discipline thoughts and avoid or at least minimize sexual fantasies?
Is there any health reason not to be celibate?
Religious authorities claim that they have some success with counseling on these issues but I do not want to deal with them. I want answers from a strictly secular perspective.
You asked for clarity about "problem." I suppose the problem is feeling inferior, unworthy, unclean, shameful, guilty, and having self-hatred, and refusing self-acceptance. I would prefer to be something closer to "normal."

My suggestion.
Detailed Answer:
Hi,
It is not so problematic to practice masturbation, but the frequency has to be reduced at your age to maintain prostate health.
I would like to advise you to start on medication like risperidone to minimize your sexual fantasies.
