The reason I mentioned a girlfriend is because I believe focusing on one female (who, believe me I would definitely respect in all ways) my age could definitely be a good distraction from and potential solution to my problem.

Once again, you would do a young lady a grave disservice to expect her to be your “distraction” from sin and can you imagine the burden if someone were to expect you to be their solution to sinning? I would absolutely never want my daughter to date someone who wanted to put her in this position.

Get healthy first, then, when you have your wits about you and control of your lust, think about dating.
 
idleness is the devil’s Workshop,so The devil will plague your mind with evil thoughts especially if you are not doing something productive with your time; what you need to do is to channel your vitality into something good. the sexual drive is very strong, but since you are not old enough to marry you have to channel these energies into good things to build your character. Take up hobbies, put your energy into learning; take up a musical instrument, woodworking, biking, etc, Be productive with your time and energy if not you will end up dabbling and falling into the bad stuff.Never linger in bed; as soon as you wake up get out of bed.

Fill your mind with good books, be inspired by the lives of the saint, watch good videos. WORK on becoming a noble young man that a good girl will want to marry someday; don’t wear out your masculinity on pornography and impure acts.

I definitely see what you mean. I’m probably not ready for that. The bigger issue is attractions to weird things I wouldn’t want to or normally be attracted to. So I don’t know if it would effect a girl if that is the main problem. Still, I do tend to lust and shouldn’t start dating someone just to solve my problems
 
Alright makes sense. I’m hoping this isn’t a long term issue but I also understand that it wouldn’t be fair to date someone just to solve my personal problems
 
I recommenf you look up Matt Fradd. He has resources ob battling porn and impurity. God bless.
 
I recommend Sts Casimir and Gabriel Possenti, and Bl. Bartolomeo Marquez.
 
A couple of things that might help. First and foremost, consider doing a FULL rosary, 15 decades. That helps me battle impure thoughts quite a bit, and then there is this prayer…

Mary, Mother most pure, and Joseph, chaste guardian of the Virgin, to you I entrust the purity of my soul and body. I beg you to plead with God for me that I may never for the remainder of my life soil my soul by any sin of impurity. I earnestly wish to be pure in thought, word and deed in imitation of your own holy purity. Obtain for me a deep sense of modesty, which will be reflected in my external conduct. Protect my eyes, the windows of my soul, from anything that might dim the luster of a heart that must mirror only Christ-like purity. And when the “Bread of Angels” becomes my food in Holy Communion, seal my heart forever against the suggestions of sinful pleasures. Finally, may I be among the number of those of whom Jesus spoke, “Blessed are the pure of heart for they shall see God.” Amen.
 
Science has shown watching Porn causes a type of brain damage, so Pray to Our lady for help and she will help you.
