Saving my myself from marriage

Lulama

I am a 17 year old who is saving myself for marriage. This is for religious purpose and I’m proud of the decision I’ve made to pursue this journey. I’ve started this journey 3 years ago. However this year I’ve really struggled with my sexual desires. I get horny, have wet dreams and then I feel I want to be in a relationship so I can then get married after and experience intercourse. I also feel guilty all the time. When saving yourself for marriage you need to abstain from all sexual activities which I’ve successfully accomplished however how do I make these feelings and desires go away. My friends always talk about self pleasure and how they touch themselves but I cannot. Any advice, whether it’s from a Christian or non- Christian?
