I pray God will help you overcome the urges, that lead you to do this.

It is good that you don't want it anymore, I would thank God for the fact that he has placed upon your heart the desire to stop seeking this, and ask for his help to overcome your urges.

When you get an urge, or desire to do something, that you know in your heart is not right, try turning to prayer before acting upon the urge, or desire. It also helps sometimes to rebuke our own thoughts, In the name of Jesus.

Also think about how much joy the Lord takes in the fact that you have overcome this urge, and called out to him, istead of acting on the desire. He takes much joy each, and every time you overcome this desire.

Know that He has placed your steps onto the path of recovery and healing of your soul. know that he has the power to help you overcome this.

Don't you hate it when you do something you really, really don't want to do?

St Paul had this problem, doing what he knew was wrong, and not doing what he knew was right. Romans 7:14-25 says:

For we know that the law is spiritual; but I am made out of flesh, sold into sin's power. For I do not understand what I am doing, because I do not practice what I want to do, but I do what I hate. And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree with the law that it is good. So now I am no longer the one doing it, but it is sin living in me. For I know that nothing good lives in me, that is, in my flesh. For the desire to do what is good is with me, but there is no ability to do it. For I do not do the good that I want to do, but I practice the evil that I do not want to do. Now if I do what I do not want, I am no longer the one doing it, but it is the sin that lives in me. 21 So I discover this principle: when I want to do good, evil is with me. 22 For in my inner self I joyfully agree with God's law. But I see a different law in the parts of my body, waging war against the law of my mind and taking me prisoner to the law of sin in the parts of my body. What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body of death? I thank God through Jesus Christ our Lord! So then, with my mind I myself am a slave to the law of God, but with my flesh, to the law of sin.

But wait! There's more. Romans 8:1-2 says "Therefore, no condemnation now exists for those in Christ Jesus, because the Spirit's law of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. "

So, the thing to do when you can't keep yourself from some sin is--remember that all humans struggle with sin but Christ has set us free from the law of sin and death. Even this sin that you persist in doing is covered, so stop beating yourself up about it. And when you stop beating yourself up about it, it will lose it's power over you.

Eventually, when you get married, you will have a healthier outlet for what you crave, and it won't be a problem anymore.

First of all I want to tell you that you are not weird.  Whole bunches of people go through the same thing.  Thank you for being honest about it though.  Lambslove said pretty much everything I was going to say.

God will complete the good work He started in you.  Don't worry about that.  I don't know what your quiet times are like, but I recommend that you spend time reading the bible and praying on a consistent basis.  My reason for telling you this is not to make you quit.  Don't get that mindset, but for you to develop a relationship with God so you can get to know Him and His word.  I will be praying for you that God strengthen your spirit.  And remember, don't beat yourself up over it.
