Try and think about other things. It can sort of burden your mind as sometimes thinking about it a lot makes you think about it even more.
You are, just remember, human! You will desire sex and as you get older you may even desire it more than you do now. There isn't anything wrong with that.
Personally I don't think it is possible or realistic to try and never think about it. You are human, you're hardwired to want sex.

Just accepting the fact that you will have those urges and that it will be hard to resist at times is an important step to take. The next step would be to strengthen yourself. Remind yourself why you made this commitment to yourself in the first place. Read up on some of your favorite, motivational scriptures. A book I am currently reading titled, "The Missing Link," by Drs. Arno, is a very helpful book in reminding me about Christ's plan for me and how it also applies to relationships.

Lastly, don't forget to pray and ask for strength. Just remember that God will answer your prayer and offer you opportunities to develop strength.

 Religion vs Nature!
This will be a true test of your faith to fight the years of evolution that make you crave sex! This craving isn't the Devils work it's hormones and all part of becoming a woman, don't feel dirty or wrong for having these feelings.
But as the others have said use your faith to help you through this difficult time, and it's not that easy for a 13 year old guy to get laid anyway!

 I applaud your desire to uphold your faith. I know that it can be hard when sex seems to be all around you. Please try to network in your church, you will find a lot of support from your church faimly. and please know that pretty much all of the other young people and old people are going through and having the same tests and trials, this is normal. however as we know fornication is a sin.try to network with like minded people. When I was in school I met a friend who was also a christian and we bonded and became best friends. It made things a little easier. I totally agree with "Ohh no" Stay strong and don't let anyone or anything steer you from your path.

 Hi,
I just noticed your age. I think you can postpone sex a little bit. But no need to feel guilty about any sexual thoughts or relationships. Jesus came to us not to make us guilty but to make us free.
I don't think he will be unhappy with you if you have sexual relationships. You know, he is not simply that judgemntal. He understands you and accepts you as you are.

Hi there,
Its lovely that you love and trust Jesus. But I was wondering why that should be a hindrance to having sexual relationships. What do you mean by impure relationships?
Jesus loves us as we are. For him, we are all pure whatever we may think of ourselves. His love is unconditional and my feeling is that he must have been a lovely man with lots of girlfriends like you!
Love and Hugs,

You're a little young to be having sexual like relationships. Even if you didn't have faith you should wait a little longer before you are more mature and can take the proper precautions.

Doing the wrong thing is so easy. Keep your faith in christ an ask god to give you the will power to stay strong . You should always remember satan put things in your path so shake you from your past. Stay strong

Good luck.

exercise and cold showers are traditional remedys,
having sex at to young an age just fills your head up with nonsense when you should be concentrating on school and stuff.
