Heightned sexual thoughts

[lb07]

I am 16 years old, assigned female at birth. I've been having a lot of sexual thoughts lately, more than i have before. I've been wishing I could act on these impulses so many times, ive been masturbating a lot and watching sexual videos a lot. i know this is normal but its happening a lot more lately, im not sure why, and i dont know if its just the teenaged hormones acting up or not.

You're right, this is pretty normal, and it isn't something you need to worry about. And yes, hormones are one thing that could be influencing your interest in sex. Let us know if you have any other questions.
