The core of my challenge is that I've had a naturally strong sex drive since puberty, and recently, I've found it to be quite distracting and somewhat disruptive to my daily life and focus.

Adding to this, after being deceived by a female classmate last year, I became completely disillusioned with romantic relationships and have no desire to pursue them. This disinterest, combined with the other challenge, is likely why I sought advice here.

I am highly focused on my academic and professional future, and I am consistently working on self-improvement. It's truly only in the romantic sphere that I have no interest whatsoever.
All men have strong sex drives. You aren't unique in this respect.

This is a pivotal time in your life where you either learn to control your urges or let them control you. It is not an exaggeration to say how you choose to react to this may come to define the course of your life.

You are going to be deceived by people in your life. Some of those people may be women you are romantically interested in.

Rejection hurts but it doesn't have to lead to you being "completely disillusioned" in all relationships.

My advice is to find someone you can vent to about this, learn from the experience and move on.

None of this necessarily leads to paying for sex. But if you indulge this course of action it will eventually seem that way.
