I used to get past it by just concentrating on my schoolwork and nothing else. It bores the desire out of you, haha!
To be honest though, it's REALLY difficult. Especially at that age.
Praying for strength to overcome that urge usually helps the best... God's always there to help, so why not let him chip in with some guidance?
Do not hang on to guilt though, that's the worst thing you can do.
Masturbation is not an unpardonable sin (that's not an excuse to do it by the way), in fact if you've never thought dirty thoughts, you're probably Jesus.
Us men tend to only think with our stomachs, and the thing just below it. It's a natural tendency.
However:
Christ paid the price for all your sins, there's nothing to be ashamed of any more!
Instead of covering yourself in guilt and anxiety, tackle the problem by finding a solution (with God's help), and move forward.
God bless :)

Well first of all let me answer the last question no it wont last forever, i went through something similar after about two months of being born again i felt an emptiness like i was doing something wrong or missing something, but God told us that he would never leave us and He doesn't lie ever. even if we feel like we dont feel him He is always there holding us cause your His child now. my dad helped me realize that the feeling was the evil one trying to trick me into making me think i was empty. Were not always going to feel that wonderful feeling we have to work for it. the way you battle temptations and confusion and any other obstacle the bad guy throws at you is with the sword which is God's word in the bible, start with the new testament. God is with you sister i know this because God promises He will never leave us.

I'm skeptical that this is a serious question.
That said, I will treat it like it is and point out the obvious answer. You are not lusting. Lusting would infer some sort of mad pursuit or overwhelming desire, and you seem to fall into neither category. Instead, you are merely providing a physical, natural response to external stimuli exactly the way God intended for you to, especially at the age of 15.
If men went to hell for the occasional *****, well, then i'd say were all ****** (punny, right?)

The first thing to consider in how to overcome habitual sin is to note the change, or transformation, that takes place when a person is saved. The Bible describes the natural man as “dead in sin and trespasses” (Ephesians 2:1). As a result of Adam’s fall into sin, man is born spiritually dead. In this state of spiritual death, man is unable and unwilling to follow and obey God and habitual sin naturally follows. Natural man sees the things of God as foolishness (1 Corinthians 2:14) and is hostile toward God (Romans 8:7). When a person is saved, a transformation takes place. The Apostle Paul refers to this as the new creation (2 Corinthians 5:17). From the moment we place our faith in Christ we are in the process of sanctification.
The process of sanctification is that by which those who are in Christ are conformed by the Holy Spirit into the image of Christ (Romans 8:29). Sanctification in this life will never be fully complete, which means that believers will always struggle with remaining sin. Paul describes this battle with sin in Romans 7:15-25. In that passage he notes that even though he desires to do what is good in the eyes of God, he often does what is evil instead. He does the evil he doesn’t want to do and fails to do the good that he wants to do. In this, he is describing every Christian’s struggle with sin.
James says we all sin in different ways (James 3:2), and that means each of us has what may be called “besetting” sins. Some sins are easier to overcome than others. Some struggle with anger, others with gossip, and others with lying. The point is that each of us has a sin (or some sins) with which we struggle. These besetting sins are habits that we developed during our lives as unbelievers and require more grace and discipline to overcome.

Unfortunately, many of the drugs on the market today that are designed to treat various conditions, have side effects that include the degradation of male sexual performance. The most common of these are blood pressure medications, but there are many others.
The good news is that in many cases, there are often (but not always) alternatives to the meds with these side effects. Learn here https://tr.im/YfDls
If that’s the case, your doctor can prescribe you an alternative to help alleviate the problem.

Dont worry.. there is NOTHING u can do in Christianity that can send you to this imaginary place called 'hell'... you can commit any sort of crime and u shall be fine, you ask why or how? cause of John 3:16 (Jesus already died for your sins son, so to sum up: u need not worry ;), play away)
there is supposedly one thing that can send you to hell... that is if you deny the existence of the christ and the holy spirit..

An unrestrained freedom of expression, has blossomed in the 21st century.
For the fallen flesh.
Talk to your parents.
Redeem, God would not tempt you with something you could not over come. If it's Satan that is tempting you.
Get rid of the garbage.
