How can I dispel or stop disturbing intrusive thoughts?
For some time now, I've had issues with intrusive thoughts. The thoughts come in a multitude of varieties, and they're beginning to worry me with how focussed they're becoming on explicit subjects. As I'm still in my teens, I suspect my hormones may be partially to blame, but that doesn't mean I just want to grin and bear these disgusting thoughts. Hearing things like this disturbs me, and the fact that my own mind is forcing them on me is slightly horrifying. Is there anything I could do to stop them?

I get those badly. Nothing really gets it to stop, I just got to go immediately think of something else. You just have to find a better attitude about it. People get these unwanted thoughts and it's not because you're messed up in the head or anything because it's probably your strong reaction to these thoughts that make you focus on them in the first place. It's pretty common to get strange thoughts, but most people can just dismiss them quickly with no problem. Mine are absolute hell, just remember you're not alone with this. It's like when you have a disturbing or messed up dream, it's your subconscious being a pain in the ***.
