It's really dumb. The more you abstain the hornier you get and the more you think about sex. The more you think about sex the more guilty you feel about having lustful thoughts.
I actually think whoever made this stuff up just wanted it to be as miserable as possible to not be married so the maximum number of people would be reproducing.
No logical person, however would think it's possible to only have sexual thoughts about one person your entire life.

Nevertheless I know that Western culture treats sexual desire as some uncontrollable compulsion. That belief is very insidious and has destroyed more social goods than expanded freedom. When those rivers are dammed we gain access to more power and prevent dangerous flooding.
If you abstain from both masturbation and sex, you will get more and more horny, unless you have nocturnal emissions. That's bullshit.
I'm not saying people don't have control over their actions, I'm saying Christian teachings about sex are bullshit and total abstinence (including masturbation, which AFAIK is what most denominations teach, and what the Bible very strongly implies)only results in greater and greater unecessary misery.
Plus you have the hypocritcal stigmatization of unmarried mothers, especially teen moms. Most of them did the same thing, it just didn't result in pregnancy. Religion puts them in the right frame of mind to pretend their feces don't emit an unpleasant odor.
