Brief Answer:
Its normal to have sexual fantasies.

Detailed Answer:
Hello thanks for asking from HCM for your health related queries

I can understand your concern. You are a 23 years old female and have no relationship with any one. It is common to have sexual fantasies at your age and there is nothing wrong in that. Why are you feeling guilty due to these fantasies? You are an adult and it is expected to have hormonal surge which cause increase in sexual desire. Try not to feel guilty about this thing. This is pretty normal. If you want to distract yourself from these thoughts then try to divert your attention and distract yourself by reading a good book, or by exercise or by any constructive work. Don't ever try to watch any pornographic videos as this will increase the desire. Remain relaxed and try not to feel guilty.

Thanks, Hope this helps you. Please don't hesitate to ask again for more doubts.

Take care

Thank you sir for your reply,

I have tried several ways to divert myself from the thoughts, sometimes it's successful but otherwise it's not. I practise yoga, but it's also not sufficient enough. Is there any one stop solution to reduce this hormonal surge?

Hello again and thanks for asking a follow up question

As I have mentioned this is a normal things and you can't prevent these thoughts. Yoga, exercises or reading etc are common things that can help in diverting the mind. Engage yourself in some work this will also make you relaxed. Apart from this have healthy meals rich in proteins and complex carbs. This will make your mind relaxed. There is nothing like one stop solution for these thoughts.

Try to remain outdoors and spend time with friends and this will also help you.

Thanks, Hope this helps. Take care
