I had the same issues as a youth.
As a rule for me I never went out with someone that I was just physically attracted to, after the morning and they don't have their "face" on well... it's not all that interesting to me.
As for keeping it all in check, I made a conscious effort in my early 20's to be celibate. I was trying for 5 years of celibacy and I only got to 3.5 due to meeting and moving in with a young lady that I thought we would work well together and we did for a good 3 years.
Back to the celibacy, it helped me understand and see women without sex in the equation. I wanted to be with and drawn to women that interested me beyond sexual pleasure and attraction. It was also the heavy party drinking years for me so there was also a bit of "sexual safety" there too. I don't ever have to wonder if I got someone pregnant or if I have to worry about HIV.
