Reach out until you find someone who digs you. Enjoy being 17, and try not to be so critical of yourself. You may get rejected a few times and that sucks, but eventual you will find some who like you and that you like and you both figured it out at the same time.

You can hold yourself to rigourous standards, deny yourself masturbation, sex, or even relationships, but what good does that do?

I used to be somewhat of a perfectionist, and I was only happy with myself if did the best and it was flawless. I held myself to unrealistic standards for not much good, and a lot of angry at myself for doing what most people do. I'm not sensing you are a perfectionist but I am picking up that you are angry at yourself for doing what comes natural to a 17 year old male. Try to cut yourself some slack and enjoy being 17.
Speaking of being rejected, I remember when I was in fourth grade, I told a few of my classmates that i had a crush on her and then they related it to her. After that, she began to ignore me and for a long time we did not speak to each other until like maybe the end of the year. She probably thought that since I'm not going to be in the same class as him next year, I might as well talk to him the way that i did when i first met him.
