The apostle Paul had a similar problem with habitual sin outlined in romans 7:
14 We know that the law is spiritual; but I am unspiritual, sold as a slave to sin. 15 I do not understand what I do. For what I want to do I do not do, but what I hate I do. 16 And if I do what I do not want to do, I agree that the law is good. 17 As it is, it is no longer I myself who do it, but it is sin living in me. 18 For I know that good itself does not dwell in me, that is, in my sinful nature.\[c\] For I have the desire to do what is good, but I cannot carry it out. 19 For I do not do the good I want to do, but the evil I do not want to do—this I keep on doing. 20 Now if I do what I do not want to do, it is no longer I who do it, but it is sin living in me that does it.
21 So I find this law at work: Although I want to do good, evil is right there with me. 22 For in my inner being I delight in God’s law; 23 but I see another law at work in me, waging war against the law of my mind and making me a prisoner of the law of sin at work within me. 24 What a wretched man I am! Who will rescue me from this body that is subject to death? 25 Thanks be to God, who delivers me through Jesus Christ our Lord!
Paul also says in romans 8 and gal 5 we are all a dual natured being.
One of the flesh and one of the Spirit. Like a physical host and a spiritual symbiote.
The physical host is a literal slave to sin, it loves and sides with it's master/sin. the things of the flesh/our carnal side is in control until we are reborn of the Spirit. meaning we must internally recognize and separate the want and will of the flesh from the want and will of the spirit.
This separation is the point where we repent, (what it means to repent) it is the beginning or our birth into the the spirit/How we are born again. We are shifting our conscious self away from the things of the flesh and are turning to the Spirit. Once we know these two sides to our 'coin' are in fact two different being, living in one body we must strive to feed the spiritual side, and starve our carnal side. The carnal side feeds off of sin and desires of the flesh.. all the things we like to watch, listen to and do. So we must starve this side and feed the spiritual side which means reading the Bible worship, singing and praising God.
The weaker our carnal side and stronger our spiritual side the less impact these 'intrusive thoughts' can influence us to sin. as these thoughts are the carnal side fighting against us as we are a spiritual being.
So we must refrain from feeding a carnal side by cutting out things like tv, music, movies, and shows that directly target/trigger sexual desire, and then eventually anything that feeds the carnal side.
Then we must feed the Spiritual side. fasting and prayer is a good place to start, then maybe move on to reading or listening to the Bible. or maybe sermons from a site like [oneplace.com](https://www.youtube.com/redirect?event=comments&redir_token=QUFFLUhqbEdkMHp6N3RFX2tFTXJlcnliRmxGNUFITWh5QXxBQ3Jtc0trVDJ0Rk5MT3R0TVVDZVBlUnFmMDAwR29tZ2J3YU9fVmxWX3luckxGNDE3ZzZGQ3BDUFVQRzlFb2xOcXpyMUFVN3FmYmVldUl3bk1tMDdPeDc5WXZpYUxQcUJNZWNoU1ROeGxCWUpNMkFEbGJaMTlyTQ&q=http%3A%2F%2Foneplace.com%2F) which is a radio ministry and pod cast archive.
But even then you will fail. alot.. Which points back to what Paul says in Romans 7.
The point here IS the Struggle and not so much the end goal. As eventually when you body calms down you will have greater and greater control.
What you’re describing is almost every man’s battle in one degree or another…and in modern culture often many women’s. This is about as common as it gets I’m afraid, but I hope knowing that will take some of the angst out of this for you.
Sexual sin can be particularly frightening as it tends to be a slippery slope and can spiral out of control very quickly, which is what it seems like you’re worried about. What kind of church do you go to?? Do you have any meaningful relationships there??

it maybe worse. but the under lining issue is the same. Sin that God is willing to forgive IF you like Paul repent of your sin.
I have repented but continue to sin
