The sex drive is the greatest temptation known to a 20-year-old man The apostle Paul spoke of the only cure, saying "it is better to marry than to burn" I Corinthians 7.9 God made you that way. If you didn't "burn" a little, you wouldn't learn your need So it is not only normal it's necessary. Adam had to endure it for only a few hours; we have to walk around on fire for ten years or so It's tough but worth the wait

God created Adam but delayed providing him with a wife because he wanted the first man to feel his need—not just a sexual need, but the need for a friend, someone to notice and appreciate his handiwork, as well as someone to remind him to keep up the good work. The need for a lifetime partner is part of what makes us human.
