Sex and dating sound so exciting to me, that I can hardly focus on getting my career in order.
I'm studying computer networking. We learn about IP addresses and subnet masks. It's about the best fit for me occupationally (you've got to pick something). Still, computer networking seems so dull compared to courting a hot woman.
How do you guys keep your focus on career, when sex is so much funner?
Now I'll admit, it's been I think, 12 years now since I was with a woman. So maybe my preoccupation with women is a hormonal thing.

PG-13 if you please. Let's leave our precious bodily fluids out of these conversations! Though you kinda make me want to come up with snark about calling a plumber...
(Anyone get the reference? Boyfriend made me watch that movie.)
I sometimes get...distracted...by thoughts and urges, when I am doing something that is boring me. I used to get kind of mentally derailed while attempting to do my accounting homework! Sometimes your mind, I think, simply isn't getting enough stimulation so it comes up with ways to entertain itself. If you can, try listening to music while you work. That seems to help me.
Also, why can you not focus on both dating (even if only somewhat casually) and your occupational goals at the same time? I find that even very busy people find time to date if they really want to. You don't have to get super serious and make a lifetime commitment if you don't feel ready for that. You could still go out and try to find some fun.
Unless I am remembering wrong, you and I have had PM discussions about certain...opportunities...in your region and how to access them. No? Maybe go check that out if you get a free Saturday night or something?
I had a couple of girlfriends in the past. Though both were set up by my sisters', so maybe I didn't have to work for it as much As for porn, I quit watching hardcore stuff about 6 months ago. I seem to have my dignity better now.
My age? In my 40's.

Hormonal levels fluctuate. You may be more randy for a physical reason, or perhaps all the stress of school is making you want to blow off steam.
I can't answer the question as to how to distract yourself. I hope someone will step in.
I do enjoy practicing my electric guitar, and vaping psychoactive concentrates.

You just have to be an adult and recognize that your career is essential while having relationships is nice, but optional. Spend most of your work time earning money, I'm sure you have flexible time off evenings and weekends for womanizing.
It sounds to me like you made a bad career choice if you don't like that techie stuff. I spent a lot of my career doing similar stuff and I enjoyed it, the challenge of making complicated stuff work.
Um, dude, your body reabsorbs that.

Me too, and I know that stuff. OP should firewall between his career and sexual interests.

Not when the answer is obvious.

That worked for me. I can admire an attractive colleague while typing code into my workstation at the same time. Actually the techie stuff was almost mindless for me. I listened to music all day when I was at my workstation, typing code or tech documents.

A step in the right direction.

Woops.
Anyway, since you asked specifically about work, I would suggest triggering your brain to think about another topic whenever you find your mind starts to wander to sexual fantasies.
You also should probably get up and take a walk. Sitting for too long isn't good.
It's behavior modification, and until you get better at being around women so you can be in a relationship, you won't see any difference.
Nothing gets a chick hotter than when we bust out IP subnetting talk. I'm a techie type and I glazed over seeing that comment and I understanding IP networking.
