Teenagers? Seriously? That’s a broad spectrum, but even so none of them are going to die if they don’t get to fuck someone.
They really don't die if they don't have sex. They don't even get sick. It's a cultural thing.
I'm old enough to remember my teens (not in the UK) when girls still believed in "no sex before marriage". Boys of course wanted sex, but couldn't have it because their girlfriends didn't comply. Somehow, those boys learned to control themselves.
Granted, by the time they were 17 or 18, girls in long-term relationships did have sex with their boyfriends (because the boys harassed then into doing so), and sometimes they married those boys -- certainly so if they were careless and got pregnant!
The thing is though -- none of us, neither boys nor girls, thought of sex as something we HAD TO HAVE OTHERWISE OMG WE'LL GO CRAZY!
Boys, knowing this, had to control their urges. There are ways of doing this. In traditional India, teenage boys were taught meditation/yogic practices that reduced the sexual urge, and, just like girls, understood that it was better to be celibate before marriage. One Indian man told me that Hindu boys back in the day were taught to regard all women as their sisters or mothers; that apparently helps. I btw am not Indian or Hindu.
This of course is the traditional cultural teaching. I doubt that it still holds. Now Indian boys are as much porn obsessed as Westerners! :(
This is just to reinforce the argument that it's not a need, it's a desire, and a desire we can train into submission if we want to. Most people don't want to, though.
