My suppressed and guilty proclivities at a similar age
did (and still do) veer that direction, and I read it at the same age as you.
I confess that I too initially put it down, for different reasons (embarrassment and shame and probably (self-)disgust), but I straight away picked it up again (for similar reasons - "sixteen year old horny...teenager") and I'm glad I did.
With this confession, however, must also come a professed need to read it again, without the intervening maelstrom of hormones.
I hope you've since apologised to your parents (imagine a grin-and-a-wink emoticon right here).
Cheers,
