How do you do it? What I mean is, when does it stop being so difficult to remove lustful thoughts? Or at the least control them?

Maybe I am asking a stupid question, but I am having a hard time with this issue. I want to release the attachment, which is a simple enough concept. It is the practical application where I struggle. It is the fighting my own bodies urges, thoughts, and temptations (Mara).

It isn't that I personally have a desire for the fleshly pleasures - not in my mind that is, as much as my body is having the cravings. Now, mind you, I am fighting it. I think I'm about to go loonie toons over it, but I am determined to do this.

I don't want to speak off color or making this question any more blue than it must - but is there any other way around this besides denial of the urges?


Thanks to all that answer
