What's the best way to deal with sexual desire? Should you try to repress it? Find an outlet for it? Simply understand it? Or take some other path to dealing with it? Why?
I think the best way to deal with sexual desire is to use discretion, don't repress but keep it in check. Find an outlet for it that fits best to you... or more than likely, fits best to your faith and comfort level. I have heard that very religiously conservative people can rely on prayer to overcome thier urges. In that case... repression WOULD be at that particular persons comfort level... but, it would be what they wish to do hopefully and not what they feel they should do because of what they have been told. Which takes me to understanding... everyone should strive to be introspective when dealing with thier feelings and desires. There is nothing worse for me in the world than being confused by myself. If I know why I feel certian ways I can work through it all faster, easier, and make sound decisions.
