Please forgive me if I am wrong.
I think everyone has “lust” . Even great sages and Devta could not contain lustful feelings.
We all know about Devaraj Indra getting carried away by lust for Devi Ahilya.
So, the problem is not with lust, the problem starts when it starts controlling us.
In order to control lust, one must practice self control.
It's all about channelling our energies for a greater cause, for a good purpose.
Tips to control lust-
Avoid temptations, don't watch explicit content. Don't even read or talk anything which can trigger lustful feelings.Keep yourself busy. Cultivate some hobby, like reading, exercise and gardening. Keep doing that until you get your mind diverted.Practice meditation and breathing techniques. They help a lot in achieving a peaceful and controlled mind.Read some holy books or chant some mantras. It helps to develop spiritual energy and remove negativity.
Lust can only be controlled, not completely eradicated. So live a disciplined life and practice self control.
I have one story that is related with it.
Once I read a story about Akbar and Birbal .
Once Akbar goes to Birbal’s home and finds Birbal was not there and was asked to wait a bit for his return by his wife .
Akbar finds Birbal’s wife very attractive and she somehow figured it out. Being a wife of a very smart man , she presents two glasses of water before Akbar . The one is made of gold and the other one of copper .
Akbar : What is this? Why two glasses? They both contain water!!!
Birbal’s wife : Which one would you like to have my king?
Akbar : What ?! Does it matters ? The thing inside them is same!
Birbal’s wife : Exactly my king! Some women look attractive and some do not . But it doesn't matters as all of them have one brain , one heart and all of the things the another one has.
Akbar gets ashamed of his thinking and gets out of Birbal’s home .
