The addiction of sex lust

Lust has many ways of expression through different senses. Lust is usually referred as the "greatest enemy."

For a "normal" individual, lust is not a "vice." It is a "natural" way to demonstrate "love." That "natural love" sooner or later will be mixed with desire, jealousy and possessiveness; because there is a physical "high" called pleasure that is associated with "sex lust."

That physical pleasure when mixed with possessiveness, physical attraction and the need to feel complete with another creates an addiction that it is hard to overcome.

That addiction, that necessity is like a powerful drug which blocks any subtlety. It blocks our path to complete freedom. Neediness in another is created which needs to be fulfilled and thus, our senses become more attached to a physical being, their emotions and desires. Lust then becomes attachment and that attachment could become a source of ego, if you are the dominant part of the "relationship."

Yes..it is a "master and servant" game. Always someone is the master and the other a servant, even though these roles could change; it is the same game. There is no equality in the long run. That holds true for even the most "loving" relationship at this time.

Our society has made those ingredients to appear as "highly desirable." They call it "romantic love," love or just plain lust.

Since matter is dualistic, the price for pleasure is high.

Also, there is the issue with "newness." The "object of desire" loses its value once it is possessed. Once sex lust becomes a routine, there is a need for change to "enhance the experience." This is how adultery usually happens. The mind drifts away from the "relationship" searching for a new "high." Then, the body follows and then the action happens....or it could be repressed which causes resentment and suffering….hate in its deeper moments.

Most humans have tried to "control" or “regulate” sex lust by different means because of their perceived negative effects to society but the "drug" is quite strong. So, most if not all, have failed in one way or another.

Separation of genders was the answer. Extreme forms of repression or suppression of the intrinsic human need to feel "complete" through a relationship with another... and even extreme things as blinding someone or damaging genital organs, to the “mild” use of contraceptives are in fashion when finally society realized that will power was no longer “in vogue” in a “yo-yo” society like ours.

Sex lust is conquered once sexual energy is transferred into feelings. Once the energy accumulated in the lower chakras (which stays there and need to be released) is moved through the use of feelings from the heart. Those feelings are related with our vision with a person.

That vision needs to be paired with pure feelings and those feelings need to be sent to that person. It is all about transferring energy. This is the practical use of "good feelings and pure wishes."

If this step hasn’t been mastered, the thought of "sex-lust" will linger in the intellect until a profound realization of the implications of this act is realized.

Once we become honest with ourselves and see that we cannot be engaged into sex lust anymore because there is "suffering disguised" (jealousy, possessiveness, neediness) and the perception that our life energy is depleted, then at that point; sex lust is over in the mind. Our will power takes over. Once our feelings are developed and transmute sexual energy, then sex lust is over from our being. The “drug” effect is over. We are free.
