ok here's part 2 of how to win over lust
these are just personal observations of mine 1. watch what you talk about i've noticed if you talk about sexual things you may be tempted to do sexual things.. i don't really know how this works but it seems to ring true just keep sexual things out of your mouth.. sometimes i'll see a woman and i'll get the urge to say something to myself like: "wow she has a big butt" ... but lately i try to just not say it and it seems to help me to keep away from lust 2. this one is obvious but watch what you look at.. its obvious because what you see can stay with you and lodge itself in your subconscious but the non obvious part is like....... the visual may seem harmless for example.. a female acquaintance of mine named eleni sometimes sends me pictures and she is like extremely pretty.. so its like.. i'll have pictures of her and in the forefront of my brain i'm saying "oh thats eleni" ... but over time i've noticed my subconscious brain is like "if only i could get my hands on her" i was wondering why my brain kept going back to sex and i prayed and i felt like that's what God showed me.. the pictures of eleni were like triggering me so i had to delete them so if you're trying to overcome lust you may have to get rid of the non-obvious sources of visual stimulation.. like pictures of your female friends, maybe even images of some anime characters .. sometimes things we keep that seem harmless are actually somewhat of a stumbling block 3. remember God's voice may grow dim if you are in sin remembering this may help you to want to stop any type of lust issue you may have.. for example, sometimes when i go to sleep i lay down hoping the Lord will speak to me in a dream so that i can use whatever He says as a guide in my life but if i have been up all night looking at butt-cheeks, i doubt if the Lord will give me an important dream you want to be in a position to be able to hear the voice of the Lord as much as possible but how are you going to hear it clearly and often if you are always indulging in something that grieves the Holy Spirit? that's it for part 2... hopefully this helps someone who is trying to be pure, not only in deed but also in thought
