    Well, anon has re-discovered the Buddha’s advice on dealing with lust. I don’t have the text handy, but basically, somebody asks the Buddha about dealing with lust, and the Buddha advises that you strip away your preconceived notions about sex and look at it neutrally. Consider that this same body undertakes all the boring and tedious things that bodies do, that the body will age and decay, that the grave beckons. The way he puts it is better than I do, ofc, but that’s the gist, and Anon’s converged on it. Not saying that it’s good or bad, but hopefully it helps Anon feel better and be a better person.
