6 practical ways to battle sexual temptations at the wrong time, wrong place

How to distract yourself & deal with the temptation

It is common to have sexual urges, unexpectedly at the wrong time and the wrong place and we are left frustrated, irritated, not knowing what to do. So, to battle those urges, here are 6 practical ways that can help you control your sexual temptations.

2/7

Consider the consequences

When you think of the object of desire, think about the consequences of your actions. If it is outside of your marriage and not your partner with whom you want to get involved, then question yourself honestly if this will hurt the relationship or not. What would the response be? How would it feel? If it ruins your marriage will you be okay with that?

3/7

Avoid pornography

It is not legal in India and it also leaves a fake impression. It is not at all real and the voices and the facial expressions etc are all staged. It is very unrealistic and it can have a very negative impact on you, leaving you with certain psychological problems. It can only lead to destruction unless it is just once in a blue moon that too with your partner. In a marriage, watching it on your own is considered cheating.

4/7

Question your intent

When your mind wanders sexually (outside marriage) it is not pure sex that you seek. What you truly are looking for is that missing piece of puzzle of your life. It could also be your subconscious way of dealing with something that has been bothering you for long. It could be a way of escapism as well. Figure out the root cause and work on that.

5/7

Try practicing sexual intimacy

You cannot go back to the way you felt earlier in your relationship when all was rosy and all you had was sex, it is important that you work on sexual intimacy again. You must regain that excitement level, improve your communication, and revive those passionate gestures. This will help improve your sexual intimacy.

6/7

Think of some chores

Sometimes the sexual urge is so intense that no matter what the place is and the situation is, you just want to do it. The only way to distract yourself is by involving yourself in different chores. Hunt for some work, something that needs to be done and taken care of. This will be the only way that can help you deal with the frustration in that given moment.

7/7

Mediation & other effective methods

To control your urge at the wrong time and the wrong place, there are some ways that have proven to be effective for some people. You can always meditate and practice mindfulness, concentrating on your breathing, go to the gym or any other form of exercise etc. This helps channel your energy for something else.
