Control from urges

To effectively control sexual urges, try these techniques: 1. Distraction and redirection - Engage in hobbies or activities you enjoy - Exercise regularly to release tension - Socialize with friends and loved ones - Keep your mind occupied with other thoughts 2. Mindfulness and present-moment awareness - Focus on your senses - sights, sounds, smells, textures - Ground yourself in the current moment rather than fantasizing - Practice meditation or deep breathing exercises - Acknowledge the urge without judgment, then let it pass 3. Gradual exposure and desensitization - Slowly expose yourself to triggers while practicing control - Start with brief, manageable "doses"
