I know it's 37 min. but he really covers it from all aspects. Specifically his "seeing, seeing" advice. It worked today at work. I didn't really get lost at all in lust so even though the store is full of attractive women the sexual tension/frustration didn't build. "Seeing, seeing." I tried it out on some pornography and I'll be more explicit than Yuttadhammo. I typically get to "seeing, seeing, pleasure, pleasure, erection, erection".... then I sort of see it for what it is. I start questioning why porn is so pleasurable? Yuttadhammo talks about that in the video. I was at the beach the other day too which can be a breeding ground for lust but I just saw the bodies for what they were bodies. Meat vessels. There was a shape of one nubile redhead that I became attached too but "seeing, seeing" and walking ahead it passed rather quickly.
I don't know if it was the same video or a different video but Yuttadhammo talked about the fallacy of people thinking pleasure is inherently good. Many times pleasure is not actually beneficial. |
