In the other thread where I asked, you described lust in this way (I’m moving the conversation over here to keep it on one thread):
So the lust is the craving. Kind of like craving sweets or dessert foods. Objects.
People are not objects. Lust makes people into objects. Lust makes you make yourself into an object (in my case, when I used to “act out”, I would use my body as an object for my lust).
For me I found the problem was more fundamental, more psychological. The dopamine is a physical thing - it’s a hormone - but the dopamine is in response to the lust. I had to dig deep to displace the lust, to get it out of the driver’s seat. I had to acknowledge that I had no power over lust - every time I let it into my life, it takes control and the results are negative - and I had to make a list of the problems caused for me and others by my lust, and then work on making amends for those. I had to more fundamentally change my way of living, to start from the heart, instead of from the body. (Trying to control my physical body was not working, because the physical body was not the cause.)
