pray and talk to God, read the bible, the Holy Spirit of God can heal the brain then teach you how to self control and regulate the temptations. He is a power that can help. You might even have to do things like literally turning away from what you saw and keep your aways and brain far away from the thought of the attractive thing you saw. The devil will hijack the brain to keep it in a pattern of addiction if we allow him. He is that voice saying "do it, do it, do it, look at her, how about her b****y her legs, dont you wanna see, you just wanna see the shape that's all u dont mean any harm". Its not you.

[@horsepowermultimedia]

Go to Europe and take advantage of free healthcare.

[@mackpunch368]

You would probably die if you removed the hypothalamus, just do maturation alone to satisfy the urge as the longer you deny the urge, the more tense you will feel for bottling and not attending to your biological urge to procreate and it can cause irritableness or stress if you don’t satisfy the urge (ethically, don’t go forcing yourself on people).
