Hi user1457,
Lust is an emotion that deals with sexual desire. It is a natural emotion for teenagers due to the hormonal changes when they entered puberty (a time of a life when a child goes through physical and hormonal changes that mark their transition into adulthood). Though lust is a natural emotion, it can be damaging to a teenager’s life and relationships if it is not dealt with in a healthy way.
The following are some simple self-help methods which you may try.
-
Acknowledge that teenagers struggle with lust is not uncommon, so you are not alone. Don’t blame yourself for that.
-
DO NOT (in case if you have) allow yourself to engage with ■■■■■■■■■■■ as you may get addicted to it. Watching ■■■■■■■■■■■ may develop lustful imaginations in your mind which can have a negative impact on your relationships.
-
Pick up a sport or start an exercise regime. Each time when you experience a lustful sensation, distract yourself to a cardio exercise for at least 30-45mins. Exercise can release good chemicals like endorphins.
-
Share with an adult whom you can trust.
If you tried the above and still struggle with lust that affect your daily life, seek support from a professional.
Hope the above sharing helps. Take care.
