Q : My age is 24. My mind is always thinking about sex and other nonsense things. How can I divert my mind towards the positive things? I always try but I am unable to control such kind of bad thinking. Please help me.

A : Number one, thinking about sex is bad but sex is not bad, but if you are, day and night, just exhausting your energy by thinking or by visualizing or by dreaming about it, then definitely you are just wasting your energy. When you are hungry that is the time, you need food. When you are thirsty that is the time you need water. You don’t keep on drinking water whole day and if you do, you will end up in a hospital. Similarly, you don’t eat food all the times and even if you do, you will be bringing lot of trouble on yourself. You need to understand as food and thirst are part of human system. Similarly, the urge of sex too is very natural and it is going to be in your body system as long as you don’t learn the ways to surpass these urges.

So most important thing is, please don’t take it as problem and accept it as nature has given. When you were 6 year old, 5 year old, at that time, these kinds of thoughts were not running in your head. It’s only when, the teenage years start i.e. the time when the body goes through the lot of chemical changes and these changes give rise to the sexual feelings. There is one way to ease out this problem i.e. that a certain type of chemicals are injected in your body and you will never feel any excitement even if you see naked women.

The urge, you are talking about is nothing more than chemical process happening in your brain. The biggest organ in sex is not your genitals but it is your brain. So if someone learns how to manage one’s brain you can definitely manage your body also; then you definitely manage your urges also.
