Hi, guys, this is my first post. I am from Asia, so my English might not be authentic.
I do want to talk about this issue, because I just started to meditate and do mindfulness work for about one and half month.
As many might know, fears and desires are the two main things that pull you out of your present moment. It is so tempting that I found so often I was just obsessed in sexual thoughts without knowing in the meditating process.
And it has a "tempting pulling" that needed to be aware of ( even when you are not obsessed in it ), and needed to be let go.
However, it's been pretty hard to do so, because unlike fear,there seems to be something that part of my system resonates with (wanting).
To me, it becomes one of the most often seen obstacles in mindfulness work too, (together with food desires and loneliness)
I am practicing to "flatten" them like what Leo says in the "thoughts" video, and by doing so and just standing it for a while , it reduces it power and it go back to sleep, awaiting to emerge next time.
I don't know about you guys, but it seems to be a bigger issue to me,
because those images come so often
maybe the power of sexual desires work differently to different people.
And I guess like all kinds of desires, it's very future-oriented, and for that nature, It's kinda impossible to want to have sex desire ( wanting it so often) and trying to be mindful at the same time.
