How to deal with sexual desire

I'm at a loss as to whether it's okay to ask this kind of question
My worries only deepened, so I decided to ask a question.
I'm sorry for the really dirty sentences, but thank you for your support.

How do monks deal with sexual desire, which is an affliction?
I'm very worried.
After I became a college student, I started living alone and my libido got stronger
I masturbate once every 2 or 3 days,
I also watch adult videos (AV).

However, I don't think it's a good thing for personality development.
If I could, I wouldn't want to masturbate or do AV, or even look like it.
Nevertheless, my sexual desire naturally springs up and I end up doing it.

If it didn't work like this, I even just put up with masturbating and watching AV. However, I can't sleep, I can't concentrate on my studies, and I feel that putting up with it is different.

So now,
“How should we deal with sexual desire in order not to lose our way as a person?”
That's why my worries deepened.
So I asked a question with the intention of getting opinions from the monk.

In order not to go wrong as a person
・Should I stop masturbating
・Should I stop watching adult videos
After that, I would appreciate it if you were free to answer questions about sexual desire.
Thank you so much for your guidance.

I recommend this book

Modern Japanese monks aren't much different from ordinary people, so I recommend this book.

It describes the sexual problems of monks from ancient times.

I have sexual desire, of course. That's people.

If you're in agony and can't get your hands on anything, or if you seem to go wrong as a person (it's likely to run into a sexual crime), you should masturbate. To that end, I think it's okay to watch adult videos.

There is certainly a sense of shame attached to masturbating, but when it's a man's period, I'm dividing it as just an act of emptying. Having to release accumulated semen so that you can't put up with accumulated poop is for the sake of your body, and it's quite natural, isn't it? As long as putting up with it and getting frustrated or getting your underpants dirty with wet dreams, let's quickly get refreshed and work on your studies etc.

Sexual desire is not evil. If relationships such as romance are involved, the story becomes somewhat complicated, but if it is personal masturbation, please think that it has absolutely nothing to do with personality development.

Depending on consciousness, it becomes a sexual desire, and it becomes both excretion and wasetsu.

It should be ❝ holy desire ❞
Sexual desire is something you were born with, so it's not something you can deny.
Sexual desire is natural for men and women, and if not misused, it can also be a sacred desire, sexual desire, and sexual desire leading to the birth of life.
I've heard that eating meat increases sexual desire (although I'm not sure).
Even if you have sexual desire, don't make this a problem because it's not cool or bothersome. Don't blame yourself.
Rather, it's more annoying that you hate or worry about something you originally have.
I think every time I go to a convenience store, no matter where I go, there's always an adult magazine section for men.
It's a space for this and that, but it's also human who steadily downgrades sexual desire from divine desire to something obscene or dirty.
However, without such things, sexual crimes will also increase.
No one would be horny with naked women in an art museum.
This is because many people recognize it as such an aesthetic expression.
On the other hand, if you increase the level of obscenity from art, it becomes dangerous.
Whether a woman's nakedness or a man's nakedness can become art depending on consciousness, it can also be a crime of losing touch.
It depends on consciousness.

Fornication is one of the ten evils.

In Buddhism, it is not good to indulge in sexual desire.
As in Christianity, masturbation is not directly prohibited, but abstaining from sexual intercourse is a monk and a practitioner of Buddhism.
A Buddhist's “ascetic practice” is not limited in time.
In other words, the ascetic practice continues until you become a Buddha, so thoughts like “it's okay to have sexual desires” are absolutely unforgivable.
Sexual desire is an affliction.
If you don't lose it, you can't become a Buddha.

Since we are human, sexual desire revolves around.
There's nothing morally wrong with watching adult videos and masturbating.
Rather, it can be said that it is healthy.

However, Buddhism teaches that if you live a healthy life as a human being, you will fall into the six ways.
You must become a Buddha in order to avoid it.
Each denomination explains how to become a Buddha.

There is also a way to become a Buddha without controlling sexual desire.
Please enjoy listening to Buddhism.

About sexual desire

This is Kawaguchi Hidetoshi. This is my humble answer to the question.

I've been asked the following questions about masturbating before.

Question “patience”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1003003695.html

Since masturbating is also one physiologically important function, there is no need for extreme restraint, and it is important to perform it appropriately and appropriately.

“... Denying the physiological functions and reproductive functions that normal humans have can also deny the meaning of existence of the human species and the meaning of existence of oneself, so that's not good, but if you are too dependent on something and fall into an extreme, there is a high possibility that some kind of problem has occurred, so I think we must be careful about that. ・・”

Also, in Buddhism, there are places where people try to transform desires and worries into good power aimed at enlightenment.

Question “Encounters with Buddhism”
http://blog.livedoor.jp/hasunoha_kawaguchi/archives/1002945537.html

“... In esoteric Buddhism, there are times when people try to change such feelings (desire for love, etc.) into power aimed at enlightenment. The following is a partial reference example, but you need to be careful when interpreting it. If you try to capture the content in general perceptions, myths, and truths (secular in a broad sense), etc., you may make ridiculous mistakes and mistakes, so please keep this as a sufficient assumption.

When it comes to “greed,” it's also something you won't be able to live without, so there's no need to think strongly that “you absolutely have to get rid of it.” We too cannot maintain our motivation to walk Buddhism without the desire to have a bodhi heart (seeking enlightenment) or a desire to be someone who can save sentient beings at all.

In short, I think it is important to identify bad desires and good desires, amplify good desires, and be able to suppress bad desires.
