A thought:

When managing asthma (a lifelong medical condition in which people can have trouble breathing) a person will often need two different sets of medications:

1. "Controller" Medication: this is a medication that must be taken daily regardless of the persons breathing status on that particular day. This is a constant medication running in the background to prevent breathing issues
2. "Rescue" Medication: this is a special medication that is ONLY used in a breathing emergency (i.e. an emergency that the "controller" medication was not able to ward off).

I think lust needs to managed like asthma.

Interesting approach. What do you think could serve as an effective rescue medication?

Proactive and reactive approaches.

I agree.

Pro active is a busy yet not too tiring life, with meaningful activities and healthy diet and exercise.
Pro active is internet filters.
Pro active might be bening a meber of this forum
Pro active might be a 12 Step programme.

Re active is mindfulness - treating the lust as a passing thought rather than something that must be acted on.
