How To Overcome Sexual Desires?
If you notice, people who are deeply involved in some intellectual activity, would prefer to read a book than have sex. Trying to get rid of something is not the best way to approach it. Instead, you should find something deeper than what you know right now, then you will be easily able to drop it. If you experience something bigger than sexuality, than automatically you will drop it. Sadhguru says - "Sexuality is just a small part of you. People have become overly sexual only because of stupid morality, because they are trying to forcefully drop it".

How To Move From Lust To Love?
Lust is a strong need. Love is not a need. Today, people are physically inactive. Unlike earlier times, everything physical needed for survival is already taken care of. This has made people neurotic, because the energy is not worked out - it is trapped. Sadhguru says - "When you love, you settle down, nothing more is needed. You can just sit here for a lifetime. With lust you cannot sit anywhere. You either get into some mad action, or you are bound to go crazy". So, either, one works out the energy through physical activity, or another way is to simply drop it and move ahead - this is meditation.

Is It Sinful To Have Sex?
What is "immoral"? Sex is a natural drive, it is natures way to ensure reproduction. Somewhere we are being made to feel guilty about our biology! So, we need to accept sexuality as an essential element of physical existence. At the same time, we need to understand that the role of sex in the life of a human though fine, is limited. Sadhguru says, once you find pleasures deeper than the mind, sexuality recedes in significance. What is needed is to cultivate a certain inner balance, so that sexuality finds its place - neither exaggerated, nor suppressed.

I’m Addicted to Sex – What Should I Do?
Sex is natural aspect of the body. But Sexuality is psychological - it is your creation. If sex stays in the body, its fine; once it enters the mind, it becomes perversion. Sexuality has become very big now. This is so because somewhere we have not accepted our biology. As this continued over a period of time, sex has become a huge thing in people's minds. If you observe - more joyful you become, less is the need for pleasure. Sexuality is fine, there is nothing wrong or right about it, but it is only a basic aspect of life.
