How Do You Deal With Your Desire?

How do we start to deal with that discomfort by acknowledging it? I mean, i think that desire is a conflict for all of us. And ok, it's a conflict i can face and acknowledge, rather than walk away from or pretend you don't even have. But again, confacing it yourself. It'si something like death, of course, that makes us uncomfortable, but pretending it's never going to happen isn't necessarily helpful either.
