If you are wrestling with unwanted sexual behaviors or recurring sexual behaviors, and want to get free, you have to know the why behind the what? What is the why, behind your specific what?
So for example, if you struggle with pornography, and you're typically looking for a certain kind or genre, types of people, gender, or specific sexual acts in the pornography? What's the why behind those specifics that you're looking for? Or if you're acting out with other people physically, and you're typically doing certain behaviors, or looking for certain types of people, what's the why behind the specific kinds of people or activities you're, you're typically drawn to.
You can't stop the behaviors by just knowing the what. If I know that I'm typically looking at pornography, I can get filters on my computer, I can set up accountability software, I can get rid of my smartphone and have a dumb phone. If I know I'm acting out with people through this app, I can get rid of the app.
There is merit in that, you should do that. But when you get to the why underneath it, you can actually get to the heart issue.

- What triggers sexual desire and attraction?
