I hope someone experienced can answer this: how do you stop being aroused by seeing women?

You might as well want to be a midget. It is not going to happen.
Humans are sexual, and it is normal to view women and have lustful thoughts. The more you fight it, the harder it gets.
Be real with yourself. Accept who you are. But challenge yourself to keep your dignity. Avoid ogling and staring.
What brings you joy, happiness, or feelings of satisfaction? Devote yourself to those things.
I believe that this "lust" is true, but also partially just an indicator that your life needs genuine fulfillment.
You don't want to be "immune" to women - huh? They are not a disease.

 

Close your eyes

 

Technically possible, astronomically difficult.

If you're serious I'd suggest looking into buddhism practices.

Start out with a meditation practice then apply yourself to researching this particular manner of enlightenment.

 

Not sure if you can stop being aroused when you see a woman, you have testosterone in you, it's responsible for the attraction towards women.

You can however control being aroused by women by controlling your libido. A man who is able to do that is a real man.

You can overcome lust and desires by not thinking about sex and not make it a priority in your life. But sexual attraction towards women that's gonna be there, as I said you can control it by controlling your libido.

 

My opinion is that you can use that attraction you towards women to your advantage. It’s what drives most men to do their best. You can be attracted and not nervous or lustful. It’s just something that will come with time. Lust for women is bad, but desire is natural. Learn to see that women are beautiful, the way nature is beautiful. Nature doesn’t make you lustful.

 

If you are not going to go talking to that woman I would say, after the first glance that happens when you realize it is and attractive female, lower you gaze. Do you best not to look there. You are not going to get anything from staring at her body, only urges and frustration that might end up as a wet dream or a relapse. You can look at her face.

 

When you starve something enough, it will eventually die.

 

I would not recommend that but go ahead. Let me know how it works.

Edit: I think the looking away method after the first glance does just that. You will not feel or think about it no more. When you do not feed the thoughts after seeing a nice body on some one. More you look the more you will think about it looking good etc. Realize that it is a nice body but do not look again and focus on something else like breathing etc.

What if you end up with ed after getting numb of seeing nice bodies and looking at them so much?

 

I am not one of those people, and I am sorry if you think so. Good luck in your quest.

 

I like this post, I think if read properly it makes a lot of sense.

Asking what is normal is a good statement too. But lust is sexual desire. Its nature is (and always will be) sexual.

I think whether we believe it or not, we need desire if we are to be successful in building our futures. Thoughts become desires, and desires become actions.

Also agree that lust needs to be managed and controlled by accepting women as real life individuals and not just objects for our visual and emotional satisfaction. There is nothing wrong with viewing a woman and saying ‘that is a beautiful woman’ or even ‘God did an amazing job making her’ and continuing your day. Trying to immune yourself to the opposite sex, is like trying to push a large bolder up a hill. Gravity will always be against you, and if somehow ,some way you manage to move the boulder an inch, you are likely to be exhausted.

I don’t think women are the enemy here, it’s about getting your physical, emotional and even mental ‘life’ under control for the long-term that is life.

 

I know what you mean. Lust is indeed the entire libido. In your mind, there is like an anti you that operates to not make you overthink things and to make you attracted to specific things. That anti you is the libido itself pumped by the testosterone, and that anti you if damaged by porn for example can produce fucked up thoughts in your head.

I once tried to overcome all lust: desires for cars, desires for games, desires for women and I managed to succeed, but I did not know that it was all fueled by my OCD. Yes, my OCD fueled all those thoughts, something was not right. My dopamine level began to lessen. Keep in mind, in all those periods I was watching porn and things got worse when I began to masturbate, all that plus my OCD created fucked up thoughts and fueled my desire to block all lust and desires, I thought I finally managed to do that and indeed I did but that played me backwards, I began to lose all motivation for life, I did not know the lack of dopamine caused by porn viewing and my OCD were fueling my thoughts to block all desires and I ended up having almost no desire or motivation for life activities. I've began being on bed almost all day, being numb and not wanting to do anything.

So, beware, be sure all of this intention into wanting to block lust is not generated by OCD and lack of dopamine and beware because if you succeed, you might lose all your life motivation.

Your libido is your life force, if reduced, you begin to lose motivation. Desires, as @mentorr said are what drives you to build a successful life. You just need to know whic desires are healthy and whic are not and control your lust. Lust is positive if controlled, it is negative if not controlled. We all need that dopamine, that lust to keep going forward in life, that's why I recommend you to not go that route of overcoming all desires and lust, but rather try to control them. That way, you'll succeed in life.
