    Just because I did just see something that has triggered quite the urge, I'd like to see what other people do when something like this happens to you.

    Depends on a lot of things. What emotional/ state of mind am I am in?

    If I am stressed, alone, or horny triggers could be a recipe for disaster.

    If I'm relaxed, fulfilled and focused the same women/images etc. wouldn't phase me a bit.

    I maintain boundaries I set up to keep most triggers from popping up as for the IMMOVABLES, I can not control I have an escape plan.

    I've written a lot about this in my journal. Basically I evaluate where my head is at and why, then change the situation.

    Good luck, great question.

    I could answer a more specific question. Strategies vary, dealing with thoughts and fantasies are different from getting triggered by someone at street, and ad. I usually just get away from whatever triggers me and I try to avoid it.

  4. Don’t think about it and refocus my mind and body to another thing, any thing
