Not only that, but the Desert Fathers (and maybe the Stoics?) teach that you cannot control your libido if you cannot control your diet. The bible talks a lot about diet I hear.I will add, and the whole topic is off color, that practice of celibacy is a big help to meditation practice, as meditation experts have claimed forever, so far as religious practice goes.
Lesson learned, for all Men of Good Will.
This is the very first lesson of Evagrios in the Philokalia. Perhaps, Father Anthony too.

The Christian teaching is that among the demons, the three lead ones fuck with desire (diet and sex), laziness (Nietzsche's demon of the 'sixth hour', whom he name Zoroaster), and envy/pride.
Be watchful and keep your hands on your spiritual swords, Aryans. I wouldn't worry so much about the lower level ones, as the upper level attaq myself. This is what Jihad/Podvig is about.
But if you can't fix the low level attaqs, your Jihad is worthless.
