Lust is not a controlled reaction. Neurotransmitters and hormones fire through the brain's limbic system, specifically targeting the ventral tegmental area and the nucleus accumbens. Testosterone, yes also in women, acts directly on androgen receptors in the medial preoptic area of the hypothalamus. In women, estradiol enhances sensory sensitivity and works with testosterone while they're ovulating, to heighten reception to sexuality. Dopamine floods the nucleus accumbens, creating the anticipation, the drive to seek pleasure. This is where the compulsion comes in. From dopamine is synthesized norepinephine. It raises the heart rate, elevates blood pressure, dilates pupils, causes sweaty palms and the hyper fixation on lust. Serotonin, the neurochemical responsible for emotional stability and impulse control, decreases. Lust literally becomes an obsessed compulsion. Intrusive sexual thoughts, fixating on desires, reduced control from the prefrontal cortex (logic). Someone with lust is nearly like a crazed monkey desperately wanting to fuck. On release (cumming), the brain immediately shuts down the high dopamine through Prolactin, which surges. Because dopamine was driving the hyper focused, obsessive single mindedness of lust, its sudden drop instantly dissolves the compulsion for sex. Full blood flow and metabolic activity returns to the prefrontal cortex. Logic comes back. The sudden contrast is "post nut clarity", the instant return of rational thinking. Beta endorphins and anandamide act as sedatives, relieving stress. When the arousal is over, Serotonin restores equilibrium and eliminates the lack of impulse control. It's calming.

The urges are simple: to seek mating and release. You approach the porn addict, you tell them to stop, you get them off. That releases oxytocin too, which is for emotional bonding. The solution is sexual release. Relieve the sexual tension and the urges are gone. Stop complaining about being a prude and get to fucking.
