You are not alone in this. Many have the same problem.
You need to pay closer attention to women.
You need to notice that they are people with feelings, hopes, dreams and aspirations just like you.
This can take a while because society, the media and even women them selves try to portray women as beautiful objects to be sought after and possessed.
This is all nonsense, just an illusion. Women are just people exactly like you and me and they deserve to be treated with the same respect and dignity that you would want to be treated with. They are just gods children and we need to afford them the same respect we afford Allah.

Jes and RB have the right idea! I would add that you need to be con sistent in your reading, study, and obeying HIS WORD. GOD has everything that we need to get thru such trivial matters. HE has every answer covered if you only are consistent at being a true Christian.
Study these scriptures and see what you think. To become a Christian:
HEAR - Romans 10:17 So then faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the word of God.
BELIEVE - To the Prison guard in Acts 16:31 Paul and Silas said, "Believe on the Lord Jesus Christ, and you will be saved, you and your household."
REPENT - Acts 17:30 Truly, these times of ignorance God overlooked, but now commands all men everywhere to repent.
CONFESS CHRIST - Matthew 10:32 "Therefore whoever confesses Me before men, him I will also confess before My Father who is in heaven.
BE BAPTIZED - Mark 16:16 He who believes and is baptized will be saved; but he who does not believe will be condemned.
CONTINUE TO BE FAITHFUL - Revelation 2:10b Be faithful until death, and I will give you the crown of life.
Send me a note if you have questions. I am anxious to hear from you. Have a Great day.

All young men battle with sexual fantasies, but you can change that if you change the way you see women.
Most men who see women as sexual objects do not believe that women have any worth beyond the sexual.
The secret to overcoming a sexual addiction is to learn to see woman as valuable in many other ways other than sex.
This is a process, it takes time to change the way you look at women.
If you were a Christian, I would say, 'Go talk with God about it and ask Him to take the sin of lust away from you'.
Women are not property to be used or abused at will.
Also, it is wrong to lust after a woman, but it is not wrong to look upon a woman and see her real beauty.

Just remember brother that if you commit sex outside of marriage you are committing a sin in the eyes of ALLAH and will be whipped 90 times as punishment for your sin. Pray the 5 times a day and close your mind to all other thoughts and ask ALLAH to help you.

some do; some do not....yet finally it would not count what Christians trust about Jews. i'm Jewish; i develop into delivered up Jewish; i am going to continually be Jewish and that i will inform you, with reality, that in my view AS A JEW there is not any hell. Now i'm no longer announcing that that is a incontrovertible truth that there is not any hell; i'm no longer announcing that. i'm only announcing that in accordance to my discovering and my non secular thoughts, I received't flow to hell and that i'm very particular about that. So finally it would not count to me what everyone else believes about it yet me.

The thing to remember is that sexual desire is a natural feeling.
It is how you deal with it that is the real challenge.
If you think of sexual desire as a glass of water.
Acknowledging the glass of water isn't bad.
Wanting the glass of water isn't bad.
The act of restraining yourself from drinking the water, even though you are thirsty, is what spiritual strength is made of

Once you recognize that a goal is desirable, and that the Almighty wants you to achieve that goal, then the next thing is to receive from Him the power to gain that objective. (Let this mind be in you which was also in YAHOSHUA-- Phil 2:5) It is His power and His choice, but you must allow Him into your being to gain the objective.

The Bible says we need to renew our minds. What are you putting in, such as reading, or viewing? View women as your sister. There are things that you wouldn't do to a sister. I believe it would help to study the Holy Books.

Get into Jesus Christ, and devote yourself to Him.
It is written in the Bible, Submit yourselves therefore to God. Resist the devil and he will flee from you.
The emphasis here is the submission to God.
You are not struggling with something no one else has. It's pretty common.
