You're doing a great job and fighting like a dedicated warier in the army of Hashem! Keep it up!

I saw an interesting idea that can give us a better perspective on our urges for lust.
It says in the Torah "A man who marries his sister... it is Chessed... and they will be cut off .." Chesed? That's a strange word for a terrible sin. The Baal Shem explained that the verse included the word Chesed to teach that lowly lustful desires are a misapplication of the Heavenly drive for Chessed. The verse is bemoaning the disgrace saying, "Lust? How could MISAPPLY CHESSED, the most radiant and important of character trait!

Lust is when we seek to connect with something or others, (especially of the opposite gender) for our own selfish pleasure. Lust, as the most virulent bodily desire, teaches that generous giving is the most powerful urge of the soul.

Perhaps the following thought might help overcome improper drives: The animal soul is ascendant when lust is actualized. If one acts according to the dictates of the selfish desires, one is little better than the beasts of the wild. On the other hand, when one displays selfless giving, the Heavenly soul shines through the body.

When experiencing lust temptation the body is reflecting a fallen urge of the soul. Let's transform the lust to engage in Chesed - selfless giving to other humans and to do for Hashem.
"If I am not for myself, who will be for me? But if I am only for myself, who am I? If not now, when?"

Yea it happens. Not necessarily because one watched something inappropriate recently, but because of all the filth one absorbed in their minds by watching such things in the past. The wet dreams used to bother me also (and still do a little because it's not good to have them) but I was told on the forum to not dwell on them too much because of that reason.

Yes, don't dwell on it.
I had my fair share while working on being clean. Eventually it will become less common.
keep it up!

One who has given up hope is without a G‑d.

One who sees hope in each day is already free
