music help because it makes you think about something else.

Music can be a great balm to relieve Taavah. However, I would caution against listening to niggunim that have a fast beat, because I have found that sometimes they make that Taavah worse/stronger. In general, music is best used to prevent the sadness/depression/agitation that Taavah feeds on.

Music often works for me. I have specific songs that are my go-to songs

Nothing is like the classics of Mozart and Beethoven (without the opera singers additions of course) to soothe the soul and mind. (and no, I am not a Buddhist ;D )

Music is great because it relaxes the mind and allows us to think clearly. I find that listening to certain jewish songs that i can connect to on an emotional and spiritual level help tremendously in relieving lustful thoughts and feelings. It's like taking a deep breath (call out to dms1234) for the soul. I've actually found, that at different stages of my life, i connect to different songs. For example, there was a long time when i felt that i could really connect with the song Bsheim Hashem Benny Friedman. Something in the melody, and something in the words just spoke to me and i felt like i could relate to it.
