How could I fight temptation and lust?

How could I fight temptation and lust? I can't just walk up to the woman and say,

"hey, put more clothes on; you're making me drool"

if that won't work. what are my choices?

Update:

@WiseCrack: and perhaps you could wonder why men become Muslims.

Update 2:

mental health?

Update 3:

Ha, @Archer et al: Before you know it, you are begging to be cuckolded by your wife. Mental processes, and trying to sort out feelings aren't working anymore. There must be more tangible choices nowadays.

    It is only natural to feel a sexual desire and temptation for the opposite sex, you have intelligence and self control and it is this mindset or determination that holds a person together.

    The body can be separated by top and lower levels that stem from the heart, the top being reason and logic, lower being desire and the drive for sexual appetites, thus in prayer Jews will wear a special belt separating the two halves.

    If you are married you should have sex with your wife or intimate relations with her, if you are just a typical guy (your not the first) you have to deal with it.

    I follow what is morally and ethically appropriate EVEN nowadays - what changed?, don't try to control it, let your body run its course and continue living your life without distraction because it will ultimately cheat you of respect and dignity.

    You don't want to be labelled names because you feel the urge and so you state the obvious, just turn a blind eye that's what I do.

    When people force themselves onto you, you need to say, that is enough!

    Personally I was doing one of my subjects and a guy tried to pull my pants down, guess what!, my pants were tight around my waste, another example was that a guy touched my penis - I stood my ground and made it obvious that I was not going to be touched that way again.

    Need self discipline and if you fail, its not the end of the world.

    In Judaism, many orthodox Jews will emerge in the Mikveh after they have emissions since it is normal and there is nothing to prevent it, until the next time (most Jews don't do this).

    I know what you mean, I get Horney too, its natural but even I have to control myself. I am 17 and never kissed a girl, no Joke if I were presented with the opportunity, my question would be - how? but lets not go there.

    I can't concentrate when I have to study sometimes, but I am headstrong in pursuing University and reaching a professional education, you have to be stubborn and I even take breaks.

    Temptation and lust are two faculties of human being that work in your life,then they can work for your goodness as well as your badness its depend on how you use them.

    So there are certain rules and regulations in order to use it for your benefit and lose.

    Then temptation and lust can be a bridge to bring you to heaven or as well as hell.

    For one example, in controlling temptation and lust on sex life ,then man and woman should get marry.

    Please spare your time and study the religious etiquette, then you would be well verse in handling this issue

    It is not the object being viewed but the viewer who is generating lust and temptation. If one is assured of their self worth and self esteem they would not need to feel tempted or to lust. The fact that you are unaware of this demonstrates that you are lacking, seriously lacking.in self esteem and self worth.

    You should, maybe it will work. Can't rule out something you haven't tried.

    If you are having such problems with controlling yourself then I think you have mental health issues. Seek medical attention not religion.

    stop lusting after a woman's body

    think of her as a person a human being not a thing to satisfy your sexual lust

    This is your problem, don't look if it bothers you. You can't blame other people for your own feelings and desires, and you can't expect other people to change their behaviour to match your shortcomings.
