I assume our biological drives influence how much we are affected when we see a "sexy" person, but probably also your level of self esteem and quality/quantity of experiences. Having said this, what else can I do to remove the grasp that people's looks have on me? I might see an attractive woman, maybe even an attractive guy once in a while and I may feel lust, intimidation, jealousy, desire, etc.

I try to imagine that we are all just skeletons underneath, all living in a speck of dust in the universe, but the visceral emotions i described are hard to ignore.

I want to be able to see people and not feel those "negative" thoughts or feelings.
