Time for Truth: I’m not sure why you ask. Yes, I have my own taivos just like everyone else, and I’m sure everyone here also transgresses things at times, sometimes even regularly.
This particular issue, IMO, is one of the most difficult for a frum Jew. With other taivos, we either have alternatives (such as a taivah for treif food – there are delicious options which are kosher), or in time things will be allowed (if a teen has normal teenage urges, they know one day they will likely be married).
When it comes to this, if someone wants to stay frum, what does that mean? It means being condemned to a life alone, without a partner. To never be able to have anything to remove the urge. It’s a terrible situation to be in, and they need support. That doesn’t even take into account the effects of society trying to convince the world that this is all normal, and attacking those who are opposed to this lifestyle.
