Some people think, when you open the door to a certain sin, and then overcome it, that you are completely free from that sin. Well, i guess that's possible for a selective few.
But, it's been my experienced, even after not having any activity with a certain sin that this flesh rears up every once in a while. Does that mean I'm still controlled by my sinful desires? NOPE! It only means I have opened myself up to a temptation, which resulted in me training my flesh to like and... in some cases, to desire or become addictive to a specific sin. So when I retrain my flesh to stop participating and enjoying certain pleasures, like sex, in particular homosexuality, my flesh will from time to time crave what I have rejected. Why? Because the flesh, the sin that I have opened myself to, will crave to do what is contrary to what is right (Romans 7:14-25).

That is why I have to beat my flesh into submission in order to do what's right (1 Corinthians 9:27). In other words, just say NO!
JUST BECAUSE I DESIRE SOMETHING, DOESN'T MAKE IT WHO I AM, OR MAKE IT RIGHT. The nature, or the desire of sin still equals to sin. So just say no. As Jesse Duplantis once said, "... admit it, quit it and forget it." That's right. Say no and move on.
