What is the solution to the problem of surging lust upon seeing provocations despite trying to lower one's gaze, and does lowering one's gaze affect sexual activity after marriage?

Lowering the gaze from what Allah has forbidden is an obligation in Islamic law. A sudden glance is permissible, provided one immediately averts the gaze and does not persist or repeat it. Lowering the gaze helps extinguish desire, along with hastening marriage or fasting for those for whom marriage is not possible. The claim of a negative impact from lowering the gaze is false, for Allah Almighty commands only that which contains benefit for His servants.
