Disrespecting parents and fornication are major sins, and it is not permissible to prefer one over the other in order to commit it. One should continue to seek treatment from specialists, strive against one's desires, and repent to Allah. Furthermore, one must seek Allah's help and persistently supplicate Him with the well-known supplications, such as: "O Allah, I ask You for guidance, piety, abstinence, and richness," and "O Allah, I seek refuge in You from the evil of my hearing, my sight, my heart, and my semen," and the supplication for leaving the house.
