   It seems to me that you don't understand Buddhism at
all.  Lust  is called an afflicted emotion because it's
based  on stupidity and promotes dukkha for oneself and
others.  Buddhism  has always taught about transforming
afflicted  emotions.  You can check it reading any good
Dharma text.

           The  non-doing  of any evil, the performance
        of  what's skillful, the cleansing of one's own
        mind: this is the teaching of the Awakened (Dhp
        183).

   Best wishes,
