The gist of RR/AVRT , as far as I understand it, is that the beast or AV is a hijacked portion of the mid/lizard 'brain', that part of us hardwired to respond to urges for survival/evolutionary purposes. That part that utilises urges to indicate action, in addiction the doc and the urge to experience intoxication is somewhat supplanted into or combines with the midbrain and becomes mistaken for a survival need. It would seem that sexual urges are pre-hardwired in that 'system' naturally or normally.
Behavioural changes to deal with obssessive complusive tendencies , curbing of sexual addictions, sexual urges or behaviour beyond healthy normal levels, seems like something an AVRT approach could help with, but I am not sure if the same methodology would be fruitful in ending an urge that is considered 'normal' or hardwired.
It seems to me that would need to come from a cultural/religious/philosophic realm.
