an.1.16 Aṅguttara Nikāya (Numbered Discourses)

16
“Mendicants, I do not see a single thing that prevents sensual desire from arising, or, when it has arisen, abandons it like the feature of ugliness.
When you attend properly to the feature of ugliness, sensual desire does not arise, or, if it has already arisen, it’s given up.”
