Even after following the path of bhakti, lust in various forms still troubles a lot. No doubt that after coming to devotional service, chanting the holy names, the process of cleansing of the heart begins but still out of the blue we still fall down. This creates a great feeling of guilt and at the same it begs the question that how and what to do to fight this sinful enemy of Lust.
Please share regarding whatever you have heard in lectures or read in SP books.
Thank you very much

The following website created by His Holiness Bhakti Charu Swami tells more as to how male and female devotees should interact. Lots of good information!

Hare Krishna everyone
Dandwat pranam
Lusty desires within us again and again disturbs our bhakti process. Inspite of continuos chanting, reading SP 's books, listening lectures such desires may arise in our heart. But we can take this as a test of our seriousness in bhakti, this shows our immature stage and kills our false ego of considering ourselves as elevated devotee. Rather we should try to increase our efforts. And after all this is maya of Krishna ,only Krishna can save us from its clutches. Raise your hands in full surrender and ask him for his mercy. He only can save us, we shouldn't think that our efforts can save us but only Krishna and his holy name has potency to save us from Lusty desires.
Chant Hare Krishna and be happy
your servant

Hare Krishna Prabhu!
Some of the best ways to overcome lust is to engage the senses in Krishna-conscious matters. This means either reading, watching, listening, eating or doing some activity that is centered around Krishna. When a devotee is doing something that is focused on Lord Hari, it is VERY difficult for him to fall down. Granted, we are human and we do make mistakes. But we should strive to progress in Krishna-consciousness rather than fall back into Maya's clutches time after time after time.
Haribol and I hope this helped!
thank You Sekou Prabhuji for Your answer!
Your servant,
