What to do in a situation where the person accompanying you is constantly demeaning and insulting your culture (Regional, Indian and Sanatana Dharma) and your belief system, insulting the sanatana dharma.

I am still not sure how to deal with my libido. As a young male, I occasionally experience extremely strong sexual desire. I am not in a relationship, I don’t masturbate or watch porn. I tried following some of your advice, such as exercise, breathing, creative expression, etc. It helped me enormously.
