I cannot recommend specific meditation techniques, because each person is different and needs to decide on that. General information is at:
“Bhāvanā (Meditation)“.

Regarding the second question, there has been a lengthy discussion at:
“Goenka´s Vipassana”
If you have a question specific to this particular technique, it is better to be asked there.

This topic was in the “General Forum” and I just moved it to this forum, where it should be.

@ Lal – would you like to share how you go about vipassana bhavana. Because for a beginner like me , some more clarity or some specific methods employed as in examples will help in great effect.  I read post on vipassana- buddhist meditation. you mentioned of two steps. can you please help in explaining how to practice to remove tendency to attach to distorted sanna

Thanks

I am very late to comment on this forum topic :) but would like to share my way of controlling sexual urges.

Mr Lal can guide us if this is called suppression or ok way to go about this kind of urge

1. I try as much as possible on continous basis (moment to moment)to contemplate the annica dukkha and anatta nature in everything around me including feelings, materialistic things.
2. I dont try to suppress (i think so)my feelings but try to observe them when it comes to looking at a beautiful women. Objectively dissecting my thoughts. a) like is it the hair , color, eyes, other body parts etc which is exciting my urge at the moment and that next moment i contemplate the A,D, A nature of those aspects also b) i contemplate that in my past life she would have been my mother, sister, daughter that in a way helps as well. c) Will it give me a pleasure which is ever lasting ? No . Then whats the point in pursuing those thoughts. 
3. Contemplate that we all are made from same rupa in a way 
4. Intercourse is just some moments of high pleasant sensations on the body

So in my view its beneficial sometimes to consciously look at what one considers the sensual object and observe within. One may have high urge toward opposite sex and that could be due to your habits from past lives. Important is we have come in contact with Buddha Dhamma. Anything change happens gradually

By the way no point in thinking of which stage we are at. Just enjoy the process without attachment
