Re: Dealing with Lust
lust is just excessive sexual desire... think about all the vices.. they're all something that are in excess... for example... having desire for money is not bad, because we need to live in this world, shelter, feed and clothe our family etc... but a person who is constantly obsessed about making money and having more and more money is a person with Greed... thats excessive desire...
there's nothing wrong with being in love with someone (in my opinion), but having lust is not good... sexual desire WILL be there in a relationship, but having excessive sexual desire (lust) where a person is thinkin only bout sex, is not good...

Re: Dealing with Lust
We all have our individual interpretation of many things, Love, Hate, Lust and there in lies the problem, in relation to things being confussing. One person will have one view, another something else. For me the Bible is a road map that I try to, but do not always understand and use as a guide. However I am also guided by my own personal choices based on the values that I set for myself. Some things are clear cut in my mind others for a variety of reasons are not so clear, so I live sometimes knowing that I am making the right choices, mostly hoping that I am, and sometimes knowing that I am not, whilst aspiring to do better.

After reading this i googled lust and agree with what your saying. its funny how we can think we know what common words in the english language mean. i can apply this to my life and realise that i DO have a problem with lust cos i excessively crave sex even when im getting it. if someone hasnt been in the mood when i am and i have to lie next to them and not be able to get my wicked way it tears me apart and makes me wanna cry. so now comes the question how the hell can you curtail lust?
lust (l  st)
n. 1. Intense or unrestrained sexual craving.
2. a. An overwhelming desire or craving: a lust for power.
b. Intense eagerness or enthusiasm: a lust for life.
3. Obsolete Pleasure; relish.
intr.v. lust·ed, lust·ing, lusts To have an intense or obsessive desire, especially one that is sexual

Re: Dealing with Lust
By understanding that this world is not as real as you think it is.
It's a cheap copy of the real thing.
Once you understand this, the attractions of this world will fall away as you mature in this understanding.
In order to get away from this tarbaby, you must let go first.

Re: Dealing with Lust
lust is just sexual energy... if u learn yoga they'll teach u about the 'chakkras'... and how to divert this 'energy' that you have.... i think i've said before that horniness is just energy, and the key is using this energy in more effective ways and diverting it to something productive...

Re: Dealing with Lust
My personal opinion as far as lust is concerned, it appears to me to be an intensely selfish feeling and act. It is taking and not giving, in whatever scenario, be it sexual or not. In regard to the sexual context of it, lusting for your, boyfriend, husband or whatever is not what one should experience if Loving that person is what you claim. Your passion and love for that individual, should make everything beautiful not lusting for…. as people have stated in prior posts, again just my opinion. Unfortunately many of us have been poorly programmed by life's events, and personal experiences. If those experiences are distorted, such as lust our ability to comprehend spiritual truths can be off center. This I think is where an individual becomes defensive or will try to justify their lustful feelings, and the reasoning of another unlustful person will have a negative impact because this happens to be their circumstance that they are in at that particular time. As it has been said and which I agree with, our programming of Life has been poor. Passion and Love continue to grow and flourish. So in essence how would one control Lust? Well it is said that, it is a natural law that anything not fed will die. And whatever you have drawn to your breast is what is growing in your life. First, it hears your heartbeat. Second, it is warmed by your closeness. And third, it draws nourishment from you. This so true!
The caution here is to be careful of what you nurture, be sure you are nurturing what you want to grow and starving what you want to die.
