I'm glad this turned out to be a troll. I was hoping, because this is just really sad stuff.

Apparently I have not been paying attention. This one not even on the radar.

You have to still use your head and not just think with your genitals.

I lust after huge numbers of women. I enjoy the feeling. It never leads me to "do" anything, because I'm married.

So sure, just like all our urges, we need to be on the lookout for when it may end up harming us. But trying to deny or suppress our natural thoughts can also be very harmful.

i have been there, there is nothing fun about lusting after something you cant have. thats basically what lust is. to jesus thinking about having sex with a woman is the same as having sex with her. it can be worse in some cases. when the hearts involved it can be a real bad thing.

Hey, guy...sorry to change the subject for a minute. But, are you "against" the usage of capital letters?
Or is your shift key just malfunctioning?  

Just wondering.

Lust is lusting after something you cant have...

In other news, hunger is being hungry for food you haven't got, and circularity is being circular in lieu of actually saying something intelligent.
At the age of five, Skagra decided emphatically that God did not exist.  This revelation tends to make most people in the universe who have it react in one of two ways - with relief or with despair.  Only Skagra responded to it by thinking, 'Wait a second.  That means there's a situation vacant.'
