I think lust is something you want very badly but are most of the time unable to acquire it.
It's not just about sex either 😉
Though, that's what its generally stated as lust can be used on anyhting a person wants badly (desires is a better word)
And most of the time our lusts and yearnings are not granted to us. The girl we want, the food we want, those cool clothes we saw at Dillards we want, that new GT Mustang we want.....everything we want is lust
We all experience it

Lust is a sin, yes, but sex isn't.
Plus... I'm not entirely sure what you're saying here.
if you take lust in the narrow vision of sex... it is completely natural:
humans aren't the only animals that have sex purely out of lust without the idea of reproducing: dolphins do that too
of course, some religious people would say: "but we are not animals" and "it's still a sin" etc
so all in all: this can be a discussion that will go on forever

Now, now.
Your previous post said "Well maybe if Mary and God let us all in on the secret of getting pregnant without sex we wouldn't all be committing the sin of lust and sex would we? Assuming we all want kids, which we don't."
"COMMITTING THE SIN OF... what... LUST?"
Rephrase your thinking.
Technically in the "BIBLE" it is a sin, but the bible is bullshit...just alot of jewish myths....Lust is something that a person will naturally feel on his or her own.. We don't control having lust... Like AC said Sexual Attraction isn't a sin it's in all human beings and if we are physically or sexually attracted to a person then it is lust if we're not in love with the person.. So therefore lust is natural..

and lust is normal! as lana said it might even be healthy, obviously u must try to controle it sometimes, u cant go around having erections for evry cute girl u meet 😛 cuz thinkin about sex all day might not be too healthy....however, lust is a natural thing not a sin, just a part of our wrecked lives
