Lust is in most cases an emotional detachment from someone and just sheer physical desire. People give themselves to others for all the wrong reasons, and people are many times hurt when a person leaves them after performing some act of physical want, whether it be a simple kiss or giving one's entire body to another. Men are moer ignorant of that fact, and are even in most cases complimented for it by others like them. Why should a female be considered a slut when a man is to be thought of as a man's man? Both are equally disgusting to me. When a male tells me of his "conquests," I could almost vomit. How could one be proud of that? How could one possibly find such delight in it unless they were an emotional sadist? To me, it isn't possible. It is a mental sickness of the modern world to think that it should be like that. Men leave women behind to tend for a child after a night of passion, not once giving thought to what in any God's name the child will be feeling when it thinks, "Why did my father desert me? Was it right to do that? Should I grow up to be the same?" And the woman, what is she supposed to feel when this man uses her for that "simple pleasure?" Males are not the only ones guilty , however. Many times a male falls for a women only to be used for the same pupose. Physical pleasure. In either case, feeling are not thought of during such acts, simply self gain. So those guilty of lust are also guilt of avarice. I am not saying that if one loves another truly then they should not partake in such activities, but if one does not take into account the feelings of the other party, then they are only contributing to the decadence of modern society that they most likely complain of. Dante said that Lust is the worst of the sins. I would have to agree.
