how often would lustful thoughts come into your head for male and female

I'm a Christian but a lot of lustful thoughts come into my head at times say about once in every week . I'd never take advantage of a woman if lustful thoughts come in but they do come in and I'm very confused over the whole situation. Do lustful thoughts come in for everyone or is it just me that's happening too . I dont think I've a problem with . I'm on my own but they do come in .
What's your take on all of this

It's perfectly natural to have lustful thoughts when certain people are in your circle. Although your religion has no bearing on your body, religious teaching teaches that lust is evil. It is perfectly normal; it is only harmful if you act violently on those thoughts and inflict bodily harm on another individual.

@riseofthemachine There's a lot of dictation, taboo etc. I don't attend church services anymore.

@Cofuzion I swear but by hearing all of that stuff creates some fear and tension especially in the mind .
What I like about life is being free not by listening to people putting fear into you .
I know there's definitely a dark side to this world and being honest I'm not next to near it . I've a lot of freedom in my mind and that's cause I've good morals and they never left me but the tension in my mind is something else at times

@riseofthemachine You know what is right from wrong, that's all there is to it. Love according to what you want not how people want you to live.

They happen to everyone. I have OCD so what are called intrusive thoughts happen all the time. But in some people (like me) we get scared or disturbed or have some other type of reaction to the thoughts and think they reflect our true selves. But if they really did reflect our true selves they wouldn't distress us. The fact that you are reacting to your thoughts the way you are tells you that are not a reflection on you and they are against your sense of self. This is called Ego-dystonic versus Ego-syntonic.
The problem is when you try to fight those thoughts they just keep getting even more intrusive. One of the things that has helped me was to realize all this and purposely think those thoughts and try not to react to them. After a while your brain becomes numb to the thoughts and they lessen. But it can take practice.

Its absolutely normal and many people have sexual thoughts numerous times in a day. Its not sinful, its normal. Some of the thoughts are sometimes very inappropriate or taboo. It doesn't mean that you are a bad person. If any thoughts bother you just accept that the thought is there and then let it go without any concern.

I used to be a Christian, and I had the same problem. I thought I was knocking on hell's door, but I realized later on that it's just natural. I told myself, God created me, and he doesn't make mistakes... so there you go. If it happens, it's supposed to. As long as you're not taking advantage of anyone, you're good, brother.

@U53RN4M3 I be thinking the same about hell and especially in the mind that I'd think it would happen to me cause I be thinking I'm going against God

@riseofthemachine Trust me, you're fine.

Not to worry... I'm fairly certain, that stuff makes us human.😎

men and women are equally lustful, it just seems women are a bit more reserved about it. However I have been to a " party " held a male strip club. By far, men and less raunchy than their female counterparts. I was embarrassed and left. They were out of control.
Youre just a human being. It happened to me when i was a Christian, it still happens now.
@riseofthemachine i used to pray it away too. Didnt work. But nature cant be dictated to.

@AFreeThinker81 I've done this, trying to pray it away.
@Cofuzion i wanted it to work... I realky did...

It happens to all of us. It even happens more frequently to some than others. It's nature. As long as you're not hurting yourself or anyone else... to each his or her own.

@LaLumieri I be thinking I'm hurting myself when the lustful thoughts comes in . Your spot on there

Especially if you're not intimate with anyone, our lustful thoughts is all we got!
riseofthemachine · 41-45, M
@QueenandCrown but why do you think that happens especially when your on your own . It's amazing how they come in
QueenandCrown · 41-45, F
@riseofthemachine Attraction and desires are two attributes that people normally have. I think it's in our dna.

A lot but I don’t give in into bootycalls or a quicky just cause it “itches” down there. I would like to think that I am strong and above that lol I hope I mean we are not animals. Have you seen the video where chimpanzees are having a threesome? Looks like human porn at pornhub

Male- been married 34 years and have them every couple of hours (outside of my wife). Told this to my guy-only bible study, and asked if it was weird. They all said YES.. oh well, was hoping for empathy.
once a week is absolutely normal - would be weird not to

@Cofuzion that's very true . I was going through savage pain before and my friend told me "dont do to others what you wouldnt be like done to you"
