I know lust is a sin but why do lust have a huge hold in your mind

And then when you act out on it you feel 10times as bad as you had it in the 1st place , the thought of it .
I feel the fella downstairs is trying to destroy me with that thought. I rarely act out on it but when I do I feel so crap and guilty over it .
I didnt last for a few years now with something in my system (either nicotine, compulsive eating crap and much more )
I'm striving for perfection is my problem but I'd love to get to that point with nothing in my system or acting out on thoughts in my head .

@Kiriniri Except that the majority of people...esp your age, mistake lust for love which is why the relationships rarely last

@Fernie so true.
but I like to think I have a good thing going with my bf 🤗
if it lasts or doesn't it's still fun😌

@Fernie I'm thinking down the same lines what your thinking . That's why lust is deciding to overwhelm me with thought and happens especially when I'm on my own

@Fernie That's funny when I was a kid I knew them apart..

They tend to march hand in hand though with me. Demisexual.

@PDXNative1986 Love and Lust are very different things,,,One easily exists without the other. Few of us actually KNOW what love is...real, pure love...until, if we are fortunate, we feel it...for real...not just say it because it's working horizontally
