Does a piece of paper indicate marriage? Or does a life long commitment of mating and acceptance into the understanding of agape love constitute marriage.....In essesnce do we have to pay the government for our marriage to be accepted and condoned by god.....or does following the rules and guidelines within your marriage placed for under christianity a marriage under god make?

lusting or getting lusted over?

I think lust is a good thing. I hope to feel it again one day.

I'd settle for just a little bit of desire.

Especially in the department of sexual attraction.

Things have really been blasé around here lately. It's been really hard for me to even find women that arouse me anymore. But then again, I never go anywhere so that's probably why.

I need to break out of my 'lust' for staying home.

I would prefer both simultaneously. Otherwise it's not that fun.

Yeah really. The one-way thing is a bit frustrating. If the feeling isn't mutual, it's just not going to work for me.

In fact, to reveal a little secret, I'm pretty sure it would be virtually impossible for me to physically rape a woman and have intercourse with her against her will. That situation just does not excite me sexually and would in fact, turn me off to the point where copulation would be impossible.

If the woman isn't excited about having me around, then forget it. I don't care how "hot" she might be physically. If she has no interest in me, then it's a done deal right there.

I absolutlely require the psychic emotional connection. Without that, there's no sense in even talking about sex.

I'm a cerebral lover. You've got to stimulate my pineal gland if you want my penis to participate in the grand scheme of things.

Unfortunately, it's actually difficult to find women who can even comprehend that concept.

is it a deadly sin?

Hold on....I'm writing this down...

OH YES WHEN IT IS DONE RIGHT

is it a deadly sin?

Unfortunately, we don't have the luxury of judging ourselves before God. He is the judge, and his standard of goodness is much higher than ours. If we are not perfect in word, thought and deed, then we are sinners, and therefore need a Savior. You're no different than anybody else. I don't have to know your heart to say you're a sinner; God already knows and He has already pronounced the whole world guilty of sin, and that includes you and I. So I can say without doubt that you have sinned, not based on my own opinion of your heart, but based on what God has himself declared concerning your heart, and if we will take an honest look at our lives in light of God's law (the 10 commandments), we are not nearly as good as we think.

Looks do not inspire lust in me. It is the person and what they are like.

thats true. Condemning lust and physical pleasure is part of Christianity's general effort to promote the afterlife over this life and what it has to offer. It helps lock people into the view that sex and sexuality exist only for procreation, not for love or even just the pleasure of the acts themselves. Christian denigration of physical pleasures generally, and sexuality in particular, have been among some of the most serious problems with Christianity throughout its history.

Nothing happened, only the blood got sucked out, what with professionalism these days. But I was high as a kite from her lustful look for a week. It was not a lecherous look; it was not a lustful look; it was the look of admiration, perfect capitulation, with a hint of sadness in her look from the realization that it would take just one gesture from me and she would be a helpless little shivering putty in my hands.

That turned me on like crazy.
