Hey Splash, Everytime anyone here writes about lust or lustfull thoughts I always think of this. I watch Joyce Meyer whenever I can, she is a really good Preacher/Teacher of the Word and she has a daily program called "Life In The Word". I highly recomend that program, by the way. She has been responsable for helping me to deal with quite a few issues concerning Christianity and boylove. Anyway, durring one particular show she gave her deffinition of "Lust" and I have not found another one that I feel is any better. Here it is... "Lust is when you want something SO badly that you are certain you cannot LIVE without it." As I apply this to sexual feelings, regardless of the object of desire, I can see that my thoughts, although they can occur QUITE often and can be quite explicite, AND can also keep me engrossed for long periods of time, STILL they do not fall under that description of lust. I do not try to rationalise my sexual feelings in this way, but it goes a LONG way in keeping me from condemning myself over them. Anyway, it's just a thought, I hope it might help because I know this is something you have struggled with for a long time. Love in Jesus Christ, Chris |
