Can a man win the war against lust?

Published by

on

Will you gentleman be aroused on seeing a pretty lady in half dress?

When your masculine hormones responds positively,

  • What if she is cooperative to your wishes?
  • Then,  will you feed your lust-hunger or Move away, holding your morality or loyalty or promises to someone else ?

Why is it so tough to resist the temptation or win the war against lust (in an unintended relationship) ?

    Lust has always been more common than love and loyalty. More people are addicted to the thing that are bad for us because it doesn’t require much effort to sin. So another words lust is addictive. Love and loyalty is the greatest felling in the world but comes with great responsibility. Lust doesn’t come with responbility. It’s so much easier to lust than to love

    Here you’re putting a men into a different situation and not many have understood it properly .the question was just simple and straight forward…if a woman looks at you with lust, how will you react?
    after all, I believe in ‘one man, one woman’ policy.

    Men are by nature polygamous. They often don’t even try to resist the lust. Of course, there are exceptions…

    I don’t know if I can put my thoughts into words clearly. There is an underlying belief that Men can talk freely of their lust while women can’t. Men have an advantage over almost everything due to so many reasons. Women have been the subdued and the weaker sex in the past and the culture of men raping women or expressing their lust in other manners have become so prevalent that some men think it is alright. That men have lesser control over their senses than women (A friend who thought so, told me this). I think it is the whole attitude that has brought this about. If women were stronger and we had an advantage & control over the men, the same story would have been reversed.

    So I think, the ability to control or not to control isn’t gender specific but depends upon a particular human being and his mind. Our society has dissected and bifurcated everything on the basis of gender that people are unable to see otherwise.

    In my humble opinion there are so many different variables! One of the biggest is the poor mans ego. If he feels wanted and cared for and has his needs met at home, the risk of temptation is lessened. In practical terms, it is easy to turn down a few chicken nuggets if you just ate a steak at home!

    Another is the mans sense of honor. I would not want my kids to see me as a less of a man. I have a daughter and would destroy a man who took her as his wife but hurt her. I need to set an example for my son.

    Admittedly sometimes it is hard, but it is not worth the pain and anger it creates.

    Unfortunately there are also some women out there who think of it as a game and look at men as if they are playing hard to get so their ego joins the battle as well!

    I am not sure, if they can. But then again if the woman responds positively then I do not think it is even possible. Having said that I have seen faithful men who would try and do their level best to avoid the adultery.
    So I guess it all depends on the individual.

    Yes.

    Yes.

    Yes

    Then, will you feed your hunger or move away holding your morality or loyalty or whatever.
    Yes.
    Why move away from morality, loyalty or whatever? Sex isn’t a sin! It isn’t a morally degrading experience. It does speak about loyalty, but don’t loyal people (to each other) have sex ? Whatever, yes please be specific!

    Why is it so tough to resist the temptation or win the war against lust?
    What? There is never a war against lust. Fir some, it is tough to resist sometimes, but that doesn’t mean that people go on a lust rampage with the first person they find.

    But then again, it goes both ways!

    It’s in my opinion not hard at all. Tempting but not hard. Ones mind reacts to what one has taught it through behavior and environmental perception. In each case one should not that each persons reaction is different. The question can be asked if the degrading of women wasn’t so prevalent in today’s society would we be so tempted to act on these forced lusting situations.

    Well, I don’t know much about the topic, but what I have seen and read in the books, the only thing that actually stop a man against this war is fear of post regret, the burden he may be subjected to after the situation (if he is already holding promises to other woman), at times not too, maintaining loyalty is a difficult task I see.
