New Re: Answer
"Don't lust after the opposite sex."

Huh? Who then? Gary the fairy?

I have, do, and will lust after the opposite sex, for the same reason that a pine cone falls and spreads its seeds. But I am not a pine cone. I am a man. I live. I see. I feel. I will die.

How pitiful is all religion. "Religere" - Latin, to tie fast (confer "ligament", "ligature"). To fix. To bind up. To truss up God with nonsense. To fix God with lies; human lies. To sit God in the electric chair. To lop off his head. To hang him high. To gas him. To cut off his balls. To have no humanity. Be God. Go to him. Amen.

New There's a difference...
God's plan is for one man and one woman to meet, date, get to know one another, get engaged, get married, and do the dirty. (And have kids, and stay married, and enjoy each other your whole life ).

Lust is where you basically want to screw every woman you meet. Kind of like the Billy Crystal line from "When Harry Met Sally". I think the desire to screw everyone on the planet is more our own selfishness, pride, imagination,and sense of adventure than honest hormones.

But a person can pretty much talk himself into anything. So believe what you want, DRL...
New It's Natural!
I went fishing last weekend. The water was very clear, and I had polarized sunglasses on, so I could see pretty far down into the water.

I wasn't having any luck with a diving lure I was using. So I tried an experiment - I dragged the lure in the clear water below the pier I was using. I noticed that if I dragged it at just the right speed, so that it developed just the right wiggle, the bluegill would instantly gather around it - like "boom" and they were there. If I dragged it faster or slower, no activity. Something about the speed and wiggle of the lure had to be *just right* to trigger the behavior.

Now, when a fine bottom goes shimmying by, I'm like a bluegill to a dragged lure. It's just nature. Does that mean I'm going to bite? Obviously not. I only bite if asked. :)

So, your religion asks you to deny what is most basic about you - your animal heritage. This is good? No - it's the origin of all evil. Religion may have been pertinent at some time, but now it's just historical baggage.

New Diff between looking and acting on impulses
You're right about the wiggle thing. It does get our attention and that's OK.

It's when you start fantasizing about what you want to do with the other person that you start to get in trouble. It when your imagination gets ahead of building a relationship with the other person.

I dated my wife for 5 years. Lord knows I wanted to "do her" early on and she wanted the same very much. However, we managed to hold out until we were certain that we were committed to marriage before "doing it". It was very hard, but we had to let our relationship blossom in other ways (friendship, partnership, commitment) before we could do the fun stuff.

I just wish that men could somehow learn that women are people first, with feelings, sensitivities, opinions, and strengths and weaknesses. The sex part needs to come later as a result of a committed relationship.

But, because we are friends now, we have a great marriage, great kids, and I have a great family and church life.

On the other hand, I have an acquaintance at work who lets his tallywhacker do the talking, and he's about to destroy his 2nd marriage (the negative wife talk has already started), and by his third he probably won't even bother with the ceremony. He has two kids by two women (so far). I really feel sorry for him, because he can't seem to "get it right". Also, he's an acquaintence, not a friend, because he is so full of himself that it's really a joke around the office.
