Sexual Lust, Desperation: Why it’s unattractive & a really massive turn off to people

In my previous post, I mentioned how lust may seem appealing to some people at first blush.  I am sure there are a few conniving women out there craving the power to subdue some man and derive thrills bringing him to his knees.  More than one man has dreamed of being that rock star that all the girls throw panties at. However, being an idol or the recipient of someone’s lust (or worship as we previously defined it) is not really all it’s cut out to be. 
I think the only appeal for this really resides in the idea that one might exploit someone for their own personal ends, but familiarity really does breed contempt in this situation.  Because at it’s essence, Lust is really only a strong consuming feeling for satisfying one’s personal aching need; lust really has no regard for the well being of others and it can’t.   Personalities only get in the way of lust when the image becomes their focus.  Females are reduced to sex objects; men are reduced to meal tickets.   Lust’s obsession with fulfilling it’s own need can be all consuming to the point that it blinds you to all else.  Any male or female who is idolized will come to quickly realize this when they are in it.   In our culture, we call such individuals who lust ‘desperate’ and they are a massive turn off to other people.    Of course, when the lust is mutual this reality is not always so obvious to self-focused people.   As long as relationships remains superficial the images can be preserved for a time, but the truth always seems to be able to kick in the door eventually.    Relationships based on lust become a mere horse trade.  ‘Men feign love to get sex and women feign sex to get love’ as the saying goes, but if each party is only feigning it, then neither one of them are really getting it.  So the real manipulation and exploitation of the other is always unmasked in the end.  The impending problems that surface like weeds in these relationships I will discuss in a later post.   To summarize, sexual lust is not really as glamorous as Hollywood would make it out to be.  Lust can never provide the fulfillment you seek in a relationship like real love can.  Only when God is placed first in the hearts of people can they begin to care for the needs and wants of others to make fulfilling relationships possible.
