  3. Sexual attraction leads two people to come together in self-giving love, so they become one person to each other, and no longer want to live as two separate individuals. Love makes them want to give up everything for the other person. Sex is the way they show their union as one flesh. It is meant by God to express the love they feel for each other, and the unity between them. Lust is sexual desire without love. A lustful person does not want to be “one” with the other person out of love – they may not even like the other person or even care who they are. They just want the physical pleasure of sex. They see the other person only as an object to be used for their own satisfaction. Lust also disrespect the person who is lustful, because they let their lust take over their other feelings of respect or care– and this makes them become less than human. When you give into feelings of sexual desire, they do not burn themselves out – after temporary satisfaction, they come back even stronger, so the person eventually becomes controlled by their lusts. They can no longer respect or love another person properly. They will also never be happy or satisfied with any partner, because their lust will make them keep on seeking other partners, and even more extreme sexual thrills. “The soul heated like a burning fire will not be quenched until it is consumed”. (Sir 23:16-19)(ie the person of lust eats himself up through his own lust - it will neither satisfy him nor die out. Read the text. Answer the questions under each section. Overall, how much of a problem do you think lust is? ***How much does the media and our society encourage lust? Why do they do that?
