The other 1% were probably lying. Being Christian and married doesn't mean that other people of the opposite sex are not attractive anymore and there is no sin in finding them attractive. Lust and acting on lust are sins.Originally posted by TaterTot:
I read in a book where a group was surveryed at a women's conference, and the resultes were that 99 percent of women(yes women) have been attracted to someone other than their spouse. These were Christian women, many in the ministry. Thats not saying that they acted on those feelings.
You have to have a certain # of posts (for women's forum it is 100) then you ask the mod of that forum and they give it to you.Originally posted by rlbcompany:

Someone can be attractive to me and I can still have no sexual thoughts whatsoever about them. I acknowledge that many models and actresses on television are attractive. Many of my co-workers and people around me of the opposite sex are attractive. Does that mean I lust after them and have sexual thoughts about them? Maybe in a moment of weakness which would then be lust, but usually not which wouldn't be lust.Originally posted by RayMarshall19:

That's not lust per se. Lust (in the context of sexuality) is unrestrained and/or inappropriate sexual thoughts. Emphasis on unrestrained and/or inappropriate. It should be noted, however, that lust is not automatically a sin. It's only a sin when it's inappropriate. I lust after my wife frequently, and it's no sinOriginally posted by Gold Dragon:

It is probably less common for men than women.Originally posted by TaterTot:
Is it uncommon for guys it be attracted to someone but not lustful? Or can the two be seperated normally?
It is not unusual for anyone, male or female, to recognize physical/sexual attractiveness of another person. I guess you could call that being physically attracted. But the connotation sounds worse than it actually is. Krispy Kreme doughnuts have a physical attraction for me, but thanks to a new year's resolution, I stay away from them, at least for 6 more poundsOriginally posted by TaterTot:

Yes, absolutely. Physical attraction and reacting to physical attraction are two different things.Or can the two be seperated normally?
