Lust Is lust good or bad?

1. How is love different from lust?2. Would you accept someone’s interest if

you could see it was just for lust? Why/ why not?

**How could you tell if someone loved you or lusted after you?

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.

Read the text. 1. What is sex meant to be like? Para.12. What is a lustful person like? Para.23. Why is being lustful a bad way to be ?

Para.3 & 4***What do you think about the way the media and our society encourage lust? Does it make a difference?

“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.

It doesn’t mean anything. I just want a bit of

fun…

you’re not really my type..but

I think you’re really fit..

Change what Adam or Eve would have said, before

they fell to make it a loving relationship

I’ll be gone by the morning…

I think we should stop talking so much…

Stick the 2nd “lust” square over lapping the 1st “real you” square and label them.

Explain 1. Which you prefer to be seen as, and why2. Which aspects of the “lust” square you would

feel devalued by, if any.

On the first square of paper, draw a picture of yourself in the middle, and all the things you would like someone to see about you.

On the second square, draw a picture of yourself, and all the things that someone consumed with lust for you would see.

Real you square

Lust square

Why is lust a deadly sin ?
