Is physical or sexual lust more of a problem for men or women?

Question

I would just like to know if women feel the same profound need for sex as men do! And being a follower of Christ do you feel that your are as subjected to these lusty feelings as a man is?

Answer 1

As a Christian woman, I have came across women who struggled. It is a flesh thing. I mean if it was not a problem, why would the bible have so many instances where that was the main reason for God to punish them. There have been new studies in the churches, that found women are having more struggles with Internet temptations than men, cause it is easier to get without people watching. We all need prayer for this. That is why the bible states that we are get married if we can not satain from it.

Answer 2

Yeah they do, however society which been dominated by men, has cowed women in being more asexual. Women have lusty feelings (which is good and normal- shows you are living), however for ego sake and fear, men dominated societies have made women feel "evil & dirty" so that they are subservient. Luckily the abundance of information is changing this.

Question: think abt this....If women are less lustful why are they not allowed in certain groups to lead the church, they would be less prone to "falling" sexually eh? and be good role models rights......

We are all the same (men and women) ..sex , ambitions ..just that the dominant group dictates the rules .....

Answer 3

Personally I would say men. We women tend to be less turned on by the physical and more so by the mind and romance.When a married man or single man has a physical relationship it is more likely due to a physical need or want. When a woman has such a relationship it is usually due to a emotional need.

Answer 4

i guess both men and women feel the "feel" with the same intensity..only men let out fast....but some studies show woman have a higher degree of lust...don`t know the reason...

god designed us to be subjected to this feelings it`s not at all wrong ...why do u worry so much it`s all very very natural..... after all woman is very much a human too ..what is wrong if she lusts for the paradise on earth..?

Answer 5

as much as I despise the objectification of girls human beings, I see porn as a real looking outlet for adult males's sexual desires, whilst used moderately. i think of maximum adult males understand that the photos in porn at the instant are not genuine - they are strictly delusion. the undertaking arises whilst a guy can not separate delusion from reality, or tries to impose his delusion choose on a reluctant considerable different. Your decision to end finding at porn is in keeping with risk a clever determination, through fact each and each exposure to it could basically make stronger self-indulgent sexual habit, once you look to have a prefer to have a mutually relaxing sexual journey with a real guy or woman. i think of once you come across a woman with whom you may prefer to have an emotional relationship, you will *want* to thrill her, and the intercourse should not be one-sided in any respect.

Answer 6

Not that women don't lust, but men are more visual creatures. So, seeing something sexy effects them more. Lust is a sin, but men aren't the only ones who do it.

Answer 7

I'm not a Christian. But I am a woman... and I don't have a problem with the "profound need for sex"... actually, I rather enjoy it.

Answer 8

i think both sexes deal with it. it's a matter of self control which can only be manifested thru the power of the Holy Spirit.

Answer 9

Since when is a healthy sexual appetite a "problem"?

Answer 10

It's a sin for both either way.
