People have different perceptions regarding with lust. Some think that they have to control it properly to balance their sexual behaviors. However some realize that it is the cause of being not peaceful in mind and try to avoid every situation that encourages being lustful. Some never pay attention and let it be naturally. What do you view on it ? What are the issues of lust and suffering? Is it related to the liberation from suffering?

This is an interesting question. The issues that I see in lust is that if you give into your lusts,.(Because many times your lusts can be things that deep down you know you shouldn't have), there will always be suffering latter. Maybe not tomorrow. Maybe not next week. But in time, what you pay amounts to the suffering. Whether it be your money, freedom, health, or yours or someone elses life.

The question makes it sound as if lust is a bad thing. Au contraire. The feeling of lust is something to be enjoyed, and it often leads to extreme pleasure.

Desire to have sex is a very natural feeling, and emotion! There is nothing wrong with desire. Because sex is great, and normal, and it is ONLY when the religious portion of the program. kicks in when you run into trouble!
Having children should be a well thought out process! when you can afford to have them, should play an important part of the decision!
BUT, TO SAY THAT PROCREATION IS THE ONLY REASON FOR SEX,,,,IS WRONG!
Sex is to be enjoy for its own sake, not just to reproduce!
And what about all that GREAT PEACE OF MIND IT BRINGS~.
Religion ruins SO many good things!!
SEX IS THE BEST ONE!!!!!

Whatever a person allows to enter the eyes or ears will get into the brain, if it is pondered on enough it will get into the heart (the Core of your spirit), then it will come out of the mouth, once it comes out of the mouth, eventually it will be manifested in your life.
I suggest placing God's word and praise and worship songs before you, that will start driving the evil thoughts out of the mind and replace them with good thoughts.
Romans 12:2 And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of the mind, that ye man prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.

Why should one have to “deal” with lust? It’s programmed into people, it’s what makes them human. Fighting against natural behaviour is dangerous and it can lead to all sorts of mental problems.

It's a natural urge to procreate, it's hardwired into your very psyche, seeing it as anything more or less than that is ignorant; suppressing such urges only causes further unrest.

Wanting anything is a cause of suffering, especially if you can't have it. This includes sex.

Lust is much like avarice, learn to deal with it from that angle by being grateful for what you do have..
