lust (verb & noun)
: a strong feeling of sexual desire
: a strong desire for something
Desire. Seduction. Yearning. Sexuality. All these words are associated with lust, which has a very bad wrap for some reason. Lust is not only one of the 7 Deadly Sins, but the lustful are blown around in eternal restlessness, with hurricane-like conditions, in Dante's 2nd Circle of Hell.
The second definition for lust, according to Webster, is "a strong desire for something." Experts in business, education, and spirituality teach us to manifest our dreams by having clear intentions and STRONG DESIRES.
Deepak Chopra writes an entire book on Desire titled, The Spontaneous Fulfillment of Desire. He promotes writing your desires down and looking at them everyday. One of his meditations for finding your path includes, "What do I desire?" Author Napoleon Hill writes in Think and Grow Rich, that one must be clear and intent on a specific desire (i.e. noting down the exact amount of money you want to make) to gain financial success.
We are born with a clitoris; that mysterious little gem on our body with 8,000 nerve endings. Its sole purpose? P L E A S U R E. With enough attention, adoration, and physical care, this sacred spot provides women with hours and hours of sexual goodness. It's such a shame that this magnificent piece of our anatomy, which is all about sexual desire, gets mixed up with the sinners (Why do women get blamed for everything?)
The book Extended Massive Orgasm (EMO), by Steve and Vera Bodansky, focuses on exactly what the title states. They focus on the woman's pleasure (finally!). Steve and Vera advocate that a woman turned-on, is a lot happier than her turned-off sisters. And, "their happiness and attractiveness attract the fulfillment of desires." They basically teach the virtues of strong sexual desire and pleasure, especially for women. I meet with Steve and Vera next week. Of course I'll share with you more of their depth of knowledge on the subject.
Lust is a natural yearning. Lust is deep desire. Lust is a sexual energy. LUST IS A VIRTUE.
Lust away ladies!! It wouldn't be so bad hanging in the 2nd Circle with Cleopatra and the rest.
