• The General Mental Health Forum is now a Read Only Forum. As we had two large areas making it difficult for many to find, we decided to combine the Mental Health & the Recovery sections of the forum into Mental Health & Recovery as a whole. Physical Health still remains as it's own area within the entire Recovery area.

    If you are having struggles, need support in a particular area that you aren't finding a specific recovery area forum, you may find the General Struggles forum a great place to post. Any any that is related to emotions, self-esteem, insomnia, anger, relationship dynamics due to mental health and recovery and other issues that don't fit better in another forum would be examples of topics that might go there.

    If you have spiritual issues related to a mental health and recovery issue, please use the Recovery Related Spiritual Advice forum. This forum is designed to be like Christian Advice, only for recovery type of issues. Recovery being like a family in many ways, allows us to support one another together. May you be blessed today and each day.

I'm pretty sure we've all had one of the moments where we go, "Wow, that guy/girl is pretty hot..." or something among those lines. I've personally had qualms about "lust" due to not understanding it. Being gay, I find it little less stressful 'cause the majority of my university comprises of females, but there are a lot of guys there that are attractive. What I want to know is if just thinking someone's attractive is lust? My understanding of it is when you only have sexual desire for them, with no care for their personal needs etc. Moreover, how would I combat lust? It's basically my hardest sin to beat...
