LUST
is a good thing.

Oh--there are people out there who want us to think "Thou shalt not lust" is the eleventh commandment. But really, to say "Thou shalt not lust" is like saying "Thou shalt not be thirsty" or "Thou shalt not be hungry." Lust just is.

A basic biological appetite is not evil. Our powerful appetites keep us and our species alive. Sex and eating and drinking are intensely satisfying for a reason: to ensure survival.

It's how we act in response to the messages from our bodies that can get tricky, especially regarding human interaction. So, we pay attention. Pay attention to what we're hungry for, to when we're thirsty. We don't want to woo someone too young to consent. We don't want to be drunkards or immobilized by too much weight. We don't grab the chimichanga off a stranger's plate when we walk into a restaurant, nor do we sweep him off his feet and onto the floor. We show restraint, we become discerning. But that still leaves a million and ten other options for consuming beverages, eating and fooling around--approximately.

So we eat, drink and choose our sex activities responsibly. And, let's do enjoy life, dahlings.
