Eta Carinae Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 I also believe that when lust is used concerning people it does refer to a sexual desire, however I think it can be legitamately used with non-human things. Lust is a desire for something. Yes. It can be legitimately used in that manner. However, that usage is figurative (unless you've got a fetish). Like I said, it's the difference between saying that I hunger for cake, and saying I hunger for power. Same word, but the thing they're describing is different. Sexual lust and non-sexual desire are not the same thing -- one is accompanied by specific physiological changes -- and it's a mistake to say that they are simply because the same word can be used to describe both.

Cate Perfect Posted December 3, 2003 Share Posted December 3, 2003 Alright, my theory is that lust isn't simply desire but expectation. I think the closest I've ever come to that feeling is when I'm waiting for a new book to come out. Couldn't agree with you more. *suffers from horrible booklust and loves every minute* Cate Link to post Share on other sites
