But there is a second reason why lust is a dangerous vice; among all the pleasures of man, sexuality has a powerful voice. It involves all the senses; It inhabits both the body and the psyche; This is beautiful, but if it is not disciplined with patience, if it is not part of a relationship and a story in which two individuals transform it into a loving dance, it becomes a chain that deprives man of freedom.
Sexual pleasure, which is a gift from God, is undermined by pornography: satisfaction without relationship that can lead to forms of addiction. We must defend the love of the mind, of the body, the pure love of giving to each other and this is the beauty of the sexual relationship.
Winning the battle against lust, against the “objectification” of the other, can be a lifelong endeavor. But the prize of this battle is the most important of all, because it is about preserving that beauty that God wrote in his creation when he imagined the love between man and woman, which is not to use each other, but to love each other.
That beauty that makes us believe that building a story together is better than launching into an adventure (many Don Juans out there), cultivating tenderness is better than bowing down to the demon of possession, true love does not possess, it gives itself . Serving is better than conquering. Because if there is no love, life is sad loneliness.
