@@Thaijler Yes but as long as you don't allow a mistake to wreck your life it's ok to pursue something you want. It may not be a mistake. If it doesn't work out at least you know you tried which imo is better than looking back always wondering "what if" ? Not just looks receive btw. People can be full of false piety, pretend to be a good person when really it 's all an act just to steal something from you or hurt you. What is the whole concept of "Pick up Artist's?" if not to lie to women to get intimate with them ? Guys who tell girls they love them just to get them into bed and never call again. People lie more than honest emotions do. If you are attracted to someone that's just lust. If you're single you can act on it. If you're in a serious relationship.you really shouldn't.

Lust is the desire to have/use for the purposes of self satisfaction. In a religious marriage the idea is that you never use the other person but instead give and receive and curtail that selfishness

[@Notaweebiswear]

He always puts into words what I cannot. I always say "Communication is key but people forget the rest of it. Communication is Key to relationships and growth, but Balance is Key to life." Peterson always says stuff like be the monster then control that monster, as he does now be lustful but control that lust to your advantage. The crux of it all is still to find Balance. But he explains it effortlessly where I fall short

[@rushiljain9423]

Just read this line from Paul yesterday and it's hitting me hard in this moment of confusion for me. I have avoided sinning (having sex outside marriage) till now but it is getting harder and harder everyday to the point its distracting me from doing other things in life. I think I need to think towards marriage rather than just doing it out in the wild with some random girl

[@D-Reality]

​@@rushiljain9423a few can relate to this, including myself. I've had my fair share of experiences; and it was often a focal point in my life. When it was a focal point; other areas of my life was seriously neglected. Being out there isn't as fun as we'd like to fantasize about. The more you are able to identify it, the better you can make wise decisions: instead of solely being led by animalistic instincts.

His eloquence is unsurpassed when he speaks of hard truths and eliminates rebuttal by his delivery

[@garrettwurdeman7133]

In my own meditations on this, I’ve reached a secondary conclusion. A man cannot truly unselfishly care about a woman who he wants anything from, especially sex. Only when he’s eliminated that possibility (small as it may or may not be) can he love that person like Christ. That’s one reason why hookup culture is incompatible with Christianity.

[@lizdi2813]

Excellent point. And so many people (male and female) are shocked when they enter into marriage and find out it isn’t actually a never ending sexual buffet. There are so many seasons of life that couples go through where the well is shallow, or completely dry. As a Christian you have to keep saying yes to loving that person without any “payoff”, and those times reveal so much about one’s true character and capacity for unselfish love.

[@Sandra-bx6yy]

Does that include his wife too, in your opinion?

[@garrettwurdeman7133]

@@Sandra-bx6yy that’s really good question. Husband and wife are to “one flesh”. This is a spiritual reality, and in sex it is a physical reality. Since marriage is about serving one another, the unparalleled intimacy of sex is another way for husband and wife to love each other.

[@Nyrkes]

Better yet.. How many businesses/companies have been ruined because of 'Lust..? How many conflicts between countries have been due to 'Lust'..? How many lives have been prematurely ended because of 'Lust'..? It's considered a small aspect, but Lust is a disruptive force capable of destroying everything it comes into contact with as long as the ones it envelopes aren't capable of reigning in their emotions.

[@jennifersinclair6044]

I've been thinking a fair bit about this lately. For thousands of yrs people were getting married for more practical reasons. Until that last century or so. Then eventually it became for "love" only. And divorce & domestic violence went through the roof by comparison to before. I don't see love being much different than lust anymore. So of course lust is destructive. It's not based on anything foundational as respect, values, truth, honesty, etc... It's a momentarily whim. No house can last without a foundation.

[@gussampson5029]

It's always interesting to me how people think that what THEY understand the nuanced meaning of a word to be is what the actual meaning is. Despite the fact that everyone grows up differently and uses/hearts language used in a different set of contexts and circumstances. Not to mention that people are often trying to communicate very nuanced things within a wider context than just the specific and precise meaning of the individual words. It seems to me that they're speaking of religious matters and hence referring to "lust" as a nod to the religious usage of the word. Rather than, say, having a simple discussion of lust as a psychological pathology in a modern context. I feel like those who nitpick grammar and word usage almost always have a lack of self-awareness and yet perhaps a little bit too much self-centeredness. The idea that "The way I believe the world to be is definitively the way that the world is." Belief is necessary but so is understanding that others believe differently and they just might have something of value to add to your worldview.

I'm listening and simultaneously pondering... That I don't fully understand why people feel the need to instruct other adults on the issues of celibacy, monogamy, heterosexuality. Now, don't lump the issue of Parents instructing their children into my statement. That's self- evident; in the term, " parent ". In continuing: adults acquire understanding, sympathy, compassion for people that are sharing familiar struggles. Can the average person sympathize with the astronaut that suffered the immense pressures of G- forces during his space flight? No, because a G- forces experience doesn't naturally occur as a problem to people while walking and bicycling... Does the average adult experience selfishness? Yes. That's why it's exhibited in possessiveness. "You're mine, we're married." ... "Don't look at my wife like that. " On the flip side... the person that you feel the greatest attraction to; is likely to be the person that you'll choose to spend the most time with (... unless the feelings aren't mutual). That appears to be the biggest cause for divorce... People change interests and the neglected party seeks somebody who won't change interests (rapidly? ... er, ....as rapidly? ... uh... with less frequency? ... um, ... habitually? ...? ). That being the case: "there's no vow, no marriage contract... that can guarantee you or the other parry in the contract; that your interest or, their interest won't wane to an unbearable level over the course of a lifetime ." One could vow; "that they earnestly would prefer that they'll be able to maintain a satisfactory level of interest", at best. That simply just doesn't bear the same connotation to the dramatic emphasis of... "the until death do we part" declaration of unwavering devotion. But, you think " that itt is best" : preferable... for a stable society... that it should keep up appearances; in pretending that " it's a normal course of action to maintain monogamy for a lifetime"? ...Then penalize divorce seekers with high legal fees and (loser's) guilt; for deviating from the prescribed norm - although it's a facade at best and a hurtful lie at face value? Adults have proven that their attention span isn't as developed as we would like to believe. The attention span of a 3yo is not as great as a 14yo... a 20 yo typically has a slightly longer attention span than a 14yo... but the next big level of maturity is noticed among 40yo. and again in 60 yo. Early matrimony is preferable for reproductive purposes when considering fertility rates and optimal health ratios. ...But, that's not an optimal time for making mature decisions about lifelong commitments. Considering the serious nature of making a vow before God. ... as for adults who have discovered some where along their journey... that they have an attraction for the same sex; (even though I don't personally understand it)... ... and I'm fairly certain that they don't even understand, why the opposite sex is unappealing; considering that their only explanation is , "I was born that way" (which I completely discount as a plausible source of origin ). I understand that some would prefer that a stable society (establishing PERMISSIBLE norms ) best not recognize that there are naturally occurring abnormalities... Therefore, celibacy is the dictatorial edict to any free citizen that doesn't have a sexual attraction to the opposite sex. Because, maintaining the facade ; is more healthy for society than maturing and understanding life's variants. ?

[@Tiborqius]

Nothing wrong with being lustful, or enjoying carnal pleasures as long as they take place in a genuine and loving relationship. Sexuality has been demonized enough for centuries, and unfortunately many ''enlightened'' individuals continue to do so. Embracing your own sexuality is a beautiful divine gift, and no one should be ashamed of it. Human beings are also sexual beings, not just spiritual. Taking out sexuality from the equation, goes entirely against our own nature, and against divine creation. Sexuality is beautiful. Lust is beautiful. Making love is an art, and can be one of the most powerful tools to reach nirvana. There's nothing to be ashamed of, acceptance is the key. God Bless!

It's easier for theological doctrine to place the emphasis on the lust rather than the responsibility and accountability of the choices you make.

[@moniquekoningstein1877]

Interesting how Dr. Peterson plays with his wedding ring while talking about lust. He appears to almost take it off and he puts it back on....just an observation. Yes to self discipline.

[@debrawilson8049]

Cool Russell Brand and Dr. Peterson. You nailed it in your explanation

Just like magic. Either enchanting or turning dark. very potent tool

[@camtheman3x6]

Yep, definitely not working for me.

To me, that control is easy. I only have eyes for the person I’m with and if it’s no longer a good relationship, I leave. Then I have some down time to reflect before considering dating again. Currently haven’t dated in years. Open to a good relationship but not seeking it.

[@xxdrewxx6]

so, you just leave when the going get tough? Good luck

He says theological doctrine focus on the control of love. His problem is he's mistaking love for passion. This is a common mistake even our Webster's dictionary definition of Love is passion, strong emotions, lust. But true love is personified in Christ on the cross. This is what true love looks like. Self-sacrifice charity. Quit thinking of Love is libido or drive. Love is a willingness to die for what's true and what's beautiful.

In short lust in and of itself is neutral, the determining factor is how it’s used and how it shows itself. It can destroy relationships or it can allow one to flourish

I'm digging his suits lately

The great thing about Brand is that you never have to say "hmmm. Maybe he's right about that." He's either obviously right or laughably and buffoonishly wrong.

Finally this guy is being interested

YES we are NOT animals, we can control our actions.

[@SLam-ve3yp]

We are animals. To be precise, we are mammals. :)

[@mondavou9408]

I don't believe either work. Clearly, following your every sexual desire DOES NOT WORK. However, remaining with the same partner loses its attraction (although intimacy does improve). It can't be reconciled. Lose, lose.

[@sshuriksevo]

Remember in the Bible when one of the sons of King Solomon was lusting after his half sister? He forced her and after that he didn’t want her anymore, ruined her life. A few minutes of uncontrollable lust ruined her. Lust after your own husbands and wives and you will be happy

I never knew these two people have been the same room 😂

He rocks any suit.
