I get sexually aroused at the site of a nice set of boobs, or nicely shaped woman's butt.
Am I choosing to get aroused?
Perhaps the Science Forum would be the correct venue for exploring your sexual fantasies publically.
Originally posted by vivifyIf so, kindly tell all the teenage boys* in the world how to stop choosing for that when you're being asked to do math on the black board. Thanks.

Matthew 5:27-28 "You have heard that it was said, ‘You shall not commit adultery.' But I tell you that anyone who looks at a woman lustfully has already committed adultery with her in his heart.
Matthew 18:9 And if your eye causes you to sin, tear it out and throw it away.

You know me well enough to know otherwise; only issue is selecting the appropriate forum for locker room guy talk.
Originally posted by JS357This is one my favorite examples of how biblical morality is far too strict. Just looking is the same as adultery? I guess pretty much every straight guy (and lesbian woman) qualifies as an adulterer, then.

Originally posted by SwissGambitThe situation is somewhat complicated in that the definition of "adultery" has evolved. I will go out on a limb to encourage discussion -- adultery was having sex with another man's wife and was forbidden as a kind of theft (from that man.) So lustfully gazing at another man's wife indicated disrespect for that man akin to the disrespect shown by actually having sex with the woman. It seems to me if you don't know she's married, or know she isn't, it should be OK, but you should try to find out.

Originally posted by SwissGambitThere are only two categories of human sin: covert and overt. The sin of adultery (as well as fornication) begins with a temptation to an individual's lust pattern; carnality begins with thought and may result in overt action. Volition is the issue.

Originally posted by vivifyWhether you are aroused or otherwise is irrelevant because you can certainly choose to act or not to act on your impulse. May I suggest you try to meet a real women rather than fantasise about imaginary ones or one where the liklihood of you ever acting upon your impulse is greater than 1x10^50
