The dictionary says it is "Excessive sexual appetite, esp. that seeking immediate or ruthless satisfaction."
Perhaps you think that there is nothing wrong with lust. You believe that pornography is morally O.K.. What's wrong with looking at a woman's body...it's only "natural." True. Lust, and many other (what the Bible calls "sins of the flesh" ) come naturally to us. They are part of our "nature." It is natural for us to be selfish, greedy, jealous, lustful, etc.
If you really think that pornography is O.K., then is child pornography O.K.? Is that morally right? Perhaps here you draw a moral line and say, "No. Child pornography is wrong." At what age then does the perversion become morally O.K.? Does it become wholesome and right when the girl reaches 12...13...17 years old? Can you see that pornography becomes morally justified to you, when it gives you pleasure. Your love for the sin clouds your moral judgments. The Apostle Paul in the Bible speaks of sin as "deceiving" him.
