Something of a companion thread here because of a suggestion made in that thread.
When was the last time you've lusted for someone? and how often do you find yourself lusting after someone?
I will qualify my own response first because I think there's a distinction to be made. It's quite easy to find someone physically attractive and consider the potential of physical intimacy for a fleeting moment and then totally forget about it. I don't really consider this lusting because it's a very fleeting fancy. My idea of lusting is something that lingers and I cannot easily dismiss. I find myself thinking about this person in pretty much a purely physical sense long after I've encountered them. Of course it usually fades over a few days. I must also add that for myself there's usually another element involved--circumstance and something I'm sensing about her character that I feel distinguishes her from random attractive women passing by.
Case in point happened for me two nights ago. I volunteered to work overnight to oversee a crew that came into to wax our new floors for our approaching store Grand Opening. At about 10pm I was informed the assigned security guard showed up and wanted to know where I wanted them posted. This security guard turned out to be a very pretty twenty something woman. I bit my tongue when she asked me where I wanted her.
Over the evening we managed to talk for several hours where I learned she eventually wanted to be a police officer and had already been trained in self-defense. We got along really well even after I learned of the inevitable boyfriend. But for days afterward her image kept conjuring itself in my mind and particularly in my imagination in the most intimate ways.
I still consider her too young for someone I'd likely date. But the pheromones apparently lingered for quite some time afterwards.
Anyone else?
