You explained two parts of lust. One part that most of us view and the part people tend to forget about.
IF only more people knew the parts that were so harmful. -
You definitely express two ends of the spectrum here, as well as in between; and the dichotomy. One asks oneself; is it worth this transitory pleasure for the possible life-time of suffering (such as aids)? - not to mention other consequences. Good Diamante, and very thought provoking! Best wishes in the contest!
