Lust is ruled by the celestial sign of Venus. just as the song goes...

Goddess on the mountain top
Burning like a silver flame
The summit of beauty and love
And Venus was her name

just you might wonder why i didn't put Venus by Bananarama online. it's not a good song to put it on your website. it's a no no. just my preference.

She's got it
Yeah, baby, she's got it
I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire
Well, I'm your Venus, I'm your fire
At your desire

and i guess a song like the one playing now; is more suitable to the term LUST.

When marimba rhythms start to play
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more

L.U.S.T. a covet. a crave. hanker. a hunger. a desire a want a yearn and a thirst. something seaps through the sweat glands of man. a 5000 years or longer history of stories which causes wars to erupt, a civilisation to wipe out, a country to fall. there's no difference in skin colour, in dynasty or in kingdoms.

Just as man uses woman or a woman in history knows the essence of seduce. it brings out the animalism in man to surface. or the materialsim aspects that provokes the appetite of man.... that aroused him to create crimes, news or even murder. in case you wonder why i did not place murder together with crimes; as lives were involved.

i think it's fine to want career, a position, a path, somebody even if lust is the solvent. but the line boundary or the perimeter is set by the person himself or herself. which we often overlooked that. when was the last time you pissed somebody off? i always have a safe zone for things, for events...etc. as long as it doesn't inflinct a certain amount of pain and damage on people, matters and other aspects of issue. i think it's fine. the absoluteness of this point is my threshold.

So if you think you might be tempted to engage in a monstrous and/or bestial manner of copulation, or if you find yourself procuring some pollution without any copulation, thereby rendering yourself effeminate (as "unclean" is no longer considered an appropriate term), get help!!!!

Take a Lust Test determine your temptability. for fun of course. then what are you thinking? you lusty, chi go pek~( lecher in hokkien)

qouted from Medieval theologian Thomas Aquinas;

...wherever there occurs a special kind of deformity whereby the venereal act is rendered unbecoming, there is a determinate species of lust. This may occur in two ways: First, through being contrary to right reason, and this is common to all lustful vices; secondly, because, in addition, it is contrary to the natural order of the venereal act as becoming to the human race: and this is called "the unnatural vice." This may happen in several ways. First, by procuring pollution, without any copulation, for the sake of venereal pleasure: this pertains to the sin of "uncleanness" which some call "effeminacy." Secondly, by copulation with a thing of undue species, and this is called "bestiality." Thirdly, by copulation with an undue sex, male with male, or female with female, as the Apostle states (Rm. 1:27): and this is called the "vice of sodomy." Fourthly, by not observing the natural manner of copulation, either as to undue means, or as to other monstrous and bestial manners of copulation.
