    Honestly, I really liked Mindy as a character. Sure, she's a bit of a flirt but she immediately backs off once Homer expresses grief about sex with her and doesn't push for what is clear that she does want, which I think is a nice change from how her character would usually be portrayed in most media.

      I agree...in most media(and in real life) a floozy like mindy wouldn't care about homers grievances or destroying his family home. It's nice to see a woman with self respect as well as respect for other peoples families.
      I would never be able to cheat on a spouse nor would i be able to live with myself knowing i wrecked a family all because of my own selfish & immature compulsive actions. 🤢🤢🤢

      Ironically despite the context of the show forcing her into the "homewrecker" archetype, Mindy would actually be a better love interest than most animated sitcom wives.
      She's three dimensional, she has interests and hobbies, she has respect for herself and the people around her.
      She's a better character than Lois Griffin, both morally and in terms of writing quality.

      no, lust is no different than when you get hungry for ice cream or candy, there is 100% NO nutritional value to those, but you still eat them. Lust is just a mating snack. It's NOT intended to be long term or go anywhere. It is just a useless selfish treat that feels good in the moment! You don't judge people who snack alot huh? Are you fat shaming people who over eat? Would you sex shame someone who just enjoys physical sex with attractive people? There is NO difference! Fat people who eat too much are no different than horny people who fuck too much, if you hate on one you have to hate on another! Not everything you need has to have meaning to it. This video is just some incel never gets laid ass talk. Don't you DARE tell someone else who you live or what is right for them. I am living proof that "love" isn't real and does NOT last, but all those times I've had sex are pure! I dare you to tell me Hue Hefner wasn't happy and his life didn't have meaning! He didn't have "love" he made an empire on LUST and died a GOD amung men!

    I cried while I watched this. I broke up with my ex, and our relationship was heavily lust driven. She cheated on me with her friend. I'm still devastated. She broke my heart when I knew about it. I knew her because of her sexual drives, that coincidentally matched mines. I broke up with her almost two months ago, and stopped talking to her at all exactly a month ago.
    My therapist now understood why it is so hard for me. A person can't suffer too much because of a long distance 5 month relationship. Until he knew about the amount of lust we had involved.

      I watched that episode as well, and IMO, it doesn't hold. The events that led to Marge's encounter with her lover involved Homer sabotaging her birthday celebration and not feeling sorry about it, which is a jerk move in my opinion. That being said, you can't blame Marge for getting swept off her feet so easily. In Homer's episode, you can kinda understand why he still wants to be with his wife, because as off-putting as she may be with that nasty cold, he can tell she was still making an effort to keep the family and marriage together. In contrast, Marge only stayed with her husband in the end because the site of happy couples was enough to make her feel guilty.

      I remember there was one episode where Marge writes a romance novel, inserting herself as an unfulfilled woman married to a lazy, temperamental drunk (Homer) and she falls for a ripped, kind-hearted, handsome man (Flanders). Marge is somewhat put-off by it, even finding herself lusting after Flanders. At the end of the episode, when Homer finally reads the book and puts two and two together, he confronts Flanders and asks for advice to be a better husband.

    I loved that part when Marg walked out looking absolutely horrible. My favorite saying I say all the time is “What’s love without the gross parts?” People are gross it’s just a fact. I say just find that person in your life that you don’t mind taking care of when they’re at their worst. People are not all about sex and nudity. One of these days your significant other is gonna be so sick they can’t move and what will you do then? I literally had to carry my Girlfriend to the bathroom so she could relieve herself and after she was done I had to carry her back to bed. I can’t name a single person I would do that for other than her.

  • @MrsDragonChef
    @MrsDragonChef 2 ปีที่แล้ว +434

    The thing that no one tells you about love is that eventually butterflies fade, and at some point it just feels very normal and comfortable to be around that person. That’s why lust and infatuation is such a problem, because it’s the novelty of feelings those strong urges all over again. It’s horribly addicting and you shouldn’t let yourself become obsessed with it. The thing is, so long as you and your spouse still get along very well and still care about each other, have remained loyal to each other, and you have more good times than bad together then that’s all that matters.
    I’ve been with the man I love for 10 years now, only getting officially married last year. We’ve been through alot together and there’s no one on this planet that I’d ever want more than him. And I know that if I were ever to lose him, especially through some dumb mistake made on my end, I would never be able to live and be happy. Because I’d lose the one person on this planet that genuinely knows every messed up thing I’ve done, every mistake I’ve made, knows every flaw and insecurity I have and knows every messed up part of me, and still looks at me everyday and tells me he loves me.
    That’s why when I found myself being attracted to a friend of his, it made me feel such horrible guilt. Of course I never acted on that attraction, but brain had intrusive thoughts, telling me I didn’t love my husband and it caused me to have a panic attack over it. That guilt and fear made me believe it was true for a time and it hurt so much. I didn’t ever want to do anything to hurt the love of my life. The guilt is as so bad I couldn’t even look at our wedding picture without feeling guilty. Of course, I told my husband the issues I was having and he listened, and understood. He knows I have problems with anxiety and depression . I had to tell him many times how sorry I was, the horrible thoughts that would run through my mind that I never wanted to think of, etc. They terrified me. It took me a long time to really register his advice to me. That having bad thoughts doesn’t equate to truth, or being a bad person. It’s the actions you choose to commit that make you a bad person. And I also realized that love is not a feeling, it’s a choice you make. I went through so much uncertainty, and I questioned so much that I was sure of in my mind all because of that one panic attack. But even through all that pain and guilt, I never went a single day without making him know that I loved and cared about him greatly and did my best to keep taking care of him. He means the world to me and I never want to lose him.
    I’ve only recently begun to get over all the paranoia and guilt. Even now I find it hard to even look at men my age without feeling guilt or afraid. I’m not even attracted to them either, I just have a perpetual fear of making that mistake again.

Causes you to simp so hard you lose respect for yourself and harm your self confidence. Sometimes shame saves you . Plus this addiction can cause people not to respect you cause your willing to get dominated by a women you barley know . It does damage .

    I think that Homer also didn't lean enough into the people around him. I can't tell you how many times I've fallen to pornography because I wasn't surrounded with people who love me, or because I didn't have anybody to weather the temptation with. He might have been afraid to talk to Marge because he didn't want to overburden her while she was sick, or didn't want to introduce conflict, which might have been exacerbated by history. I think that us men are tempted to think that we can do big things alone, because sometimes we've had to, but during the good times, when we approach our problems in healthier, more peaceful ways, our ways of solving problems in the bad times don't work.

    Over the past couple of months, I have been dealing with my first breakup and thus succumbed to my urges after a 6-month streak. What sucks about it all was that while it only lasted a few months and you couldn't fall in love in that short of a time, we were highly compatible as we shared the same religion, hobbies, politics, and interests. Looking back, it was mostly infatuation with a hint of lust but we still cared about each other, or at least I hope she did. I still miss her but yet she just pretends like I never existed and it's like did anything that happened between us matter? I'm releasing a video about this topic to vent my thoughts and help people in the same predicament as me.

      Similar situation happened to me this year as well...after the breakup it actually left me reflecting on why I chose to go out with her in the first place, though we shared some similar values and interests, she didn't "really" care what I did do...and so it was better I broke up with her as no matter how much I wanted to help or care for her. It didn't mean anything, on top of her trying to manipulate me into thinking I wasn't worth the time. It gets better though in time, relationships can be a lesson to teach ourselves what to be careful of, how to go about things, and hopefully find someone that truly does love or care about us, as well deserves the time. Meanwhile live your life to the best you can, take up hobbies, workout, eventually someone else will come along into your life and give you the respect and love your after, just takes time.

It was alright at first. She slowly became manipulative, hating everyone we dealt with. Shit began to happen over the months, arguments, accusations of me cheating. I did everything to make her happy. I even gave her like, 100 dollars. It may not seem like much but, we are both young so I guess it means something. Maybe it didn't, don't know. Long story short I split up with her after multiple bad situations and her not wanting to change. Now she's with another guy. I was loyal. I never cheated or anything. So I don't get why it happened.

Look I'm not saying lust is necessarily a good thing nor am I trying to diminish the experiences of people who did have addictions to things related to it but I don't think that just banning things that are addictive left and right is the solution to the world's problems. I mean can't ANYTHING that causes pleasure become an addiction under the right circumstances? Like there are some people addicted to food and videogames but that of course doesn't mean we should be banning those. I mean, there are lots of stuff that are addicting and harmful to people that are perfectly legal in our country like cigarettes and alcohol. Those things even take lives every year. Shit, my aunt's boyfriend who used to come to church with us died of alcohol use and my mom has been hospitalized in the past because of seizures and injuries from accidents while under the influence but I don't think that means we should go back to prohibition. I like a few beers here and there and so do my sibs. Some people can handle it some can't and people who can't should definitely get help and they should get therapy to find the roots of it, especially because addiction replacement is also a thing where people give up one addiction for another

    This episode also perfectly demonstrates why lust is one of the seven deadly sins.
    As a side note I’d also like to expand on this idea about lust because sex and lust are very different things. Sex is about intimacy, closeness and being there for each other whereas lust is all about the body.
    Now, that being said, if both partners feel lust towards each other and they’re both fine with that then that’s fine but if someone feels lust for someone else and it’s one-sided then that can, and in most cases will, be extremely problematic as this episode and video perfectly explains.

  • @nezzylearns
    @nezzylearns 2 ปีที่แล้ว +29

    I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Your take on why lust can cause issues definitely rings true. From my experience lust can arise from miscommunication from your significant other or from being tired of being alone. In both instances love was always kinder. Lusting for money and fame has created a slew of issues from clout chasers to fake gurus. Self love and unconditional love for your partner helps strengthen you from falling into lustful temptations.

    During my first relationship, I realized I loved my boyfriend, but..just couldn't act in a sexual way with him, and despite my telling him his constant touches made me physically sick, he would continue to try to take things in a sexual way. I blame myself for not being what he wanted, because he wanted me to be his wife until old age hit us both. I gave all that I could, tried to change myself for him, but it wasn't enough. I was even looking up ways to "convert" myself into a sexual person for him before we broke up due to my flaws as a human being.

The entire point of sexual drive is to procreate because we cannot produce asexually. However you don’t necessarily need a sexual drive as all it is is a biological urge which leads to some conclusions:
      1) you can be in love but not sexually attracted to them
      2) just like you can be sexually attracted and not in love
      3) you never really “truly” loved them.

    The one thing I will complain about this video is that it treats sexual desire and love as two separate things that can never go together. When in reality they are both important and need to work together.
    Yes, it’s dangerous to get involved with people you only have sexual desire for but can’t rely on or grow with them. At the same time, if you care about someone but have no sexual desire for them, that will make for a marriage doomed to fail because your sexuality still exists.
    In other words, just one or the other is not good. Both are necessary for romance. Heck, sexual desire with someone who truly knows you and has seen you at your worst yet desires you all the more is the best form of sexuality in my opinion.

    This video converged with my current circumstances. It’s been a direct reflection of what I’ve been suffering, that is, a fantasy that will inevitably never suffice. Lust.
    I am convinced that noting our thoughts instils within us a sense of accountability. And thus, am keen to express the burdens of my own temptation.
    I’ve had an uncontrollable affection towards my neighbour, who as opposed to me, pays no attention to my presence. It is the intrinsic, primal sensations that fills the mind with thoughts and a yearning to belong. Under deep and strenuous meditation, the mind finally begins to formulate the unknown. Similarly to Homer, my heart has been corrupted by infatuation with someone I’ve only momentarily conversed with. I have truly fallen under this curse, and blame only my naive actions (viewing porn, video games, etc.) Modern media and society slowly embraces these shortcomings. And to that I condemn.
    3:22 Especially speaks volumes. Our innate human being fantasises and renders its own thoughts, it diverges from consciousness and truth, plummeting into a void of infatuation. My brain has short circuited it’s own narrative on my neighbour, insisting that she is the perfect, angelic figure that is to be praised. Everyday, I find myself stargazing from my windowsill awaiting for her to appear just for a moment and rejoice in the rush of dopamine. When she has left to run errands, I find myself in a deep sense of melancholy and convince myself that I am not loved. This is far from the truth and exemplifies this pandemic of obsession and lustful thought.
    As Homer, I have had thoughts of self harm, as I confront the reality that I will never be able to conjoin with my neighbour.
    3:45 is especially vital. It is commonplace to hear the phrase, “base your attractions not off of looks, but personality.” Yet, physique and facial features are the first characteristics that initially form out judgements.
    I do not know my neighbour, she does not know me. However, my mind has been so internally attached to the physical appeal that I have been “love struck” to the extent that I no longer consider reason. It’s imperative that we hold these meaningful social interactions to overcome the anxieties of this sin.

    In my opinion there’s nothing wrong with casual relationships, one night stands etc, as long as it’s consensual and nobody is getting cheated on.
    But I _really_ don’t agree with the idea that anyone struggling with problems should just get laid to “destress.” Especially not relationship problems like loneliness, a breakup, getting cheated on etc. That’s just as bad as telling them to drink their sadness. Using sex to temporarily escape from a bigger problem is unhealthy af.
    The same goes for toxic couples who are _only_ held together by the bedroom, usually because one of them has low self esteem. The whole “this is the best I’m gonna get” mentality. If that’s anyone here, I GUARANTEE you can get the same thing from plenty of other people who would make you happier!

      Regarding your first point, there are serious issues with treating sex as something casual.
      It is the way two bodies become one, and helps to bond the two closer together. On a biological level, a series of chemicals are released, the same chemicals as is released for parent child bonding. Casual sex causes you to repeatedly form and than break these bonds, causing long term harm.

    I’m living through my brother destroying his own life through this and it’s so fkin difficult to walk through. How do I help my own abuser? Sometimes I can’t but I’m always glad this is going to be out there to help truly engage in how to help
