Got it Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 The definitions you shared have multiple meanings. Look at them all. Some of their meanings match your definition, others are closer to mine. Words are important, but more so is the meaning attached. Words are nothing without meaning. Meanings can be subjective to the user. Take the word ni**er. To many its extremely derogatory and a reminder of injustice, inequality, and dark days. To others, its a word that has been transformed to an endearment. Also, the word "bitch." It has multiple meanings, which are ever changing. The media even portrays the word "bitch" on television meaning very different things. The meanings of words are not unchangeable and often do take on new meanings over time. I don't know enough about your relationship to know if the porn use is something that would fall under my definition of lust. You haven't really shared anything that leads me to think its good or bad. Pretty vague story. As long as you're happy with your partner and feeling good about your relationship thats all that matters at the end of the day. My meanings will stay as they stand. Because it doesn't define our relationship or us. Porn is no different, in our relationship, than using a vibrator. It is a vehicle for sexual gratification, nothing more nothing less. And neither one of us attaches emotional strings to it to increase its importance. Porn is an inanimate object. Porn use is utilized/tied to both lust and passion as they are synonymous words. So yes porn use in our relationship is both passion and lust. Link to post Share on other sites
William Posted July 25, 2012 Share Posted July 25, 2012 I just saw a lot of porn highlighted in pink. There's a stickied thread running about porn and its place and effects in relationships. That's a great place to discuss it, which is why I created it. This thread is about lust destroying love. Link to post Share on other sites
