Hello!
I think that from all of the mortal sins, the one I can't resist is lust. It doesn't necessarily means that I act lustful, but it's on my mind and it's driving me crazy. It's not that I'm addicted to sex or pornography, I can have an almost "pure" mind for weeks or even months, but at some point, I'll decide to sin. I feel so horrible.
But I don't know how or why I have these thoughts. I mean, I've watched porn a few time ago and it was so funny and gross, it was like watching Jackass. I'm not even interested on Fifty Shades of Grey. The "celebrities" I find attractive are people who I barely see pictures of them shirtless or doing perverted things (Brandon Flowers, I think he's super handsome). I've seen some bizarre situations right in front of me, but it was just funny, like kids when they see people naked, it's either gross or funny lol. But I met a guy a few weeks ago, I love cuddling with him, and I surely want more than it, but having dirty thoughts about him wouldn't help, it would actually be a turn off.
But sometimes my body feels very vulnerable, and the more I try to deny it, the worse it gets. And the problem is that I don't feel comfortable at confessing these things to a priest, but I do confess when I'm praying. I'm even ashamed of telling here how I commit this sin, but I can tell you that it's lust.
How should I handle this problem? Do you guys think it's possible for an ordinary person (not a Sacerdotal life) to have a fully chaste body and mind these days?
