Lust is not only experienced by male seekers

[Seeker3]

I was disappointed to find a stereotypical viewpoint shared by some seekers on the lust topic on this forum. The viewpoint that lust is somehow majorly a male obstacle. For me as a female seeker on the path, this is something I have struggled with. This is not just a male problem, male and female is simpy a matter of form. What we carry in our impressions from other lifetimes in other bodies sticks to us, in whatever form we might be in this lifetime- male or female. I find the generalised stereotype that lust is simply a male challenge quite isolating and insulting to my experiences as a female seeker in this lifetime.

Glad you're here Seeker3. I could use some female company on this topic.

I never said that. People like sex and everybody is different. Anyways, welcome to the forum.

welcome! personally i welcome anything women in-tune with this energy stuff can contribute on the lustful side of our existence. it would definitely be beneficial to myself and other male forum members to get a wider perspective on these driving forces. the more we share this commonailty the easier it should become to come to peace with ourselves.

 

now i can't say whats already going on in the female sanctuary (though i fantasize about it daily) but would be great to see some stuff on the main boards. maybe as a balancing force to the abundance of semen retention, women scare me, want to suck my energy type threads. maybe you guys don't want to air out your dirty laundry as much as us, but if i could propose a 'lusty females' topic no only joking...or am i

You are right on the money, Wilfred.

 

When somebody is telling us about their wet dreams, masturbation issues, porn addiction etc, it's always a male, with almost only males replying. Where is the intercourse, um, interchange here?

Maybe females just need to speak up more. Somewhere around age 35 my inhibitions just packed up the car and drove off in the night, so I'm unusually unreserved about the topic. Might not always be a good thing I suppose. But it's not a topic that comes up unless someone brings it up, I guess, in a context that invites discussion. Given all the suffering our dear brothers are going through given some of the other threads in the forum, they'd probably be delighted to hear about ours. LOL.
