Lust Activities

Choose one of the following activities, do it, and write a 300-400-word reflection paper on It making sure that your reflection includes discussion of the vice

 (if you do an activity that shows up again, you must choose a different activity)

1.    For 72 hours, keep track of every advertisement (in any medium) that uses any form of sex appeal.  Note whether any of the ads catch your attention and why.  Note whether the pleasures associated with lust are part of your reaction to any ads. 

2.    For 72 hours, keep track of every time you notice someone sexually.  In other words, document each time you take note of someone in a sexual way (they look attractive, you notice particular parts of their body, etc).  Note how often this happens, what your thoughts and feelings are at the time, what the circumstances are when this happens (are you tired, hungry, frustrated, bored, stressed, etc?).  Note also whether heartache, longing, rejection, betrayal, revenge or any other negative emotion accompanies these moments. 

3.    For 72 hours, consciously attempt to see every person of the gender you are sexually attracted to as either a brother, father, or uncle, or as a sister, mother, or aunt.  Some of you may need to constantly remind yourself to do this.  You may also, more simply, attempt to see every person, regardless of gender as your neighbor. 

4.    For those of your struggling with pornography and masturbation, for 72 hours, note every time you are tempted either to view pornography and/or masturbate.  Keep track of the circumstance and your own state of mind at the time.  Try to write these things down prior to viewing pornography and/or masturbating.
