Why would God create men with such high sex drives?

She is a Jiuhu bu
I find her sexy
Educated
India and China have billions of people. Surely, there will be good and nice people.

There will also be lots of rubbish people and given their population size, the number of motherfuckers who make it into negative social media is big in relative terms...
 
I'm not referring to married men or physical adultery—that's a separate conversation.

What troubles me is Jesus raising the standard so high: he taught that if a man even looks at a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart.

Yet this feels profoundly difficult to reconcile with human nature.

If God created men with significantly stronger libidos than women, why would Jesus set an expectation that seems almost impossible for most men to meet?

Why design some women to be strikingly beautiful—and create both sexes to be powerfully drawn to physical attractiveness—only to then equate natural attraction and fantasy with sin?

To me, it feels like setting someone up for failure.

It's analogous to taking a child with an intense craving for food to an incredible pizza buffet and then telling him he can only eat a plain salad. Any slip, and the consequence is permanent.

Why create men with such strong sexual drives, wired to notice and desire beauty, and then command them not to even fantasize or linger in those thoughts?

It raises the question of whether the rules were designed in a way that makes stumbling almost inevitable from the start.
God did not create man.

Did Jesus really say if a man even looks at a woman with lust, he has already committed adultery with her in his heart, better to pluck out eyes, etc? Or was it inserted into the bible by zealots?

Canonical Gospels are Rome approved text, and in it, Jesus is celibate. in order to maintain consistency with their story that Jesus is man-god. But Jesus was a hot blooded male with urges, surely he had wives and lovers, fucked a pussies, sucked and fondled a few titties. :biggrin:
 
Same. Men are born like that
I would say that physiological needs originated as biological functions; however, their satisfaction is accompanied by sensual pleasure. Consequently, beyond serving biological survival, this pleasure enriches human experience by giving it an experiential dimension of meaning. Sex, for example, serves the biological function of reproduction, yet it is also a profound source of sensual pleasure.

From the Creator's perspective, however, sensual pleasure is neither the governing principle nor the ultimate end of sexuality. If this is true even for animals, it is all the more true for human beings, who are created in the image and likeness of God. However, the Fall described in Genesis marked humanity's departure from its original harmony with God, resulting in a diminished state of consciousness in which human beings no longer perceive and order reality as God intends.

Unlike the rest of the animal kingdom, which acts according to biological instinct, humanity was given divine laws to guide its conduct and to remind it of its unique vocation as beings created in the image and likeness of God. When biological instincts are no longer governed by higher reason and divine order, they become disordered and descend into lust and violence.

If one is sufficiently disciplined to still the mind and observe carefully, it becomes possible to discern the precise point at which a biological function moves beyond necessity and enters the realm of desire - the point at which one seeks more of the same experience from the same source. From there, desire can further transgress into lust, where the pursuit expands into the craving for more of the same experience from different sources.:sneaky:

For a person whose consciousness has become conditioned by lust, it may seem inconceivable that a man could behold a sexually attractive woman without being drawn into lustful desire. The progression from function to need, from need to desire, and from desire to lust represents a descent into a fallen state in which a legitimate need degenerates an overriding desire, ceasing to serve its proper purpose and instead taking control of the person. Even without an outward act or physical gaze, such a person remains inwardly captive to lust.

The absence of an external act of adultery does not necessarily indicate that the inner condition of lust has been overcome because the disorder begins within the heart before it manifests in outward action. The Pharisees emphasized the condemnation of the external act of adultery and sought righteousness through outward observance, but Jesus revealed that the deeper issue lies in the condition of the heart, where lust itself takes root.

Therefore, blaming God for setting mankind up to fail is equivalent to accusing Him of creating lust itself, rather than recognizing lust as a distortion of what was originally created with a proper purpose.

PS. Only applicable if one accepts the underlying premises of a Creator, the Genesis account, and humanity's fallen state. :geek::biggrin:
