"Life is different for men and for women—men love to want, while women desire to be wanted. It is not as though men have a problem with lust and women do not. The two sexes actually have complementary problems with this sin." -- Douglas Wilson, The Seven Deadlies
Men love to want, while women desire to be wanted.
Men like to look, while women like to be looked at.
When a man takes a second glance at a scantily clad young lady on the cover of a magazine, he is giving into temptation... and she already has. The invitation to appear barely-clothed on the cover of the magazine proved too tempting for her to withstand.
Lust is a sin that affects people and it affects them as the kind of people God created them to be. This means, that if God made you a man, you are tempted to lust, but your temptations look differently than if you were a woman. To be more precise, for a man the “look” is at a woman whereas the woman “looks” to see a man looking back.
