This post isn't done yet.

I'm thinking about porn and how that's a struggle for guys. (It's also a struggle for girls but for the sake of this example, I have to stick with this convention).
And how guys lust in general
And how sometimes there's a war going on inside a guy's mind to tell them to
stop
don't get out of bed
to keep hands still
to read the bible instead
to say verses out loud
to scream
And how this is a serious enough sin to ask others for counsel and accountability and prayer and stuff.
It's a battle they sometimes win, and sometimes lose.

So for a guy who just can't biologically/physically/emotionally/mentally turn off what's been turned on when he sees someone he's attracted to for whatever reason - how is a woman supposed to deal with this? How is a woman supposed to recognize the depths of men's wayward eyes and the adultery they commit with their hearts, and then to get over it?

I suppose the answer is the same as it is with any other kind of sin we find. Girls just have to realize they're not perfect and we don't have any more freedom to lust with our eyes as our brothers in Christ do. So forgive them for what they absolutely cannot control and accept the love you overwhelmingly deserve.

[insert an addendum about the battle between making a decision between you and God in your heart and the physical manifestation of that decision through actions that will impact other people].
