The bottom line is... everyone's different.
A man/woman could have been brought up on the back side of the tracks & raised to love sex & become a sex addict.
Years later, He/she get's saved & grows into a very mature believer.
But... an addict is an addict. That person has a weakness they may have to fight the rest of their lives. A dopamine addiction.
All of us are somewhere between the addict & the near perfect christian. Because of these "differences", our reactions will be different.
Knowing that weaknesses abound, we shouldn't look "as if" we might be looking for the wrong reason, neither should we "show it off" as to get attention of the opposite sex because of possible weaknesses.
The one thing Jesus was always about was 'OTHERS'. Yet many christians act/walk as if there are no others or only people like themselves.
Some of us have weaknesses, some of us have thorns in our flesh.
"Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy".
