Let's Discuss... LUST: 7 deadly sins

Lust is intense, overwhelming desire for sexual activity or pleasure, so strong it slips past reason's control. Lust is different from passion in that appetite rules the will, not the other way around. Is shame about lust protecting us, or just controlling us? Can lust be moral if no one gets hurt? Is the will ever truly "free" while appetite is pulling the strings? (One of the 7 deadly sins.)
