Can you lust after animation and is it a sin?

[Ikon]

If you get turned on by someone in a comic book, it a game, where ever, where the character is animated, not a real person, is imagining that person sexually lust? Is it a sin?

I am asking seriously, as a mature Christian, who truly wants to know what others think and believe...

Thank you...

JS: I can be. Lust is lust however its triggered. Still this could also be a sign of metal illness or an inability in separating oneself from fantasy. You might want to speak with someone you trust on this to get help figuring which is the case.

It's entirely possible to be 'turned on' by this because what we're really talking about is the mind going into a fantasy. Just as how people can be excited by erotic literature, people are excited by drawn or cartoon depictions; the mind automatically fills the gaps.

The same essential process is happening when you watch any kind of smut.

Now... Being turned on is not a sin. If you walk into the wrong room and a beautiful person is nude and you cannot help but feel excited by what you see, you haven't done anything wrong; you were exposed to something, and how you feel popped up.

But, it is a sin to actively seek out sexual depictions and indulge in your fantasies about them. This is the issue of lusting. And, if you commit adultery in your heart, it is not different from doing it in the flesh.

It may seem very hopeless to be able to overcome these things, but this is why most people ought to get married. Others, though, can do their best to walk a more excellent past, and I assure you, this is a great commitment which requires a lot of effort to overcome lust.

Regardless... The struggle against lust is lifelong. ^^ But with God's grace and tenacity, you can overcome it to a good degree!
