The doctrine of evolution doesn't discuss "lust" - see talk
Lust, in its most common expression, is the urge to initiate sexual intercourse with another person. It may also manifest as the urge to view [[pornography]].

According to [[evolution]]ist views, lust evolved by [[natural selection]] as an instinct to increase the number of offspring - as those individuals more prone to lust would have more children than those less lustful, over time the prevalence of lustful traits would increase.

According to [[Christian]] views, lust is a consequence of the separation of a person from [[God]] as a result of [[sin]], causing them to fall short of His standard. Some churches attribute lust to direct [[satan]]ic involvement, or advocate various means by which unwanted lust may be controlled.
