Lust is understating the issue, I believe. Taken in context with the desire to be Mayor, Military General, Chief Justice, President of the US, as well as Prophet, Seer, and Revelator, this area sexual conquest is only part of the larger narcissistic tendency. People who abuse women in that way are rarely acting just on sexual desire. My opinion as a non-believer.
