Temptation is often used in sexual references, usually about wanting somebody, normally an affair type situation, a bit off limits. But it just sounds a bit cheesy. Especially as the book I'm reading at the moment has a lapdancer called Temptation, and a porno we all watched at uni once had a porn star slash really bad actress called Temptation. This makes it tacky.
Who ever even uses that word? I normally hear my mother say it every once in a while whilst staring at a doughnut..."Oooh I'm tempted" or if you offer a night out to somebody who has work at 9am.."Oh that's sooooooooooooooooo tempting"
Again, what exactly is so tempting but not allowed? Surely eat the doughnut, go on the night out. It's not illegal. Being tempted by something is like being coaxed in the wrong direction, but there's nothing wrong with either of those scenarios.
Except a bit of murder, obviously. You can't really say "Sorry, I was just really tempted"
Basically, I just think it's a bit mysterious. Apparently if you're tempted it will lead you inevitably to an act that will lead you to feel guilty. You'll have a lack of self control throught the completion of the tempting act. However bad. It also makes things seem more attractive if you're tempted by it.
You should be tempted. Life is too short. And if you are tempted then you probably shouldn't do it, according to society. So it's better to never be tempted? Wrong. Then you'd just be really boring. People like being drawn to things, because although people think they're all really amazing and cool, if you never felt attracted to anything, or allured by something then what would there be to do?
If food didn't take your fancy? Or you weren't enticed to want to talk to people? Or had no desire to work?
Exactly. So for now just remain tempted by things, I guess.
For now, here's a girl who I think is looking pretty tempting. Apparently.
