Just because someone feels sexually aroused does that make it lust?

Getting hungry and enjoying food is not lustful. Over indulging glutinously that is when it becomes lustful.

I could make a similar argument about masturbation. In the absence of a functional marriage relationship, enjoying a private orgasm once in a while is just satisfying a God created hunger. Sure if you are over doing it or using porn or fantasizing about a specific individual you could call that lustful.

But if you want to call masturbation lust per se... then I challenge you to support your position from Scripture. Cause I don't see "Doing yourself is abusing the literal gift of sex" anywhere in Scripture.
