Which principle of Lust states that lust despises and rejects its victim after getting what it wants?

• A. 1st Principle of Lust
• B. 4th Principle of Lust
• C. 2nd Principle of Lust
• D. 5th Principle of Lust

Answer: (B)

The concept being tested is how lust behaves in stages, particularly what happens after it satisfies its desire. In this framework, lust moves from seeking and pursuing to gratifying itself, and then, as a defining feature, it despises and rejects the person it used once its need is met. That post-gratification rejection is what the statement describes, making it the best fit for the principle that comes later in the sequence. The other stages describe earlier moves like pursuit or manipulation, not the bitter discard that follows fulfillment, so they don’t align with the described behavior as directly. This helps explain why the principle in question emphasizes contempt and rejection after gratification.
