The aspect that interested me was that lust could be directed at a particular person - potentially indicating that some intelligent direction or purpose was behind the impulse.
I would put forward the idea that lust manifests itself from some thought (from a being perhaps as a temptation) on the inner plains which then is interpreted and experienced in human consciousness. The thought is either accepted or disregarded.

I think the vast majority of people experiencing lust would not see the thought at a high enough level in their consciousness to be able to easily accept or disregard it, if they wanted to.
Does your concept of a thought include emotional content as well?

Lust is cumulative, like a battery charging up. Other weaknesses compound the process, for example, hopelessness or despair can weaken the being to become more vulnerable to the accumulation of lust, this ties into the greater pattern of lust as one of bondage.

Reading that I imagine someone who is given basic instructions on how to drive and is then handed a Ferrari F70, after 2 laps the tyres are shredded and the engine's on fire. A little knowledge can be a dangerous thing.

I just received an email saying a thread I had contributed to had been added to. It turned out to be this one. In rereading my comment I am struck by how much more insightful I was in 2015 than I am now. Today it seems to me throughout history wise men have commented that the human consciousness exists in four distinct worlds. In my religion these are called the Spiritual, Physical, Mental, Emotional. It seems to me when we are in balance each of these worlds supplies me with it’s own kind of reward. Lust seems to occur when I am out of balance and start demanding that one of these aspects of my reality supplies me with and excess of reward because I am not getting enough reward from one of the other areas.
It will be interesting to see who still reads my comments.

Reading them for sure but many on here observing and not commenting. Don't let it discourage you either way. It is good to know you have progressed so well! Reflection of our growth is often needed.
