Lust means desire to enjoy sensual pleasures of this world, not only sex but everything. Lusty person always thinks how this thing or that person can satisfy his senses, enjoyment is his prime goal of life and he can do anything for that. This uncontrolled enjoyment tendency present in heart is cause of practically all the problems that world is facing today, may that be corruption or rapes or terrorism.
Nature of the lust is that it never gets satiated, more you try to satisfy the lust the more it becomes just like fire increases by pouring more fuel. You can observe the example of Ravana, the personification of lust, he had already kidnapped many thousands of queens and princess from different parts of universe including nagas, gandharvas and devas but still he wanted to enjoy Mother Sita, the consort of Lord Ram. Lust only induces living entities entanglement in this world, lust destroys the intelligence which is required for liberation.
Actually living entity as a part and parcel of Lord has always an attraction for His service but tendency to enjoy(lust) cover ups his service attitude towards God, just like magnet always attracts the iron filings to it but if the iron filing are covered with dust or rust then it won't get attracted towards powerful magnet. So if we want to again get engaged in service of lord then we must remove this rust of lust.
To control lust is not easy thing, just like Ravana couldn't be overpowered by earthly kings and even demigods, To kill the Ravana Lord Himself appeared in the Human form. Similarly we can't destroy lust within our heart by ourselves we need to take shelter of Lord, then lord by His powers will destroy the demon of lust from our heart. To access the lord in this age of Kali is very simple, we just need to chant His holynames sincerely which is all powerful and supremely pure as He is, history tells us the example of great Saint Tukaram, once while he was chanting in solitude a prostitute tried to allure him and break his sadhana but he could overcome the desires easily by the strength of God's name and in turn made prostitute great devotee of lord. So in conclusion we can't clean the dust of lust but we need to take shelter of the God in the form of his holyname to get rid of this evil vice of heart.
