Prurient
To be prurient is having, inclined to have, or characterized by lascivious or lustful thoughts, desires, etc.
Job made a covenant with his eyes to avoid prurience.
"I have made a covenant with my eyes;/How then could I gaze at a virgin?
(Job 31:1, NASB)
Stephen Arterburn (b. 1953) features this passage in his book Every Man’s Battle: Winning the War on Sexual Temptation One Victory at a Time (pages 125-126).
