Kant implicitly acknowledged the unusual power of sexual urges and their capacity to divert us from doing what is right. He claimed that sex was particularly morally condemnable, because lust focuses on the body, not the agency, of those we sexually desire, and so reduces them to mere things. check this out: https://courses.edx.org/c4x/HarvardX/ER22.1x/asset/Chapter_5_-_Immanuel_Kant__129-139_.pdf
