mzx asked:

Hello, i saw that when discussing hirhur avera you mentioned rav moshe explains that lo sauru means not to think of the act of znus, (a teshuva which i have actually seen), i have also seen others explain it like this (and it can therefore lead to arayos). but i have also seen something along with that of going after taavot or something which i do not completely understand, but it gives me the impression that even things that are mutter are actually a forbidden in a certain snse(which doesnt make much sense to me), (also i think i remember rabbenu yona in shaarie teshua discussing things that are mutar and being indulged in them or something like that, and while he is against it, not because of this issue), so if you could please clarify (also because Rav moshe seems to be the explanation hat works well with the gamara itself

The Kollel replies:

Rav Moshe is indeed an oft-used approach to explain the Sugya. The other opinion you were referring to seems to be the Rambam in Sefer Hamitzvos (Mitzvas Lo Sasei #47). He seems to say that delving into physical pleasures, whether through actions or thoughts, is forbidden due to "Lo Sasuru."

All the best,

Yaakov Montrose
