The Vietnamese word "dâm dục" refers to concepts related to lust and lewdness. It describes a strong desire for sexual pleasure or indulgence, often in a way that is considered inappropriate or excessive. This term can carry a negative connotation, suggesting a lack of restraint or moral judgment regarding sexual behavior.
Cô ấy bị chỉ trích vì những hành động dâm dục trong bữa tiệc.
(She was criticized for her lewd behavior at the party.)
Nhiều người cho rằng phim có nội dung dâm dục không phù hợp cho trẻ em.
(Many people believe that movies with sexual content are not suitable for children.)
In more advanced discussions, "dâm dục" can be contrasted with words that denote healthy sexual expression or intimacy. It can also be used in philosophical or psychological contexts when discussing the nature of human desires and morality.
While "dâm dục" primarily refers to sexual lust or lewdness, it can sometimes be used more broadly to describe any kind of indulgent behavior that lacks restraint, not just related to sexuality.
