Hi, SW. "Lust" is a normal human emotion. Evolutionary terms it is what is called a base emotion, or reptilian brain function that serves to drive human reproduction. An "Alter" is term used in DID to refer to the personalities that can take control of the body. Since DID is mostly found to result from extreme early childhood trauma, often sexual abuse,when we are not yet solidified as a singular sense of self. So we dont know how to cope w/ the trauma and we are helpless to defend ourselves against it... so our emotions become compartmentalized in the most extreme way. We split off the memories and emotions to the farest corners of our minds, where they act indiviualaly, instead of whole, to protect us, help us function, and keep us from having to relive or reexperience the intal trauma/s. Or something like that... hope that helps u understand better
