Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.51.51
"Having conquered the entire circle of directions and being thus free of conflict, a man sits on a splendid throne, receiving praise from leaders who were once his equals. But when he enters the women’s chambers, where sex pleasure is found, he is led about like a pet animal, O Lord." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/51/51
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.60.38
"You are the embodiment of all human goals and are Yourself the final aim of life. Desiring to attain You, O all-powerful Lord, intelligent persons abandon everything else. It is they who are worthy of Your association, not men and women absorbed in the pleasure and grief resulting from their mutual lust." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/60/38
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.60.48
"The mind of a promiscuous woman always hankers for new lovers, even if she is married. An intelligent man should not keep such an unchaste wife, for if he does he will lose his good fortune both in this life and the next." https://vedy.online/en/sb10/60/48
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 10.60.52

Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.8.7
"One who has failed to control his senses immediately feels attraction upon seeing a woman’s form, which is created by the illusory energy of the Supreme Lord. Indeed, when the woman speaks with enticing words, smiles coquettishly and moves her body sensuously, his mind is immediately captured, and thus he falls blindly into the darkness of material existence, just as the moth maddened by the fire rushes blindly into its flames." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/8/7
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.8.8
"A foolish person with no intelligent discrimination is immediately aroused at the sight of a lusty woman beautifully decorated with golden ornaments, fine clothing and other cosmetic features. Being eager for sense gratification, such a fool loses all intelligence and is destroyed just like the moth who rushes into the blazing fire." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/8/8
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.8.14
"A man possessing intelligent discrimination should not under any circumstances try to exploit the beautiful form of a woman for his sense gratification. Just as an elephant trying to enjoy a she-elephant is killed by other bull elephants also enjoying her company, one trying to enjoy a lady’s company can at any moment be killed by her other lovers who are stronger than he." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/8/14
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.8.31
"I am such a fool that I have given up the service of that person who, being eternally situated within my heart, is actually most dear to me. That most dear one is the Lord of the universe, who is the bestower of real love and happiness and the source of all prosperity. Although He is in my own heart, I have completely neglected Him. Instead I have ignorantly served insignificant men who can never satisfy my real desires and who have simply brought me unhappiness, fear, anxiety, lamentation and illusion." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/8/31
Śrīmad-Bhāgavatam 11.14.29-30
"Being conscious of the eternal self, one should give up association with women and those intimately associated with women. Sitting fearlessly in a solitary place, one should concentrate the mind on Me with great attention." "Of all kinds of suffering and bondage arising from various attachments, none is greater than the suffering and bondage arising from attachment to women and intimate contact with those attached to women." https://vedy.online/en/sb11/14/29 & https://vedy.online/en/sb11/14/30
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Ādi-līlā 4.165-166, 171
"The desire to gratify one’s own senses is kāma [lust], but the desire to please the senses of Lord Kṛṣṇa is prema [love]." "The object of lust is only the enjoyment of one’s own senses. But love caters to the enjoyment of Lord Kṛṣṇa, and thus it is very powerful." "Therefore lust and love are quite different. Lust is like dense darkness, but love is like the bright sun." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Ādi 4.165 & 166 & 171
Śrī Caitanya-caritāmṛta - Madhya-līlā 19.149
"“Because a devotee of Lord Kṛṣṇa is desireless, he is peaceful. Fruitive workers desire material enjoyment, jñānīs desire liberation, and yogīs desire material opulence; therefore they are all lusty and cannot be peaceful." Śrī caitanya-caritāmṛta Madhya 19.149
