Maybe he fulfills that desire but is not satisfied. That is why he needs to do it again and again. Moving to more and more depravity and decadence. Like money and power, it is never enough.

Yes, what he said.. :)

Who can imagine what Hell is truly like? The closest we can come I believe is addiction to sin.

That could well be too. I don't know. :) I can just imagine that on some level, we either are now or have in the past repeated the same sin over and over again, getting gratification, wanting more, etc., but being relatively comfortable in this arrangement. LOL! I know I have, and so I wouldn't compare that to hell, necessarily. If the desire is never gratified in hell in the first place, then it makes more sense to me. But I'm just guessing. :) So, I don't know if ALL sin absolutely leads to worse sin or not. But, now that I think about it, without God's restraining hand, perhaps it does.
