Lust
‘Whoever is steeped in lust, old age leaps upon him.’ (Shabbos 152a)
What could this mean? Your thoughts are welcomed!
I'm not yet sure what the commentaries say but I did have a thought about it. We live in a world of "real" consequences.
The consequences of eating too much chocolate is a stomach so full of chocolate that you feel sick. The consequences of a life filled with chasing lust, is a premature expending of life’s energies and hence an early onset of old age.
