You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 3.236.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪ST47‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a web host's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and they should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 06:21, 30 September 2026.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

"'''A Question of Lust'''" is a song by the English [[electronic music]] band [[Depeche Mode]] from their fifth studio album, ''[[Black Celebration]]'' (1986). It was released on 14 April 1986 as the album's second single.

It is the second Depeche Mode single with [[Martin Gore]] on lead vocals, following "[[Blasphemous Rumours / Somebody|Somebody]]", and the first to be released in its own right. However, the 12" single was released as a double A-side with "[[A Question of Time]]" in the United States, like "Somebody".

The single reached number 28 in United Kingdom and number eight in [[West Germany]].

== B-sides ==
The B-side is an instrumental called "Christmas Island", named after the [[Christmas Island|island]] of the same name. It is penned by both Martin Gore and [[Alan Wilder]] and was produced by Depeche Mode themselves. The song was featured in the end credits for the second episode of the [[Disney+]] series, ''[[Hawkeye (miniseries)|Hawkeye]]''.

The live tracks available on some versions of the single are taken from a 1984 concert in [[Basel]], Switzerland.

== Music video ==
The music video for "A Question of Lust" features the return of director Clive Richardson for his last video with the band. It also became the last music video the band filmed before the arrival of Dutch director [[Anton Corbijn]], who, since August 1986, became a regular collaborator for the band until the mid-2010s.<ref>((cite web |url=http://depechemodebiographie.de/ebio1986.php|title=1986 |publisher=depechemodebiographie.de|access-date=7 November 2016))</ref>

== Track listings ==
All songs written by [[Martin L. Gore]], except "Christmas Island" written by Gore and [[Alan Wilder]] and "If You Want" written by Wilder.
