NFP is nfp sinful, is it not a form of lust. How does it differ from other forms of contraception.
 
Do you actually know what NFP is? It doesn’t sound like you do.

It can be argued that it is the complete opposite to lust.

I suspect you’ve been reading extremist ideologies. NFP is legitimate and holy as long as the couple accept children lovingly from God. I don’t know how you are finding the lust part in it though?
 
I recommend the book “The Sinners Guide to NFP” by Simcha Fisher.

Only with grave (serious) reasons, can periodic continence be morally good.

Pope Pius XII said, in Allocation to Midwives, 1951:
The individual and society, the people and the State, the Church itself, depend for their existence, in the order established by God, on fruitful marriages. Therefore, to embrace the matrimonial state, to use continually the faculty proper to such a state and lawful only therein, and, at the same time, to avoid its primary duty without a grave reason, would be a sin against the very nature of married life.

Serious motives, such as those which not rarely arise from medical, eugenic, economic and social so-called “indications,” may exempt husband and wife from the obligatory, positive debt for a long period or even for the entire period of matrimonial life. From this it follows that the observance of the natural sterile periods may be lawful, from the moral viewpoint: and it is lawful in the conditions mentioned.

NFP is information a couple can use to decide whether to engage in or refrain from the marital embrace to either achieve or avoid pregnancy at any given time.

No it isn’t sinful. No it isn’t lust. I’m not sure where you’ve gotten this idea.

NFP is information, not contraception.

Contraception is an action taken before, during, or after intercourse to thwart its natural end.

With NFP, If you need to avoid, you refrain from the marital embrace rather than engage in it and disorder it.

The difference is in refraining rather than contracepting.
