  • I think by definition love and lust are completely different. Lust really only boils down to a sexual and physical attraction. It's a temporary feeling, one that wants sexual contact. Love is far deeper than that. Love is being emotionally connected beyond just the sexual or the physical. The beautiful thing in being in a relationship is that it encompasses everything and is more long lasting. I googled this question out of curiosity to better understand and there's some great articles that explain what the differences are. If you want some really in depth articles Google Love vs Lust.

  • Interesting question.
    I'd say lust is indeed a form of love, as, lust is an intense desire for something, which definitely can be seen as ''love for something''. Lust and love definitely shouldn't be put in the same context tho, as love is indeed something more important and genuine.

  • in a way yes, I love MFM, its sexual lust for me, but not like the love I have for my husband

  • Not really. Lust is about someone else’s body rather than their actual soul. That’s not love.

  • It depends who you are:

    🧠 #1: To Be or Not To Be… Every Effect, such as Lust, must have a Cause and seemingly love is a First Cause.

    The question again please.. 🚼. 🍆. 👨

  • Just to you, the other person really doesn’t get the full effect of your emotions.

  • Many emotions go hand in with each other.

    Jealousy and anger.

    Sadness and grief.

    And many more

    Lust and love.

    can't have one without the other. And at that point, I don;t see why people demonize lust so much, humans gotta come from somewhere and it be pretty hard for some one too mentally prepare them self for sex without it. Yes it is primal, insticitive, animalistic. But it needs to happen or bye bye humans.

  • I think that it's the other way around, I think that aromantic asexuals are true asexuals.

  • Lust is lust & love is love however lust can lead to love.

  • No I don't see lust as love, I do see it as a temporary infatuation though.

  • No its not as its based on the pleasure u get from fulfilling it

  • Nope. It can however be an expression of love.

  • Nope. Lust is hormone driven. Love requires a relationship and substance.

  • I do not think so but I can see how you could get confused.

  • No it’s a form of attraction though.

  • Lust and love are different, but, they aren't mutually exclusive.

    I see 4 possibilities.

    1. One may love someone, but at the same time they may lust after them as well.
    2. one may lust after someone but not love them
    3. one may love someone, but not lust after them.
    4. one may neither love or lust after someone.

  • Lust has absolutely NOTHING in common with LOVE. Those others are misguided.

  • Sort of... I mean if you fancey/love someone... 99.9 percent of the time you will wanna bang them too.. unless A-sexual. ... So fanceying someone always has some lust mixed in with you fanceying them... Unless you only wanna bang them and jus view them as an object to fuck... But that's rare. For me anyway...

    • So yeah they sort of intertwine with each other

  • If lust were a form of love, no one would ever regret any sexual encounter and victims of child molestation would be happy about being molested.

  • No, not when romantic love is absent. But I do think lust for someone you genuinely love can be love.

  • No. I think it’s pure animalistic and pure selfishness.

  • Lust in terms of sleeping around, no.

  • Number one lust doesn't last for ever it never has an never will so yes I do but it doesn't last but lust can turn into love it has happen to me a few time's.
    God Bless

  • Yes, it is!
