Introduction

Lust and love are both powerful feelings that can sweep you off your feet. However, they’re also two very different emotions. Lust is a strong desire for sexual intimacy with another person, while love is an intense feeling of attachment and affection. Both lust and love can make you feel like your life is more exciting with the other person in it, but lust can lead to jealousy or anger when things don’t go as planned. If you find yourself confused about whether what you’re experiencing is love or lust, it helps to know the differences between these two powerful emotions:

Lust can make a person so obsessed with having sex that it interferes with their daily life.

Lust is a feeling of desire for someone. Lust can make you feel like you have a strong connection to that person and want to be with them as much as possible.

Lust can also make people feel jealous, insecure, or angry when they think about this person having sex with other people.

Some people associate lust with love because they feel so strongly about another person when they are in lust with them. Lust makes people feel good and gives them hope that there is something special between themselves and the other person that will last forever!

Love is a calm and deep feeling that makes you feel close to the one you love.

We’re all familiar with the word “love”, and we all have our own personal definitions of it. But how many of us truly understand the depth of meaning behind this mysterious word? Love is a feeling of attachment to another person, but it also involves feelings such as affection, closeness and intimacy. You might think you know what love feels like when you experience it, but if you think about it for a moment longer than that — does your definition really fit all aspects?

For instance: Do you love someone because they make you feel good about yourself? Or do you care about them so much that nothing else matters except their happiness? Does falling in love mean giving up on yourself entirely in order to please another person or does loving someone come from within—a place where both parties share similar values and beliefs; where trust has been established firmly enough for both individuals to give themselves completely over into each other’s hands without fear of being let down later on down the road when things get tough (which they inevitably will). We don’t know exactly how long true love lasts or why people fall out of favor with each other over time; however we do know one thing: There are two types – one kind makes us happy while another kind makes us sad.”

Lust often involves fantasizing about someone, whereas love is about knowing who someone is.

Love involves getting to know someone, not just fantasizing about them. A lustful relationship may involve a lot of fantasy and imagination but not much reality. When you are in love with someone, you can see past the surface beauty to their character and personality, which might be different than the person they appear to be on the outside—and that’s OK! But if you’re only interested in how attractive they look or how great it would feel to spend time with them physically, then your feelings are probably more lust than love.

Love makes people feel good, whereas lust can make you feel jealous, insecure, or angry. Lust can make you feel like you have a strong connection to another person, but it isn’t often a lasting or real connection. Lust is strong physical desire that doesn’t last long and often turns into love if it’s allowed to develop into something more meaningful.

Lust can make you feel like you have a strong connection to another person, but it isn’t often a lasting or real connection.

When you’re in lust, you think about the other person constantly. It’s a strong physical attraction that makes you feel like there’s a strong connection between the two of you. But love is about the relationship—it’s about being together and building something together long-term. Lust is more about having passionate sex with someone when they’re not around, or spending lots of time thinking about them when they aren’t around (or at least when they’re not physically present).

Love is less intense than lust, but it also lasts longer and has more staying power!

You crave intimacy in love, but in lust you crave sexuality.

So what is it that you crave when you’re in love? Is it sex, or intimacy?

As a general rule, lust is about sex and love is about intimacy. Intimacy means being close to someone in a deep way—not just physically but emotionally and mentally as well. It’s about sharing your feelings and thoughts with each other. It’s about feeling safe with this person, knowing that they will accept whatever comes out of your mouth without judgment or criticism (especially when there are things you don’t want others to know). To be intimate with someone means feeling vulnerable because of all these things—but also because of the trustworthiness of the relationship itself; if you don’t trust someone enough to be completely honest with them, then why would they deserve any kind of intimacy from you?

In lust you want your partner to change, but in love you accept your partner as they are.

  • In lust you want your partner to change, but in love you accept your partner as they are.
  • Acceptance is a key part of love. You can’t change someone, but you can change yourself.
  • When you’re in love, it’s easy to be yourself because your partner accepts who you are and doesn’t try to change you or make you into something else.

Lust and love can be distinguished by the feelings they produce and how they affect behavior.

Lust and love can be distinguished by the feelings they produce and how they affect behavior. Lust is a feeling of desire for another person, whereas love is a feeling of affection for another person (1). Lust can make you obsessed with someone, but it isn’t always a good thing. On the other hand, when you’re in love with someone, your relationship will probably be more stable and healthy over time.

Conclusion

Love and lust are very different, but they can be hard to tell apart. If you think you’re in love and that feeling is followed by a strong desire for sexual intimacy, it may be lust instead. If your feelings are more than just physical attraction and if they make you feel good about yourself or happy when around someone else, it could be true love! But if there’s any doubt at all in your mind then it’s probably not worth taking any risks – especially when we’re talking about matters as important as these.
