The difference between the body language of lust and love?

[Anonymous]

I was asked recently by a guy, 'if you couldn't communicate your feelings for someone with words (ie. in a noisy club) would you be able to tell the difference between love and lust'.

After thinking about it I had to say that I don't think I would. Wouldn't the body language be pretty much the same for both?!

Hi Dear...love is some thing where each and every moment of love making is enjoyes by you both partners...even to some times little bit physical pain si there but its majorly both patners like it and enjoy well...where ar lust is some thing where one person forced his need of sex to the other person...it mainly forcefully and individual interest. When a person have lust ...he look towards the sexual parts or other parts as tools to playing...his sometimes he stares towards other person with cheap eye site...or he looks in cheap manner.

If you've been with the person for long enough then you can talk about love. Other than that, it's lust. How is the touch different? Your choices of how/where/what to touch and *why* is the revealing part. Eye contact and what you say through your eyes very much plays a part.

When you want to jump someone's bones, you'll make different choices as to how you touch. When you want to show love, as in support, appreciation, acceptance, you'll touch someone altogether differently.

Not necessarily. My fiance holds my hands or will put his arm around my waist when I'm next to him. To me lust would be more of two people all over each other and flirting whereas love is more intimate and less sexual. That's just my opinion. I would never hold a guys hand if I didn't love him nor would I kiss him (I'm weird like that).

Could you count that as body language though, I'm sure she means body language like the touching of hair and mouths etc... but you are right that they kinda define those too, but maybe when put into play?

Yes it can actually. Here's a link to prove it (I looked it up just to make sure I wasn't in the wrong).

Body language is communication non-verbally: This includes, hugging, standing, eyes, smiles, how we touch the other person and how we touch ourselves.

Similar, certainly, since lust is an element of love. Love would probably be somewhat more conservative though.

yes we can tell the difference. having sex and making love are different thing. love is more passionate. sex can be wild. and shlei3 is correct on her answer.
