Lust vs Love, don't get confused

[coachTanthony]

Love and lust are two different emotions or feelings that can sometimes be confused with each other, but they are distinct and have some key differences. Here are a few:

Intention: Love is often accompanied by feelings of affection, care, and commitment. It is a feeling that is focused on the well-being and happiness of the other person. Lust, on the other hand, is primarily motivated by sexual desire and attraction.

Duration: Love is a deep and enduring emotion that can last for a long time. Lust, on the other hand, is often more fleeting and may not last as long as love.

Prioritization: In love, the needs and feelings of the other person are often a priority. In lust, the primary focus is on satisfying one's own desires and needs.

Emotional connection: Love often involves a strong emotional connection and bond between two people. Lust, on the other hand, may not involve the same level of emotional connection or commitment and is only short term in it's thinking.

Expression: Love is often expressed through acts of kindness, affection, and support. Lust is often expressed through physical attraction and sexual behavior.

Obviously these are generalizations and just know people can experience love and lust in different ways. It's also possible to experience both love and lust for the same person at the same time. Not every encounter is the same and can be different for each individual.

In summary, love involves a deep emotional connection and a desire for a long-term relationship, while lust is focused on physical attraction and short-term pleasure.

Have you lusted over anyone and confused it with LOVE? Let me know below.

Thanks for this post. Always wanted to really understand the difference and I think you did a great job explaining it.

Let's see if they keep the same energy up this year.

Very good comparison between love and lust. Will the sequel talk about how lust can sometimes turn into love?

[Guy13]

Well said and i can not believe it is necessary to explain this to anyone over 20. there's not enough one-one in person interactions for this to be necessary.

I dated a girl for a while and it I really fell for her hard. Sometimes we just parked in my car and kissed for the whole evening and the next day I would wake up with some kind of weird hangover. I used to count the hours until I would see her again. After 3 weeks I drove her home after out date. We sat in the driveway and we kissed and I just blurted out that I was falling in love with her. She told me I was crazy. After a few months she went back with her old boyfriend and I didn;t know how I was going to survive. I was going through a really shitty time in my life and she was the only good thing I had in my life. I look back on this and realize that it was not really love at all.

Bet you this subject has been discussed 500 times since I've been here. Whups, now 501. I doubt anyone gives a hoot if it is lust or love when they have feelings for someone. If they did you wouldn't be seeing all these breakup/divorce questions, so many it has it's own category.

[coachTanthony]

Oh no let me see if GAG will remove this then.

[SirDeTrall]

@coachTanthony they obviously won't, since you run the place and call the shots here and decide what posts will be taken down

@sirdetrall don’t be silly 😜

When I was in high school, my classmate dreamed of having sex with our history teacher. Back then, her daughter was our age, so the teacher was no intern in her early twenties.


He never got the balls to make his move. Now 20 yesrs later, he still wished he had a chance to bang her. Me and our mutual friend from the same class still make fun of him for his dream of having sex with our teacher.


But then again, weather it was just lust mixed with ego, or real feelings for her, we will never truly know. But we will make fun of our friend who is a father and a husband now while his high school lust target is an old grandmother, retired teacher.


The difference between love and lust is hard to tell.

I always say "not to confuse infatuation with love"... people really get those two confused. Lust for me is the same way I feel about a hot hooker. It would be really hard to confuse the way I treat a hooker with love.

Infatuation - an intense but short-lived passion or admiration for someone or something. <--That's how google defines it.

You can see how a lot of short-lived marriages started from that kind of stuff. Enough time goes by and the masks slip, and they actually get to know the "real" person each other is... then it's a shit show. 😂

It's supposed to be the stuff that the dating phase is supposed to vet for. But if that phase is overly formalized, and pretty much just a show... it doesn't do shit for them. It's what makes me say people should be required to live together for at least a year before they're even allowed to consider marriage.

[D_Bone_Steak]

For some reason, I was brought back to this post... I still stand by my words here. The formal part really should be living together for a year... but with shit like just living together can end up with a man paying... can you blame a man for just bowing out? I mean damn... I could just let a chick move in that I'm not fucking or even involved with and she can still take half my shit. For every woman that wonders where the good guys have gone... I'm pointing at the government and you women for what you've created and giving clear reasons why a man should just avoid dealing with you.

The difference is true. But what do you do if you love a person but can't have lustful sex with her? So there is no lust and in the end you have tried to satisfy her but she realizes one day that there is no lust or sexual desire towards her and she is hurted though.

[coachTanthony]

Are you capable of lustful sex with anyone?

[PainusNdeeAnus]

I’m not surprised people don’t know the difference

love and lust

when they don’t know the difference between

a job and a career

[Darkholler]

Well my wife has been cuckolding me for 8 years now. Does she love me or just the lust of constantly cuckolding me?

[coachTanthony]

You have to love being cuckolded to even mention it you know.

[Darkholler]

Of course I love it. But I sometimes wonder if she loves me or love's our arrangement

[zayndan]

She loves herself and seeks her pleasure by cuckolding you.

[Sasha0426]

Definitely never fell in love with anyone. Infatuation and lust? Yes.

[Darkholler]

If you knew my wife u would see why she's infatuated over

[Anonymous]

The people who confuse it, are just making excuses.

[Shark_61695]

I believe in lust at first sight.

You so right they are night and day

Love is a false feeling.
