Can love turn into lust?

[Anonymous]

If you’re already in love with someone, can the love turn into lust only? Or does the love only deepen and intensity the lust?

[EpicIrishman]

Yes, it can. When the problems within a relationship grow to outweigh the passions and love that love can disappear and two people may stay for the sex.
A year or so ago I had a girlfriend and we were very much in love. We had problems, but we were working through them all. Finally, it came up that we both had very different ideas of our future and they weren't compatible. Instead of being mature and ending it there where we still could have been friends, we stayed together for the sex. (It was great, okay?) By the time we finally did end it we couldn't stand the sight of each other and haven't spoken since.
This is just one example. It is very possible that love can deepen and strengthen, sometimes even through the lustful parts. My own mother has told me more than once that sex is has saved my parents relationship. There are no black and white rules to any of this. We all just do the best we can.

You're asking if the love may cease, leaving only the lust.

Love cannot turn into lust. Lust is a temporary feeling by one towards another and does not last long. Love and lust are different phenomena that may coincidence and, indeed, acts of lust will often create love, but love cannot influence lust.

Yes it can. It allways means you are cheatin on , you do not want to know it and put it as a thought away but you know better.
You are simply used and you know it. it is time to stop the relation ship since you are manipulated. you are lonely and want not to be lonely so you doubt to go but you will further be manipulated. it happened to many.
it is being lonely and manipulated etc..
the best thing is to know what nobody tells you is to go away and you get over it real quick and you are no more the one that is played with.

Well I think what you mean is. If a couple does get along so well but they stay together the relationship can lose love and be only about sex/lust. For the other way around. If you do love someone and you both get along really well after the honeymoon phase is gone love can stay strong. But the term lust literally means craving for sex without loving the person.

Love can turn into lust only if you don't have any positive balance because love is not only sex. Love can have a deep effect that can intense your sexual pleasure which is fine but always have positive balance.

Not all love is forever so one day the person yo might be with might not love you but still want to fuck you.

Well when your army is razing Troja to ground it's love. Everything else is a minor flirt.

According to my opinion Love never turn into lust. If it did it means that we missunderstood impactuation as love.

According to me love can never turn into lust if it turns then its not at all love

They're two completely different things, so no.

How long has this relationship been going on?

[Asker]

5 almost 6 months. We didn’t have sex until 2/3 months in. And we only had sex twice, but now it’s long distance so it’s only Skype sex.

[Taquito_Slim]

That makes some sense. Long distance can be strenuous and some relationships require close proximity to maintain.
Also, when in a relationship, you're body releases hormones that give you a rush, but around six to eight months, your body gets used to it and you don't feel the rush and excitement anymore, and that may be the case. It could have gotten used to it earlier due to long distance.

[Asker]

I still feel the rush, we still have a great solid foundation of similar interests, similar goals, and have lots of deep conversations.

I think it can.
