You don't know someone but can you still have desire for them?

Yes when they Lust over someone , meaning they are infatuated with someone , but don’t love them , they just like them , what a lot of people tend do these days , basically have sex with someone without committing themselves completely to them , they just like the benefits of that someone , mainly for sex

The answer to that is yes people can desire another person for many reasons. It could be for sex, their money, their status, and many other superficial things. Many people may even think they love someone but in fact they really only love something else about them and if that was gone they would leave.

no... not really... I don't feel sexual attraction to strangers...

That's just lust. It happens all the time.

Desire comes before love. Sometimes you can desire someone based just on some crude idea of who they are.

Like desiring your future spouse? Heck yeah you can! You can long for him, desire him, want him, and even love him.

Of course, people are nothing more than horny animals

yes, that's what they would call lust... or, infatuation

Very much possible. But it's mostly because of sexual attraction... lust.

Yes, that's why we like celebrities and fantasize about other people we haven't met

Yes, of course. Sex and desire are what they are.

My wife is like that. She's a big fan of Tinder hook-ups.

Yup, you can still lust after someone because of what you built up in your head vs what actually is.

Can a person desire without loving?
