The Difference Between Love and Lust

Today we explore the truth about lust and its value in the presence of love. Can love exist successfully with a good dose of lust or is lust merely the key turning the ignition of love fading naturally in time leaving love to stand alone?

Ask yourself, have you experienced love without an intense longing ? How can this longing or lust be a bad thing?  We are genetically attracted to those who are a good match for us.  Could it be lust is the natural instinctive response when it comes to match making?

It can be difficult to compare the differences as lust often exist along side love in a relationship and can be the most pleasurable of aspects.  Is there really the possibility that lust is fleeting, not suitable to stand the test of time?  If you’ve been wondering if a love based in lust is good or bad and something you should or should not consider, follow along as we compare.

The major concern over these two qualities of love is safe verses risky or comfort verses excitement. Love is a positive aspect of a relationship with both partners holding the others happiness in high regard.

Love Based Affairs

A love based relationship is considerate of the others feelings and desires. Each partner usually puts their partner before the other all the while working hard to treat them with respect.

Love based relationships are constantly working toward compromise and growth.  Love based relationships are typically long lasting.

The presence of love allows a couple to work through issues or problems as they arise.

The thoughtfulness and care of a loving relationship maintains a path toward continued growth building a fond history making the love deeper and more committed.

In contrast a lustful affair does not have negative affects on a relationship unless one of those involved is not a lust based lover at heart. Lustful relationship are far less careful than one that is love based. Many people don’t like the intensity of lust as it relates to recklessness, while others crave it and are geared for lust.  This explains the conflict often occuring as some people have the personality for it while others do not.  Another case in point as to why opposites should not come together as a couple.

The major difference between love and lust is that lust is a relationship in which one is consumed by their own desires and driven by intense cravings to have their desires met. It is this lustful craving which creates a challenging yet steamy and exciting love affair.  This is a romance for those seeking an intense and stimulating partnership. The vital thing to consider in love and lust is understanding what you want in a relationship. We tend to be constantly drawn toward what our inner self wants.  

In the beginning most of us are open to lust and accept it as we long to grow closer to the other person.  

On average people think lust fades away in time.  Many expect lust to remain as a permanent fixture and feel the relationship has failed if it declines or stops.

If both partners have a lust based personality this works well as both will insure their desires are met and the eb and flow of exciting trade is stimulating and keeps both parties vested and interested. 

There is a fundamental selfishness in lust based relationships, the personalities of those involved are crucial to enjoy and survive it. 

There are those who need the energy lust creates or they quickly grow bored and feel empty.  

Two such people paired make it fair and balanced as they both make sure they get what they want stimulating the couple as a whole.

Passion and desire is the driving force in a lust based relationship and often once the desires are met a new level of desire may become the goal. 

Lustful affairs may lack respect for the others feelings and are often short lived and can be tumultuous in end if both parties aren't of the lustful nature.  While this is an issue to be carefully consider it can work out.  If both parties are lustful people they tend to develop a great respect for the other if honest exchanges of their desires are well communicated.

This open and honest exchange allows both parties to continually conquer their desires which makes for a strong and lasting relationship. While it may not be right for you it can be amazing for many.

If you're determined to give a relationship with a lust based lover a go It is vital to understand the others desires, meet their lustful needs within the relationship all the while separating it from the love base.  

All in all the difference between love and lust is a vital consideration given your personality. While it is possible for lust to exist in a loving relationship it’s not for the sensitive lust free person.
