Relationship between Love and Lust?

Question

I don't wrote this to covered up for affair or cheating. It just my logical thinking about sex and love.

_ Love do not require sex (You can love someone even know they far apart or pass away or simply unmakelovable)
_ Sex are not necessary to include love (paid-sex, prostitution, erotic dancing)
_ love and sex (lust) are two different thing
Therefore if you love someone it okay to having sex with someone else

BTW: Please don't lecture me the whole differentiation between have sex and make love. We talking philosophical, logical here, not drama or word-play

The question: Is it just our misunderstanding or expectation that tie sex and love together?

lust means sex  and love means hugs and kisses

Mythical Tales · Answer

I think that love is an emotion, lust is a desire. Both can and probably should, in some degrees, exist at the same time. I think that's where the problem arises.

I think that you're onto something - I don't think love is eternal, it always changes. You may fall in love and lust with someone and eventually grow apart and just love them as a person not a spouse or someone you even want to be in an emotional relationship with (let alone physical).

I don't think sex and love should always be tied (it's healthier for a relationship if it is), but what if you still love the person and don't want to lose them, but you don't want to have sex? I think then they can still stay together but have sex with others.

Edward N · Answer

Sex SHOULD be an expression of love but is many times an expression of lust.  Your question asks for relationship between love and lust, but then your details include sex which confuses the original question.  Keep it simple.  Take one at a time.  Love and Lust first.  They are opposites.  Love in benevolent, unselfish, seeks to give, while lust is selfish, takes to possess and own.  I think the dark progressive forces in this world would like to blur the distinction between love and lust to make them related, but they are opposites.

you have a very good point there. I agree. though most women would say no. it' s so just because they  have a more emotional view on both matters. 

people also want to own others. therefore they don't want their spouses to cheat on them. in reality, nobody owns anybody. but ask them - would they prefer emotional infidelity  (falling in love with someone else ) or physical (sex with others). I think most will choose the 2.

If you are asking this from philosophical point of view it is former and if you are asking for its meaning from materialistic point of view it is later.
