OK? The "shag", no matter how good or bad it is, has nothing to do with love

So are you going to tell me that the intensity of physical sex and the subsequent mental satisfaction enjoyed by a couple in love is the same as a quickie one night stand?

If you are then I'm sorry for you. You are missing so much in life.

One of the problems in this discussion is seeking black and white definitions of love and lust. You can only indicate what these emotions are this way. In reality they overlap each other, for example: A couple in love at seperate workplaces may build up a level of lust during the day that results in intense sex when they get home. They would not choose to shag someone else on the way home to satisfy their lust as they love their partner. Even thinking about the partner they love intensifies their lust. Thus love and lust overlap.

Nice try, Pekan, but complete bull****! Sorry, buddy but lust is not like feeling hungry and grabbing something to eat, the lust is for a particular item or person. So, you and your partner may love each other and lust for each other.... but one is not DEPENDENT on the other. If you loved your partner but had no means to have sex, would that mean you only half love them? Of course not. And, if you had a one night "quickie", does that mean you must feel love for that person....a person you may probably not have any more to do with after that encounter? Of course not.... think about it!

Nice try? to achieve what? What are you talking about?

Bull**** - unnecessary insult

Just read your post again slowly and think about it. It matches exactly what I said. They are not black and white emotions but grey. Apply that to my example and then yours, it holds true. I never said they are dependent on each other either, what I said was they overlap each other, again matching your example. I did not say how much they overlap, that would not be grey, and indeed they can be independent.

Why would you want to screw those you love?

[Nikitas]

it is simple in spanish

Yo te amo= i love you

Yo te quiero= i want you

No confusion, no ambiguity

Pekan, I think you are very emotional and that may be fine for you, so, enjoy and believe what you want to believe!

The fact is they are two distinctly separate emotions and not linked. They can exist simultaneously but are not grey areas... they are what they are! They have different definitions, different applications and should not be confused one for the other (this is the cause of many relationships break-downs... confusing lust for love)...

Wrong Ruby.

Lust is the desire for a physical relationship. Love does not come into the equation.

Love is the emotional part of adoring someone. They may not necessarily be exclusive to each other, but as unkie GR says you may not necessarily want to screw the one you love.

well, how would you know its love then..!
