Lust and Love

Thanks man I appreciate it. I think I'll try that.

 

I think that, where love and lust are concerned you can have three (very generalised) categories:

lust without love = which means your relationship will never really get beyond fuck buddy status. You may be very attracted to the person physically, but without loving them as a person that is bound to fade with time.

love without lust = which means your relationship will never really get beyond friend status. You'll probably be amazingly good friends for life, but it'll be more platonic than anything else, because you are only really attracted to them mentally.

love AND lust = the great combo, where you want to tear someone's clothes off and have a wild night, but you'd be just as happy to stay up late and talk about life. The type of relationship where seeing them when you wake up is just as important as sleeping with them, where you get all the best elements of friendship and hot sex. Basically, it's when you are attracted to every part of someone; their body, their mind - you just want them.

 

Very good, FrozenMoonbeam. I agree.

 

yeah, thanks Moon you really helped me out a lot! now I just have to actually go out and FIND my lustful lover...

 

Just go for the lust, man, and have some fun. Love will come sooner or later. You don't need to be in "love" at your young age.

 

I don't believe there is such a thing as unconditional love in a romantic relationship.

 

You are right. There is not. There are things the other person could do (I'm talking pretty horrible things generally) that would kill that love.
