Can Love Turn Into Lust?


Love turning into lust is like the dying of a beautiful plant, the fading of colours, the flickering of a once brilliant light. But how truly can Love become lust?

When in a relationship, one partner suddenly feels that the love euphoria initially experienced is lost, and that the only thing that binds them is just sexual activities; should it be concluded that their love had become lust?

First the question to be asked is, "was their love true? Was it based on right and genuine intention?
Could it have been that one partner simply savours the idea of being in love- a fantasized love; an infatuation? (This often happens in Ladies)
Couldn't it have been that they were initially both in lust?

At what point does one conclude that the love in the relationship is no longer there? Although, two people might love each other but not compatible for a marital relationship; that should not be a conclusion that love has become lust.

It is better to examine your relationship. Have a deep conversation about it with your partner if he or she is willing to listen, or go for counseling. For true love can never become lust.

In terms of intimate relationship, lust is a strong desire to get sexually intimate with the opposite sex. According to Judith Orloff M.D's book on intuitive healing she discussed the difference between lust and love: Pure lust is based solely on physical attraction and fantasy--it often dissipates when the "real person" surfaces. ...... However, real love, not based on idealization or projection, requires time to get to know each other. Here are some signs to watch for to differentiate pure lust from love. SIGNS OF LUST *You're totally focused on a person's looks and body. *You're interested in having sex, but not in having conversations. *You'd rather keep the relationship on a fantasy level, not discuss real feelings. *You want to leave soon after sex rather than cuddling or breakfast the next morning. *You are lovers, but not fr

Dreams Never Die Till... (1)

Nothing can be more alive in the inner recesses of our minds than our dreams. That is the proof of the incontestable superiority of our dreams to all other ideas and thoughts swirling around our brains for attention. The reason is that our rise and fall in life depends on the types of dream we harbour and nurture in our minds.
