Love versus Sex

Making Love or Cold Hard Sex?

 

Love and Lust are inextricably intertwined.

Lust is ground zero for hormones -- it's nature's way of bringing the sexes together to mate.

In fact, without Lust, it's doubtful that Love between our species would have a chance to prosper at all.

 

The driving force of the sexual imperative bridges the gap between the almost incompatible brain styles of the two sexes.

Men fight wars over Lust, but they make homes and families for Love.

 

For men, Lust is a heady experience; the brain goes on hold and red-hot surges of testosterone run the show.

Lust -- like Love -- is truly blind.

This is why, especially at the beginning of a relationship, it can be hard to tell whether you're in Lust or in Love;

 

So how can you tell the difference between Lust and Love?

Here are a few tips to help you sort things out.

 

It's Lust if:

 

You're totally focused on looks and body.

You don't care about anything she/he has to say.

You only want to be with her/him to have sex.

You make excuses not to spend time with her/him, except for sex.

He/She is your booty call.

You leave after sex.

No cuddling, no breakfast the next morning, just "I gotta go."

 

It's Love, baby!

 

It's Love if:

 

The chemistry between you is remarkable.

You get lost in your conversations and the hours pass like minutes.

You're more than willing to listen to him/her when he/she talks about his/her day.

You find him/her beautiful when they wake up in the morning.

You want to spend time with him/her.

All you want to do is to be with him/her, whether you're having sex or not.

You see or fantasize a future together.

You introduce him/her to your family.

 

Lust is short-term fun;

Love is the long haul.

Even though the two sometimes masquerade as each other,

you should be able to tell the difference.

 

The real trick is in deciding what you want and that's up to you;

 

so it’s your turn, roll the dice..
