LOVE VS LUST

in #relationship6 years ago

Hello guys today I'll be explaining the major differences between LOVE & LUST.
let's start by stating what could bring about LOVE & LUST, well these two feelings could only be experienced if two parties are involved that is a man and a woman its obvious but i had to make it clear.
Furthermore in relationship there are two basic reasons why two persons decides to venture into it and these reasons are LOVE & LUST.
Have been able to research about what drives the two persons (male or female) into a relationship, well as for the male they get attracted by what they see while females get attracted to what they hear, back to the discussion of the day i will proceed by defining what LOVE & LUST means respectively.
LOVE according to Merriam Webster dictionary is a feeling of strong or constant affection for a person while LUST on the other is defined as a strong feeling of sexual desire.
Lust is the first stage of falling in love, it's driven by desire. The sex hormones play an important role in this stage, according to experts this stage may begin immediately and can last up to two years.
Signs that you're in lust:
You're focused on the physical appearance of the object of your desire.
There is a strong desire to have sex, but not deep emotional conversations.
You’d rather keep the relationship on a fantasy level, not discuss real feelings.
You are lovers, but not necessarily friends.

Stage 2: Attraction

This is the “love-struck” phase. When you spend hours daydreaming about your lover; when you lose sleep or your appetite, you know you're in this phase. The neurohormones that play an important role in the attraction or infatuation phase are dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin. These are the hormones that send our heart racing, and might actually make us feel like we are going insane.

Stage 3: Deep Love and Attachment

When a couple has gotten to know themselves beyond the courting phase and they get to see their partner’s “whole” personality, including their strengths and weaknesses, and still choose to love and accept each other for who they are, a neurohormone of love called oxytocin takes over. This is the commitment hormone. It's released during orgasm and believed to promote bonding when adults are intimate.

The theory goes on that the more sex a couple has, the deeper the bond becomes. Socrates was correct when he said “where there is love there is madness.” Romantic love and addiction share similar brain chemistry. Therefore, if you are not interested in a serious committed relationship, Dr. Fisher advises not to casually sleep with someone because you are likely to bond with the individual with whom you have an orgasm with. Basically we are kidding ourselves when we say we are going to keep it casual. Our brain is wired to bond and connect with a partner with whom we experience pleasure.

Signs that you're in true romantic love

This type of love is not just an emotion, it's also a craving. There is a strong emotional craving, the love drive is even stronger than the sex drive.
