Differences between Love and lust

There is a quality of lust that we jump into! Think about the gray or Fifty Shades of your classic bad boy or bad girl, who are in danger without any strings. But according to a prominent love expert, Drs. Helen Fisher-Lust is the first phase of love. Without the desire to want someone first, we cannot experience intimacy. So, how do we know if we are still stuck in the initial phase of attraction, or are ready for something more meaningful and longer-lasting? 

Six main differences between Lust vs Love 

1. Lust is motivated by a physical relationship, but love comes from an emotional relationship. It all comes to our mind. Which areas are being activated when you hang out with your partner? Research shows that lust lights up areas associated with reward and motivation where love stimulates areas that help you empathize. Lust is when you and your partner do so much to talk, but have great sex. This is common for two people who have not been dating for a very long time. But love on the other hand is when you appreciate your partner more than just their looks, and can spend meaningful time with them. It is he who eventually initiates a deep and serious relationship. 

2. Doing overtime increases love, while lust weakens. Psychologist and sex therapist Shannon Chavez says that as attachment and bonding increases over time, so does love. But lust is more temporary and fades away when sexual desire disappears. If a relationship is based solely on lust, there is essentially no foundation for falling in love with each other. Lust feels like an exciting roller coaster but can only be sustained by physical pleasure. When the real work is in motion either it turns into love or the relationship breaks up. 

3.lust is based on fantasies. Although love is running on the surface of reality, have you ever looked at past relationships and wondered how on earth you two can be together? I don't know about you, but I sure do. When life becomes earthly, imagination can come in handy, but more often than not it is like a double-edged sword. When you like the idea of ​​someone who is actually in front of you it can cause you to miss a lot of red flags. Relationship experts say that there is only so much time before reality sets in, which shows you that your partner also has the same faults and your expectations were unreasonable. 

4. In lust, you are a romantic partner, but in love, you are a lifelong friend. Psychiatrist Judith Orloff finds that in lust people are just lovers but true love builds on the foundation of a strong friendship. Sure! Two people can agree to be in a relationship, go on fun dates, and even meet each other's family, but if they don't have an agreement, communicate poorly, And fail to understand each other, it is very unlikely to have a future together. 

5. lust is all thrill-seeking while love is a quest for stability. Researchers looked at MRI scans of people's lust and found that when an addict cures cocaine, his brain looks the same. Sounds intense, doesn't it? But that is why it is unlikely to last as long as Mohabbat. The effects of the drug stop when you cannot fulfill your sexual desires. While lust is about instant gratification, love is a relentless quest for stability. 

6.lust is selfish but love comes from a selfless place. When you love someone, you focus more on helping them reach their goals and more about their health and well-being. Lust, on the other hand, is about your own seekers as if you are next to your attractive partner or fulfilling your sexual desires. To move from the initial stage of lust to love, you should determine whether you can see yourself doing favors or making sacrifices for your partner. Do you think you are in lust or in love?
