On the big screen it’s fairly easy to deduce when a character is feeling lust or love for another.
In “The L Word,” for example, it’s obvious that lust is what Alice feels for Papi, while love is what she feels for Dana (#CoupleGoals).
Similarly, lust is obviously what Seth Cohen of “The OC” feels for Alex, while love is what he feels for Summer.
But in real life — especially when it’s your life — it can be far harder to figure out what’s what. This guide is here to help.
The SparkNotes version is that love is primarily rooted in emotional, spiritual, and mental intimacy, while lust is primarily rooted in physical and sexual intimacy.
Key word here: primarily.
“There isn’t a widely agreed upon definition of each,” explains Justin Lehmiller, PhD, social psychologist and research fellow at The Kinsey Institute and author of “Tell Me What You Want: The Science of Sexual Desire and How It Can Help You Improve Your Sex Life.”
So, it depends who you ask.
He defines lust as a state of overwhelming sexual and physical attraction to another person.
“Love, on the other hand, is a much broader concept that includes deeper emotional connection and, usually, a desire to make that relationship last,” he says.
With some self-reflection, lust and love are usually fairly easy to distinguish.
Ask yourself:
1.What, if any, are the physical sensations I experience when I look at this person?
2.Do I want this person to touch me sexually? If they already have, how does it feel?
3.Do I fantasize about a future with this person? Do I fantasize about this person sexually?
4.Do I want to bring this person to family, work, or friend events? Or do I want to bring them to my bed, only?
Eh, not really.
For starters, lust and love aren’t mutually exclusive. “While you can experience love without lust or lust without love, it’s possible to experience both at the same time [for the same person],” Lehmiller says.
Second, people express love in different ways. “Some express their love through words,” he says. “Others express it through actions.”
Finally, the best way to find out what someone is feeling for you is n-e-v-e-r to run down a checklist of behaviors and characteristics. It’s to communicate with them.
(And that stands whether the person is your potential partner, fiancé, or FWB!)
All that said, notes Lehmiller, one of the main signs of love is an intimate, emotional connection that develops over time through shared experiences and self-disclosure.
Ever been minding your own beeswax in a coffee shop, sipping your brew, when a hottie walks in who makes your undies wet/tighten? That’s lust.
Lust is also the feeling you might get when an attractive actor, model, or educator pops up on your Instagram screen.
But while lust often *is* something that hits you whammo-bammo, lust is also something you can cultivate.
How? By communicating.
“In order to lust after someone — or be lusty with them — you have to get to know them and who they are and what they like, as well as share your own intimate wants and needs,” says sex educator Andrew Gurza, chief disability officer and co-founder of Handi, a company that creates sex toys by disabled people for disabled people.
To do that you might:
“Cultivating love is a much lengthier process than cultivating lust, but again, it relies on communication with the other person,” Gurza says.
Cultivating love also requires:
•compromise
•patience
•acceptance
•commitment to removing feelings of judgment
N-O-P-E!
Often when we talk about lust versus love, a hierarchy is created where love is scripted as being superior to lust, says Mary-Margaret Sweeney, LSW, an Indiana-based sex therapist and founder of Seek and Summon.
But that isn’t the case!
“Lust is not inferior to love, it’s just different,” she says. “Lust can help us feel sexy, desired, playful, and attractive, which is important in its own right.”
First, know this: “You’re allowed to want both love and lust, and you shouldn’t resign yourself to just one,” Gurza says.
Next, he suggests asking yourself:
•Am I willing to accept, make room for, and prioritize someone else’s needs in my life?
•How important is sexual fulfillment to me right now? How important is partnered sexual play to me right now?
Knowing the difference — and being able to recognize the difference — can help create relationships that are most in-line with what you have interest, capacity, and time for.
Let’s say, for example, you don’t have time for an emotional relationship. Being able to notice when your relationship begins to shift from just physical (lust) toward physical *and* emotional (love) gives you the agency to stop the relationship before it becomes something you don’t want.
Feb 9, 2018 · Am I in lust or am I in love?” After talking to hundreds of couples, I’ve come to believe there are four signs that differentiate love from lust. The first sign that it’s love rather than lust is connection.
Philip Johnston (September 17, 1892, Topeka, Kansas – September 11, 1978, San Diego, California)[1] proposed the idea of using the Navajo language as a Navajo code to be used in the Pacific during World War II.
