I like to compare lust vs. love to different size stars... Lust burns a lot hotter than true love, but it also dies out in a fraction of the time...

By the common understanding of "lust", this isn't necessarily true. You can have a relationship in which both parties have a lasting committment and a very passionate, healthy sex life.

The ecclesiastical definition of lust is to use another human being as little more than a tool for one's own sexual pleasure, in which case of course lust is entirely incompatible with love.

I dunno.....I think lust can be quite fun :wink: . I spose it is frustrating when it is not reciprocated.

Maybe we should come with a switch so it can be turned on and off.

Or maybe a remote?

Well the majority of human achievements have been done with the sole purpose of impressing women in order to get some sex. So I'd say lust is a necessary evil.

Like greed and fear, I could do without it. I look forward to living in Heaven, where we'll have none of those things.

I wouldn't mind a relationship based on lust as long as I'd have friends to rely on in times of emotional need.

I was thinking more of the second definition... I don't consider the first to be "lust", as it involved a committed relationship (while I've always considered lust to be the antithesis of a committed relationship)
