I feel that while love can be even for your parents or sibling or friend, lust generally comes from attraction. But again I cannot deny that lust is a corollary of love and specially in case of our partner, it is healthy if love and lust co-exist as that lends completeness to the relation. But of course in the long run it is love that matters because depending on how strong it is the relation will either survive or perish.
So what do you think of love and lust? Do you feel one stems naturally from the other or are they two completely different emotions in your opinion?

lust without love goes away very quickly, just vanishes into the air........
Happy is the man who feels both love and lust and when he is loved too...

Love is a feeling that stays in our hearts and remains with us long after emotion has faded. Lust will just burn itself out. Lust is not something that can last. Love is what we need to be everlasting. @mariacecilia13 (490)

I believe that intimacy is really needed in a relationship, but only after you get to know each other. I believe being open to each other regarding intimate things will keep the couple's love for each other alive. =)

For me, love and lust are totally different feelings. I often said I was in love with somebody when was just lust and I guess it's always like that until you spend years with that person so you begin to see in a different way. The lust is that always happens the first years, might be like too much love, but I don't think so. I think love is much difficult to feel than lust, and most of the times we said we were in love, was just lust.

different aspects..but we cannot deny that sometimes it really go through at the same time.. We're just humans, we are both attracted esp. to the one we love. I think it is a part of every relationship, sometimes we feel the lust but we try to hide for some reasons.

hello,
Hmm, So, love and lust? Okay? It is natural if you are in a relationship you will be attracted in the person you love and thats what you called lust. But for me it is not natural to feel that you lust to somebody that you just met. right? but i know you cannot let it be. Not sure.

I agree. It is healthy if lust and love co-exist. Love helps the relationship to endure the ups and the downs, the good times and the bad times. Lust keeps the two of you attracted to each other, it's the passion that the relationship needs. Lust is the instant attraction - where the interest and the physical attraction stems from. I think it is possible to have love stem from a mutual attraction ie lust. Love takes time to build on and strengthen. Lust is instant. The trick is to find someone who drives you wild but you can build a loving foundation with in your relationship. Love is for everyone.
