I am in love with my kids, I am in love with the smell of dewberry; as for lust, it is an aspect of one kind of love, but sometimes it is good to want that also, but be careful, it may be that you are in love with the physical feeling of being in love, I don't know....what I do know is that uncomplicated sex between to loving individuals can be fantastic.

For women - most definitely yes.
For men - I'm not a man, so I don't want speak for them; but I've read that a certain amount of lust is a prerequisite for "falling in love" for men.
Men can, however, (and this I know) love without being in "lust" . Its the "falling in love" part I'm not sure about.

Sometimes it's tough to tell the difference between passionate love & lust (or infatuation with their outward appearance). I guess the difference is with lust, you really don't care about the person's well-being. You want to be intimate with them but couldn't see growing old with them. When you're in love, you want to be intimate with them but you also want to wake up next to them for the rest of your life. Lust is just an attraction, you also have to love them as a person & a friend if you're really in love.
Some people say they fall gradually in love with a best friend. I've never really had this because friendship to me starts platonic & stays that way. You need that physical chemistry from the start I think...or maybe that's just me. You can learn to love someone but can't learn to fall in love.

I think that lust and love are very much alike, they both give you that butterfly feeling and that when you are with that person, everyhting is perfect and there are no problems in the world. Only difference is when the relationship is over, in lust, you hurt, but get over it in a short amount of time, in love, i think you will never get over....

Yes. I was in love a man for years just because he was an extraordinary person. There was no lust involved in my feelings. I dreamed about him frequently for more than thirty years after we last saw each other.

Yes, of course.True love is not a function of physical desire per se. It is about emotion, respect and sacrifice and these have nothing to do with lust.

People in the western world often associate "love" with having to be connected with family-relationships or "lovers". Many other cultures accept the concept of soul-connecting love without sex becoming involved.
