difference between passion/love/lust?

Question

from all points of view, what is the difference between the three and similar terms in relationships of all types? What are ways of convincing oneself that a relationship is/was based on one and not the other?

Answer 1

to me, passion is what i feel for the concept of love, for the /my ideal person i might meet, love is what i felt for my ex husband, who wasnt all i wished he could be, but with whom i tried to make it work, lust is the person i was with last week, when i tossed aside all deep meaning, and just enjoyed myself, expecting nothing more then what was happening in the moment, i think of it as passion is mental and the spirit/soul, love is of the heart and spirit/soul, and lust is of the physical , yes i used spirit/soul twice, as i feel one loves their passions , and are passionate about their loves, they are very inter connected

Answer 2

Firstly lust is purly physical.

a. Passion is sparked by physical attraction and sexual desire, and drives a person to pursue a romantic relationship.

b. Intimacy involves feelings of closeness, connectedness, and bondedness in a loving relationship.

c. Commitment is the decision to love someone for the long term.

Love evolves and changes as individuals mature so a person will experience different forms of love at different times for the same person.

---there are forms of love----

Romantic love is the all-encompassing, passionate love of romantic songs and poetry also referred to as passionate love, infatuation, obsessive love.
b. Passionate love blooms in the initial euphoria of a new attachment to a sexual partner, but the passion of that intensity fades after a time.

2. Companionate love
a. If a relationship is to continue, romantic love must develop into companionate love, which involves feelings of deep affection, attachments, intimacy, and ease with the partner.

b. Companionate love includes the development of trust, loyalty, a lack of criticalness, and a willingness to sacrifice for the partner.
c. It does not have the passionate high and low swings of romantic love, but it can even be a deeper, more intimate love.

Answer 3

Passion is the can be the emphasis you put into everything you do, the force of power that is conveyed in your being. Love is the complete affection for someone, in a way that stimulates the mind and creates a happy sensation of peace. Lust is the complete desire for sex, or the urge of sex. (Trust me, I've felt 'em all, even at 13.)

Answer 4

There is no basis for deciding. The endocrine system, the limbic system, the all the organs, the skin, the peripheral and central nervous system, the digestive tract, DNA and epigenetics are all tied up in this and you want to unravel the influences? Good luck.

Answer 5

What is Love ?

The Oxford English dictionary describes love as: an intense
feeling of deep fondness or affection for a person or thing
and to fall in love as: to develop a great love for.
This may well be a basic description of what love feels like,
but why do we love, what is passion, and why is intense
desire between two people sometimes called 'chemistry'?Heart Box

There are, in fact, three distinct stages of love; each with
their own characteristic emotional profile and scientific explanation.

First is lust. Lust is driven by our sex hormones testosterone
and oestrogen. These hormones are what get us 'out on the pull'.
After lust comes attraction. This is the love-struck phase;
the time when we lose our appetite, can't sleep, and can't
concentrate. This is what we know as falling in love.

Imagine an invisible, undetectable force that's powerful
enough to override your sense of reason yet draws you
to someone with an almost animal passion. These aren't
Cupid's mythological arrows, but real shots of human
pheromones.

Do pheromones work in human sexual attraction?

They may be odorless and colorless and their function may be
mysterious, but human pheromones at last have the zest of
scientific truth. Researchers at the University of Chicago
have demonstrated that compounds swabbed from the
'underarms' of young women at different times of the month
can alter the length of other women's menstrual cycles,
compressing or expanding the cycles in predictable
fashion....

What is the force that lights the fuse between two
complete strangers? What current pulses through their veins,
engorges their hearts, occupies their minds and numbs their
texting fingers? Ah, if only

I knew. As magic formulas go, sexual chemistry must surely
be the most valuable. It's intoxicating effects are more
pleasurable and more powerful than any drug and when it hits,
it hits hard. There are the rushes of ecstacy, the gut wrenching
anticipation, fluttering, dizziness, and the diminished
concentration that turns day-dreaming into a full-time job.
And then there are the side effects. A positively Colombian
annihilation of appetite and its confidence- boosting by-product,
weight loss. And it is free. And it is legal. It is bloody amazing.

But no one knows what "it" is. Scientists have managed to
map our genetic blueprint. They understand the subtleties
of hormones and the complexities of the emotional brain.
But the thing that makes two people click remains a mystery.
Theories abound as to what, or why. Those looking for a
magic bullet (or Cupid's arrow) tend to favour the notion
of pheromones - scents secreted by the sweat glands in the
'armpits' and pubic hair. And the relatively recent discovery
of the vomeronasal organ, a small chemo-sensory structure in
the human nose, lends the concept some weight.
