Is It Lust Or Love You Are Feeling? by smacx: 1:52pm On Aug 25, 2016
You met her on the flight to Abuja and you love her so much because she has all that you want in a woman.

Hence, you want to marry her.

Sorry to rain on your parade but many men before you have had a similar experience, especially during early adulthood, and they are now wiser.

You insist she’s your woman?

Check, check, check!

Well, not so fast! Run your feelings through this simple test.

Do you want to be with this person to have sex at the earliest opportunity? Apart from her physical appearance and body parts, what else do you know about her? In this world of body enhancement, or artificial this, artificial that, do you even know what lies behind those clothes?

The reality is that the intense feeling triggered by the lady is because your sex hormones are raging, fuelling you with idealisation and projection. You are seeing what you hope the lady will be or need her to be, rather than seeing the real person.

So, please wait for the euphoria or intense feeling to cool down, then you’d know what exactly you are feeling.

If you are a woman who is smitten by love at first sight, your case may even be worse. Check, check, check again because women are not wired to fall in instant love. They are more careful in building relationships, and their love is a combination of several factors deeper than sex or the love for money.

Falling in Lust

Most often when people, especially men, say they have fallen in love, the reality of the situation is that they have fallen in lust.

An example of this situation can be found in a course on Intense Emotions and Strong Feelings.

According to experts like Mary C. Lamia, lust may be experienced as intense desire or unbridled sexual longing. No matter the intensity of the feeling, lust cannot even be described as a natural human emotion.

People who are in the throes of lust may lose their sensibilities since lust seems unable to recognise the reality of a situation, rather it motivates one to neglect it.

Judith Orloff, a psychiatrist, explains that in the state of lust, the “brain is much like a brain on drugs. MRI scans illustrate that the same area lights up when an addict gets a fix of cocaine as when a person is experiencing the intense lust of physical attraction.”

Pure lust is based solely on physical attraction and fantasy and it often dissipates when the “real person” surfaces. It’s the stage of wearing illusory glasses such that he or she “can do no wrong.”
