Lust is wanting to be with a person to fulfill your sexual desires and that alone. Therefore you will have no regard for their emotions, needs, financial status and may just want to possess them.

We share a lot of activities, all of which could be viewed by an audience of children without us being arrested.Lust: I notice I'm drained when they leave, and the things I want to do with/to this person would get us arrested in public OR disowned by parents/community.

well, my opinion is that i think it quite simple defining love in comparison to lust, cos when you are in love you want that special person around you all the time, you miss them when they are not there, you want to share things, you just cant stop thinking about them, its like your whole world has changed and you cannot imagine them not being in your life anymore, thats love! lust for someone, well i think that on an emotional level you can think more with your head that with your heart, dont get me wrong, lust is a very strong emotion, it involves passion but only that, it may be difficult for someone who may be a bit out of touch with their feelings to know the difference between the two but for someone who is very much in touch with their feelings would know straight away!at the end of the day it comes down to knowing what your needs are and knowing your feelings, as i say if your a bit out of touch then its very likely you will get confused! and confusion can lead to disapointment which could then lead to all sorts of unwanted emotions. my advice is get to know yourself before somebody else thinks that they know you better!
