Lust & Love.

          Lust - a strong sexual desire.

          Lust and Love often act as one, and it produces the sexuality of one being. The balance of two is important. It helps us in relationships, to create the sense of intimacy, and security physically, mentally, and emotionally. And I want to address that, having lustful thoughts and sexual desires is not wrong, it's part of humanity. Yet what's truly unacceptable, is to set your moral reasoning on the irrational thoughts of lustfulness. Lust needs control, it needs understanding, and logical restrictions and respect. That's where love comes in. To control and balance out the wildness of lust, we need the emotional sympathy and compassion of love.

          I believe that lust can be just as important in a relationship as well, it also can develop the sense of mental and emotional bond that love tends to do. Lust isn't always about sex, it can be the comfortability of our bodies, it's about showing another wild, uncensored side of us human beings. It brings us closer, letting us understand that we can also be loved and accepted, even when we have these dirty, and embarrassing thoughts. We get to feel like our desires and fantasies are not judged, and are respected.

          Lustfulness can also help us with our insecurities. We start to feel sexy in bodies, and we all deeply want to desired. We want to be loved, and we want to be accepted. Our sexuality allows us to explore such intimacy and create such bonds with other bodies, souls, and minds. And of course, everyone's combination of lust and love is different, and some people's lustfulness does not come directly from sex. Sexiness is subjective. I just think that we need to start looking at sex differently. We need to explore our sexuality, and learn how to protect, pleasure, and care for our bodies. Our bodies are so tightly linked to our mental and emotional state, it's a big part of life.

          Instead of repressing a natural, beautiful part of human beings. We should start learning about who we are as an individual, not just mentally, but physically. There is absolutely nothing wrong with being sexual, yet of course we still need to know the importance of respect and consent. So, start exploring, be respectful, and be safe.
