Your Brain On Lust Is Completely Different From Your Brain On Love
Have you ever made a bad decision when you thought you were in love? Chances are you may not really have been in love…it could have been lust you were experiencing instead.

Lust? Love? What’s the difference? It’s somewhat easy to confuse them because they overlap. Lust is a strong sexual desire for another person – but nothing more. Love, on the other hand, encompasses sexual desire and attraction, but goes beyond. When you love someone, you want what’s best for them and act accordingly. In other words, lust is about what sexual pleasure that person can provide you, whereas love is about what you can do to care for the other person, mind, body, and soul.
