This really happens, right? What do you do whenever you feel unwanted lustful desires upon seeing a specific woman or man? Anyway, love is what really matters since lust will only lead to confusion and despair.

Love at first sight is real. It's extremely rare and often hard to realize, but it does exist. Lust is not inherently wrong or pointless, either. It does not always end in "confusion and despair". Love and lust are equally important in an individual's life, and even in a serious relationship. One without the other can make a relationship bland and unfulfilled.

That is an interesting topic . To my mind ,love at the first glimpse is totally bull#hit .The sentence stains the definition of love .When two fall in love with each other ,they must be attracted by the other's personality and attitude ,which are not available at the first sight .What impress one when he sees others is mainly appearance .So get lust at the first sight is more believable .Frankly speaking ,i have had lust at first sight for many times .I am a common guy .It is normal for me to react when seeing hot girls .I don't think it as inappropriate.

Then I guess I am an affront to the definition of love because I have experienced love at first sight myself.

Love at first sight i don't think so, every sexy women that i saw it urges me with lust than love, only a desire to get to know them thats all, and confusion yes it does make you confused and you blabber dumb words in front of a pretty lady that's how the brain reacts to excitement, watching too much nonsense will confuse mind to urge for unwanted desire like lust.

Actually, it is possible. I discussed this previously. Love at first sight happens, but not to everyone. Just check out the work of John Lee. He mentioned that there are 6 kinds of love styles. Scientists have confirmed that they are found in genes. Some of us are just programmed in the DNA to decide within seconds as to who is going to be our mate. This is called Eros according to John Lee. I have always believed in love at first sight and coincidently, this is how I found my boyfriend and we are going to marry soon. He might be a bit of a whiner, but he is still my perfect match, for we both get along with each other really well and have same likes and dislikes, and future goals.

Thanks for the response. That is interesting, anyway I guess opposites really do attract even in relationships.

First, humans feel lustful. Humans feel love. Why deny either? If you see someone and they attract your lustful thoughts, it is part of being human. There is nothing wrong with feeling lustful. That is the feeling which motivates someone to ask the other party to some gathering or some function to begin building a relationship. From that relationship, love can bloom. If you never feel lustful for someone, you will never find romantic love. Lust only leads to confusion and despair when it is not acknowledged and managed.

Your question really made me thing.hmmm, what do I do? Honestly, for me, self control is the most important thing for this matter especially when you are in "real" relationship. When you really feel the "love" , a magical instant lust does not really work. When i see guys better than my boyfriend's capability or appearance, I always think of my boyfriend as the man who really accepts every single bit of me, the man I love and with this man I will put my lust. Well for boys, I am not really sure how they handle it, not for all perhaps, because some of boys i knew and my friends too, when they feel that this girl is really hot, even they are in a relationship, they hook them up!:)
