It is a bit difficult to define the term love because it is used in a number of contexts. Some times it is said to be pure and divine like "love of a mother for her child", sometimes its romantic as in "falling (or rising, whatever)" in love, sometimes it is pure sex like "making love". Yesterday I was thinking about the exixtence of romantic love without lust. Is it possible? The answer is NO. Romance is the foreground of sex. But the sex that follows romance is beautiful and romance still remains a seperate entity to be revered. Sex between lovers is divine and can be equated with heaven. But what about sex without love or bonding? Can it exist? Sex for the sake of sex? The answer is YES. It does exist. It is quite common. I see around so many people, young and old, married and single, who would not mind having a sexual encounter here and now. They say, they need it. If forced to stay away from their families, they'd do it often. They may even go to prostitutes. What is this? Is this negation of 5 million years of human evolution which has given romance and love? Maybe. Maybe nature is stronger than civilization. And mind you, i do not include the "courting and dances" aimed at having sex, in the category of romance. Because although it is true that romance will culminate in sex yet it is not what romance is directly aimed for. Sex is the consequence of romance not its sole goal. Whereas the courting and drama that goes on before pure and simple sex at whcih the mind is aimed, is part of sex.
So, what is sex without love and romance? I think it is just stimulation. It is just like jerking off with a better and more real fantasy. Nothing more than that.
After all, the part of brain that takes care of love is different than the part that gets stimulated during sex...
