Having love is more powerful than having lust. Lust is something that can be given from anyone but love on the other hand can only be given from the heart.

The second step is the awareness that they have aroused the object (self awareness). This furthers the arousal.
In Greta Christina’s essay, “Are We Having Sex Now or What?,” Christina contemplates the definition of sex, and provides counter examples to why her proposed definitions are invalid. Interestingly, rather than blatantly trying to present the readers with a definition, Christina recounts her past and tries to determine which of her personal sexual encounters, whether with men or women, were considered sex. Then, she tries to formulate a definition that is able to describe all the times she had sex. Although she is able to come up with a couple different definitions, she ultimately ends up where she started—still searching for an answer to her question. One of the definitions that Christina presents is that sex is the acknowledgement and sexual enjoyment of at least one of the individuals who partakes in the sex that he or she just had sex.
The speaker explains that, “This last will justify my soft complaint/While that may serve to lessen my constraint.” (l.5-6), implying that it is Clarinda’s masculinity that the speaker is in love with, which justifies her sexual attraction. The use of the word complaint here refers to a poem about unhappy love; a lament.

This also suggest a longing for a return to the time in her life Nikki thinks was her and her lover’s best love. Even if this means the love comes in the form of sexual intercourse. This kind of love, while extremely passionate at times, could also lack a certain intimacy found in true love. In other words sex is a part of love, not the other way
This type of love tends to occur in those with low self-esteem and those who gain confidence in pleasing their love interest. Mania and agape love are similar in that they both have the ability to develop into a very intense and unhealthy relationship for both parties. In both instances the parties involved have the ability to lose their sense of reality.
