Lust -- like love -- is truly blind.
This is why, especially at the beginning of a relationship,
it can be hard to tell whether you're in lust or love;
whether she may be "The One," or merely a passing fancy who'll
have your blood boiling for only a short while.
The driving force of the sexual imperative bridges the gap between
the almost incompatible brain styles of the two sexes. So lust can
be seen as one end of a broad continuum, which may or may not
culminate in romantic love.
And love is the most ennobling of human emotions -- transcendental,
exalted and capable of engendering emotional states, which can make
the male of the species "want to be a better man."
Men fight wars over lust, but they make homes and families for love.
The real danger is that both lust and love can rob a man of his
natural strength and defenses -- and then it's all too easy to
hand his male power over to a woman for sex-ploitation .
