Is sex love?
Many think so
No! No! No!
The arousal...
The violent thrashing about
The final release
Is this love?
No!
Even animals do that
Love is divine
The pleasure is in the mind
Not in the body
It sees beauty
Not of the body
Not of the face
But of the thoughts
It is the coition of minds
Not of the body
The pleasure is manifold more
It lasts many lifetimes
It gives meaning to life
It stiffens the back
It clears the confusion in the mind
That is love
Sex is not love
If one wants another only for some self-satisfaction, usually in the form of sensual pleasure, that wrong desire takes the form of lust rather than love.
I will far rather see the race of man extinct than that we should become less than beasts by making the noblest of God's creation, woman, the object of our lust.
In our minds, love and lust are really separated. It's hard to find someone that can be kind and you can trust enough to leave your kids with, and isn't afraid to throw her man up against the wall and lick him from head to toe.
It's not till sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can really love.
Love and sex can go together and sex and unlove can go together and love and unsex can go together. But personal love and personal sex is bad.
ANDY WARHOL
Because the two are different. When love is very pure there is no need or place for sex
Considering only extreme types, sex is utterly selfish, using the object only in order to get satisfaction. Love is not unselfish, but it is very difficult to name its selfish aims, other than that of being happy in the happiness of the beloved person. In no case can love be only selfish, or as selfish as sex. Then it would not be love. It is always concerned with the welfare or happiness of the other person, regrets the other's absence, wants to be together with the object, feels lonely with it, fears calamity or danger for it. There is nothing of this kind in crude sex. If the individual is not aroused by sexual wishes the presence of the sex object is not desired and its absence not regretted.
I have always laid it down as a maxim—and found it justified by experience—that a man and a woman make far better friendships than can exist between two of the same sex—but then with the condition that they never have made or are to make love to each other.
Even elegant
and practiced sex
from shrewd men
won't sweep me off my feet
as will love made
in goodness and affection
wherever or however done.
O! I must tell you that I have fallen in love with a gentleman whom I have lately come acquainted with: he is about 60 or 70—has the misfortune to be humpbacked, crooked legged, and rather deformed in his face.—But, in sober sadness, I am delighted with the Dean of Coleraine, whose picture this is, and which I have very lately read. The piety, the zeal, the humanity, goodness and humility of this charming old man have won my heart. Ah! who will not envy him the invaluable treasure!
There can be no sexual love without lust; but, on the other hand, until the currents of lust in the organism have been irradiated as to affect other parts of the psychic organism—at the least the affections and the social feelings—it is not yet sexual love. Lust, the specific sexual impulse, is indeed the primary and essential element in this synthesis, for it alone is adequate to the end of reproduction, not only in animals but in men. But it is not until lust is expanded and irradiated that it develops into the exquisite and enthralling flower of love.
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society.
MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE
Love forgives the lover even his lust.
In real love there is no need of lust.
Sex is a part of love. You shouldn't go around doing it unless you are in love.
Love ain't anything but sex misspelled
Love, love, love—all the wretched cant of it, masking egotism, lust, masochism, fantasy under a mythology of sentimental postures, a welter of self-induced miseries and joys, blinding and masking the essential personalities in the frozen gestures of courtship, in the kissing and the dating and the desire, the compliments and the quarrels which vivify its barrenness.
Love and lust are far asunder. The one is good, the other bad.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU
When we understand that man is the only animal who must create meaning, who must open a wedge into neutral nature, we already understand the essence of love. Love is the problem of an animal who must find life, create a dialogue with nature in order to experience his own being.
But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts; whereof I take this that you call love to be a sect or scion.... It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will

IN A LIGHTER VEIN....
A little boy asked his mother:
- Mummy, why are you white and I am black?
- Don’t even ask me that, when I remember that party..., you are lucky that you don’t bark.

Does it mean love and sex are two different things. As sex happens only when there is lust. This is the confusion spread in films and romantic novels. See the next quote...
It's not till sex has died out between a man and a woman that they can really love.
ENID BLAGNOLD
------------------------------------
IN A LIGHTER VEIN....
A woman starts dating a doctor. Before too long, she becomes pregnant and they don't know what to do. About nine months later, just about the time she is going to give birth, a priest goes into the hospital for a prostate gland infection. The doctor says to the woman,
"I know what we'll do. After I've operated on the priest, I'll give the baby to him and tell him it was a miracle."
"Do you think it will work?" she asks.
"It's worth a try." he says. So, the doctor delivers the baby and then operates on the priest.
After the operation he goes in to the priest and says, "Father, you're not going to believe this."
"What?" asks the priest, "what happened?".
"You gave birth to a child!"
"But that's impossible!" says the priest.
"I just did the operation," insists the doctor, "it's a miracle! Here's your baby."
About fifteen years go by, and the priest realises he must tell his son the truth. One day, he sits the boy down and says,
"Son, I have something to tell you. I'm not your father."
The son says,
"What do you mean, you're not my father?"
The priest replies,
"I am your mother. The archbishop is your father."

A perfect definition of love!
There can be no sexual love without lust; but, on the other hand, until the currents of lust in the organism have been irradiated as to affect other parts of the psychic organism—at the least the affections and the social feelings—it is not yet sexual love. Lust, the specific sexual impulse, is indeed the primary and essential element in this synthesis, for it alone is adequate to the end of reproduction, not only in animals but in men. But it is not until lust is expanded and irradiated that it develops into the exquisite and enthralling flower of love.
HAVELOCK ELLIS
Ellis says it all starts with lust. Lust expands and develops into love. Yeah but love and sex are two different things. And love does not necessarily come after lust.
The problem with marriage is that it ends every night after making love, and it must be rebuilt every morning before breakfast.
GABRIEL GARCIA MARQUEZ
"Making love". It does not make sense. Sex and love are two different, separate things.
Sex is the mysticism of materialism and the only possible religion in a materialistic society.
MALCOLM MUGGERIDGE
Sadly this seems to be true.
Love forgives the lover even his lust.
FRIEDRICH NIETZSCHE
In real love there is no need of lust.

Greer describes what today goes in the name of love.
Love and lust are far asunder. The one is good, the other bad.
HENRY DAVID THOREAU

ERNEST BECKER
I don't find we create any meaning when we sleep with anyone. It is just fulfilling our animal urges. Like emptying our bladder. (When we sleep with someone we do not love at all). Having sex fulfils because we are near the person we love. It is the nearness that matters, not the actual coition. Sex is lust. Nothing more.
But we have reason to cool our raging motions, our carnal stings, our unbitted lusts; whereof I take this that you call love to be a sect or scion.... It is merely a lust of the blood and a permission of the will
