Introduction
At the bottom of lust is really the search for a kind of
love and acceptance.
Something knows in us that to have sex even if it is once, is
to be loved and accepted in some way.
So the problem here lies, not in the search for love but in the
way it is searched for and where. Lust thinks love is where its ideas of what
pleases the senses are satisfied and that love is found in the sexual act. In
some way that is true but definitely not exclusively true. Lust gets it wrong
when it only considers these two places and rules everything out.
The Search
However this search for love is done by considering the sexual
act and making sure the senses and their criteria are pleased.
Vision of Lust
Lust only thinks of the senses, matter, sensations and the
sexual act. It only happens to look through these very limited lenses – it has
tunnel vision. 
It thinks love is possible when the senses are fulfilled,
when the sexual act is complete. That is why it looks for those things only and
does not consider anything else, mainly because the love of lust is the sensual
kind of love.
Conclusion
There are other ways to search for love. But the correct way
is the full or total picture not the narrow picture that lust makes a human
being to think that love is found and fulfilled through the senses and the sexual
act. A broader view considering all three types of love will change this very
narrow and incorrect view that lust has.
