Love, Lust or Just Horny?

Let's take a closer look at these 3 words, the definitions are below:

Love - attraction based on sexual desire : affection and tenderness felt by lovers

Lust - Intense sexual desire

Horny - Desiring sexual gratification, excited sexually

I know what you are thinking, I am such a nerd right? LOL

Knowing these terms, do you actually love the person you are in a relationship with or just lust after them? Some people stay in horrible relationships and the excuse is "But I love him!" Is it really love? And if it is love, the definition of love is attraction based on sexual desires. So, he beats you, calls you out of your name, etc. but because you want him so bad sexually, you stay in the bad relationship?

I think that most cases it is even LUST. I think some people are so attracted to each other sexually, that it is really intense and they LOVE that feeling and they are with this person just for that reason. Not because he would be a good father, he treats you good, has a good job, makes you laugh, etc. but only because the Sex and the feeling of LUST is why you stay together. Then we wonder why things didn't work out in the end.
Being Horny is a selfish term. The definition implies that the individual wants sexual gratification, they want to climax and the means to achieve this is by any means necessary and selfish. When you are horny, you are only concerned with "getting yours," and not concerned with pleasing the other person.

Realistically, I think Love is when you actually care about pleasing the other person and with that, you are pleased in the end. Lust is a strong desire for that specific person sexually. And Horniness is all about just having an orgasm so that you feel good.

So, when you are having "certain" feelings for someone, it is important to know, "is it love, lust or am I just horny!?!?!"
