| "LOVE" |
"SEX-for-Sex's-Sake" |
| LOVE must have respect to grow |
SEX-for-Sex's Sake does not demand respect in
the other person; in fact, it may cause lack of respect to grow and
flourish. (Everyone wants respect.) |
| LOVE, in order to grow, takes continual
attention and hard work. |
SEX, in and of itself, takes little hard
work and needs only a limited amount of attention temporarily. |
| LOVE is an act of the will that continue on in
spite of little or negative feelings. Love will continue by an act of
the will even if a person doesn't feel like it. |
SEX is an act of the will that is dependent upon
feelings. It is because of deeply aroused feelings, or supposed feelings
of pleasure and intimacy, that one gets involved in sexual activity. |
| LOVE takes a long time to grow and therefore
takes patience and endurance for its maturity. |
SEX can happen very quickly and needs very
little time to evolve. |
| LOVE requires meaningful communication and
thoughtful interaction between two people. |
SEX does not demand that you verbally share with
your partner. |
| LOVE is an art that is learned from others and
from the power of God. It involves many little actions that lead to a
meaningful existence. |
SEX is not a learned art, but is known by
natural instincts, and is one big action that brings about a
comprehensive feeling. |
