Loving another person is a mechanism that is designed to make people have sex.

Loving another person is a mechanism that is designed to make people have sex.

and this mechanism is also called as sexual desire?

the reason why men and women are attracted to each other is because they complement each other and together they can reproduce. And love is like a glue. It makes it possible for two people to live together and take care of each other and their offspring.

True love does not exist. Period.

If anything can deserve to be called true love, it is what God has for his creations especially humankind.

As for calling sexual desire a form of love. That is a misnomer.

But the west likes to use the word "love", "make love" etc rather than "sex" "****" etc. because it lessens the harshness and the bluntness that you would feel from guilty conscience.

This is because even though they are driven by blind sexual urges like animals after forgetting Christ's message, still God has instilled in every human being a sense of shame.

So they rather would use the word love.

^But Why the a girl and boy try to marry each other when they are in love? it indicates sexuality and love are related.

When people are young, they are naive and childish,

they think love and true love exists. Its just what the movies teach you.

In the rel world, it does not exist.

Everyone has a self interest or Gharaz.

^i agree with you sir, in real world love affairs r much common then you can imagine...
Any how you did'not differentiate clearly btw sexual desire and love.

the subject of your sexual desires can be replaced but the subject of your affection can not be.

Love is soul and spirit and sex is a human need.

[Levanaye Zalmaye]

Men and women have evolved for around 500,000 or so years for the basic purpose of reproduction and passing on their genes thereby. So masculine features are generally attractive for females and feminine for men. Now the thing is that love is emotional but sexual desire is a part of that.

Sexual desire also exists without love. That's why they say "sex sells". However, love, at one point on another, includes sexual desire. After all, it's very important to find your partner physically desirable, along with being able to be emotionally compatibility of course.

Lastly, if you only have sexual desire for a person and if he/she turns you down, you feel rejected but it doesn't affect you. However, if something goes wrong between you and the person you love, your whole week/month gets ruined!

@KKK, true love means compromising, making sacrifices, giving, taking, becoming selfless, etc.... People take extremely drastic measures for the ones that they love. How can you say it doesn't exist? Whether it exists because of biological reasons, psychological reasons or otherwise, it is there.

And it doesn't hurt to know that it's scientifically proven now that true love can last more than 5,000 years.
