Do you think this is a good test to see if someone really is in love?

23 Comments

There are a lot of people who think they are in love, but it's actually just lust or infatuation. Such people make major mistakes and end up heartbroken or in terrible relationships later on.

My idea is to get two "lovebirds" and chemically castrate them, that is, inject them with drugs that temporairly puts their sex drive to sleep (but doesn't destroy it). Then put them together. If the feeling still lasts, it's love. If it dies down, it's just lust.

Do you think this is a good idea?

It's a good idea	17
It's a good start, but flawed	18
Not a good idea	13
It sucks.	16

Help us keep this site organized and clean. Thanks!

Interesting idea, but it's flawed in assuming that infatuation is -only- sexual desire. It can be, but consider online crushes where a person may not know what the other looks like.

  And that's saying that every single person and individual relationship has the SAME type of love and feelings. You can't standardize something as vague as that. Plus, I think sex is an important part of a loving relationship. If someone I'm dating doesn't wanna have sex, I don't let myself fall in love with them. There is just a very deep connection made when you make love to someone rather than just fucking them to get off.

The only true test of love...is life. The ups and downs and farts and annoying family members and the difficult times and insecurities and the growing old and saggy and unattractive together, but still having a laugh. It takes time to figure it out, to determine if it is real. If it was easy as some simple test, everyone would have it.

    *Injects you with straight up American...one part bacon, two parts ignorance, book and swear word rejecting antibodies, side effects include people of Walmart back titties.
    
    *watches you seize and go into anaphylactic shock...the only cure would be an injection of hawt American fluids riddled with Aussie sarcasm.

Yeah...no...

I fell for my boyfriend based on who he was. Seeing as we are long term long distance with long periods between when we can see each other, I think we auto pass. As will many couples.

What about couples that stay happily together despite no sex life?

Also, why do you even care about other people's personal lives?

  I know that relationships aren't all about sex: If it is, you're not doing it right. That's why I proposed temporary chemical castration to see if they match even without sexual feelings.

    You propose injecting someone with chemicals which may potentially cause them harm, in order to test something that is none of anyone else's business to control, and could be and is easily done in normal, healthy relationships.
    
    Yeah. Good one.

You're thinking of something like salt-Peter. Chemical castration is permanent.

Anyway, not saying I agree with this but I had a professor who said everyone should have one or two lustful relationships before they look for love so that they can tell the difference.

If my sex drive goes down any lower, you might as well just amputate my Doc McStuffins

Why not give them a "poisoned water" not actually. And say one of them has to drink or their both dead. And if they try to save each other then their in love. If one or both try to save themselves then you got your answer

        I wasn't thinking of love - how about lust? Or just a cuddle?

Are You Normal?

Do you think this is a good test to see if someone really is in love?
