Circumstantial lust is the force that carries you through a one-night stand. It is based on a temporary detachment from the intellectual and emotional expressions of everyday life.
This lust has more to do with self-gratification than genuine sexual desire. Its power wanes when life gets back to normal, or the affair becomes routine. And so do those so-called feelings of love that previously felt so strong.Circumstantial lust is common amongst those who are easily influenced by media images, and whose choices are limited by their commitments and positions in society.
