Meet Karina Farek - an amazing animator and illustrator, who likes deep sea fish, werewolves, anime, Billy Joel, and cold weather. She recently created a series of 'Lust vs. Love' illustrations, which was commissioned College Humor and we couldn't help sharing it with you!
The illustrations perfectly depict the passion and deep affection that a person feels when in love, while when in lust, all they feel is an intense desire for gratification. Farek compared these two feelings by illustrating them in the same situations. Keep on scrolling to take a look at her understanding of lust and love. Don't forget to vote for your favorites!

Notice how in the first he is looking at het buttocks and in the second into her eyes 😊?
at the first he is looking to the left, which means he is lying... not to her butt :)

I don't know about you, but I'd probably bang Katy Perry while she was eating a burrito.
I love this so much, my husband says I'm beautiful, even when I'm at my worst.
Women want a pure love , men are realistic in what they want & are lecherous until they fall in love with a person so much that they don't care what they are getting physically & just express themselves which makes women happy 😊
Her complementing him to show she is into it vs both of them in a moment like one person. It takes a lot for women to let go of walls to reach here many a times & men are just too cozy with jokes..lol
The first one means hes making an expression how sexy her body looks even though she's at him how funny he's doing it and second one means they both laughing hard out of love and having a good time together
I think it's the "she fell over from laughing so hard" love.

Complementing him over general things vs complementing him in all things as if he is hers
He giving her flowers because how sexy she looks and the second one means he gave her the tampons because he love hers.
Again, why not have both? First the first bubble and then the second sounds like a perfect evening. Well, add food to it for a perfect evening.
I don't think these cartoons are necessarily about having one or the other. More how each is expressed. I think a healthy dose of both lust and love makes the perfect relationship :)

Sex desire to me is a natural effect of being in love, and to me, it is also connected to my desire for pregnancy and having a baby. When I was a teenager, until say 24, I used to make a strict distinction between lust and love. I wanted cuddles. When you are in your thirties your biochemistry changes and I noticed I was thinking a lot about motherhood, and I wanted to get married and have children. I began to actually enjoy sex and to really love a man at around 30. So don't call it lust when a guy think of sex instead of becoming interested in kitten.
The first one means he's having sex thoughts how beautiful she looks and the second one means he's having thoughts how much he loves her
It seems that the artist believes that love is not sexual. This is a complete misunderstanding of how real relationships work. People NEED to feel desired in all aspects of a relationship and sex is a very important part of that.
I think that lust and a strong bond both comprise love. Typically, lust comes first, then turns into love. Having sex with soemone you think is hot is different than having sex with someone you love.

Load More Replies...The second picture is half true. Except for the fact that i'm not dealing with the toilet. I'm dealing with the cockroaches. And grasshoppers. And butterflies. Insects, literally. Yes, my husband are afraid of them.
She can, but those cases are much rarer. Women get paid and promoted less, and the ones who have children are set back in their careers.
Load More Replies...I doubt there's anyone out there who would do that for there partners...
Basically lust one means he's paying the food for her because she's sexy and the second one means she helping him because she loves him.
would have been better if both weren't such gender specific stereotypes, e.g. if HE was cleaning he loo, or she was paying
Except... SHE is fixing the toilet that's a plunger, generally a male role.
Load More Replies...Wouldn't lust be more like, "let yourself out in the morning", and love be more like "all night long and then again in the morning?"
Let's do nothing we are in love.....calling of base instincts because another may not be in mood. So let's create that feel so both enjoy... Wait that's evil lust actuating to create love. Hahaha
Basically the lust one means he wanted to have sex with her because how beautiful she looks and the second one means he wanted to have sex with her because how much he loves her
I've seen the original. In case your wondering what the censor is, its f**k.
Nuclear rofl...I finally managed to get myself insulted on the Interwebs. Over a harmless Boared Panda comment. Thank god I do not comment on youtube.
Load More Replies...Mêh pretty black and white. I laughed hardest at the comment of Sill at #3 As if lust cannot be mixed with love. I feel lust is an essential part of a love relationship
I think they're a nice way to show how a relationship changes and that love is the more everyday things couples can do for each other because their relationship has progressed past the superficial.
Your interpretations are very well thought out. Good job. Keep at it! (And always ignore the whiny, jealous jerks who are so disillusioned with their own sad lives they tear down everyone else; especially those like you, who go for it.)
