I'm sure they do. But some may be as the street walkers use to say in the Philippines. "GI you want #10 short time or long time?" The term #10 meant a very good fucking. Short time meant an hour or less. Long time meant all night. Never heard one of them ask if any one wanted a #9, or #8, always #10.

Is it possible? Real, actual love (whatever your particular definition of that term may be)? No. Not if the relationship is exclusively online. Lush is a merry-go-round of online-only relationships and the drama is just a lot of stupidness.
Now, toss in some texting, phone calls, a meet up or twenty...then yes, I imagine it might be possible, even probable. Certainly Milik/Simplicity and Verbal/LaylaJune are excellent examples of this (also, of the man definitely marrying up, in both cases).
Me? I am too much of a cynic, too complicated and too careful, to fall in love anywhere, online or off. With anyone. Ever.

There is something to be said about revealing your "dirty secrets" to a person who loves that about you. Who makes you feel normal, protected, safe and loved. Lush allows you to be yourself without any filter. And when you meet someone that you enjoy without their real life filters, it can create an intimacy unlike anything most will ever have in our daily physical life. I don't like to call life outside of lush "real life" as life on Lush can be real as well.
People come here that are "in love" with their partners in their physical lives but say they cannot share Lush with them. It always makes me wonder what they are hiding from each other and what would happen if they just shared all their secrets. If there isn't truth in their relationship, is it truly a fully committed loving relationship? I'm not saying those couples don't love each other, but it seems a surface level love based more on tradition, convenience, obligation, affection, finances, etc. Those relationships don't seem like they are the Romeo and Juliet type of 'I'll die if I can't have you' kind of love.
Yes, love is rare. But after experiencing the depth of affection, lust, and love that I have with my love here, and comparing that to past "loves" that I've actually touched, there is no doubt in my mind who is my real life love.
Yes, you can get hurt here. But that can happen anywhere. Yes, there are liars here. But there are liars everywhere.
Yes, you can find love here. Love happens whenever two people connect at a soul level and put in the work to make it continue to grow. It takes incredible amounts of work, time, tears, heart and total commitment, but it can bring you a love like you never imagined could exist-not even in your best daydreams.
And that is truly rare anywhere.
Yes it can happen and while it's true that there is something special about finding a person here who loves you for your openness to sexuality, there is more to a relationship and even if that all falls seemingly perfect into place, they can still deem you unfit once you meet in person...
Yes, most definitely. That's the thing about falling in love, we really have no control over it. The heart wants what the heart wants... that said, I think it has to be taken outside of lush for it to grow, obviously.
Cate I couldn't agree more. The mind is the most sensual arousal and feelings grow real in this virtual world.

yes they can... the heart will decide what it wants...
Yes... um... maybe. What I can feel happening currently feels a lot like falling in love.
My head says there's a difference between online love and falling in love in the flesh, even if, in the moment, the feelings are indistinguishable.
My heart says fuck it, enjoy the ride.
You totally can, I met someone here, fell in love here. I admit at first I was skeptical, worried that it would only be lust, but that simply wasn't the case. We've known each other three years, been dating for 6 months, it is great. I very much love him, and we never would have met if not for lush. So, yea, you can totally fall in love on Lush.
I once met someone online and we fell hopelessly in love. We took things offline and even moved in together. We even met our respective parents. The whole thing lasted in the neighborhood of eleven years, eight of which we physically shared.
Given the chance, I'd do it again.
Meeting online isn't much different than meeting in a bar. The emotions behind the screen are no less real and run just as deep. Sure there are challenges just like in any relationship, but if you click you figure out how to deal with them.

You better believe it!!!...I have fallen in love with my girlfriend...feels so real at times, in fact most of the time. It's never going to be easy...but is any relationship easy?...jealousy creeps in from time to time...again like RL.
You have to trust your other half and be honest with your feelings.

Life is not a rehearsal!! Most people have no idea what love is. If you look at most relationships you will notice that they fall under the category of "fish love"
never easy to find the right one but when you do patience and trust so important
Of course you can -- on the basis that people link and find an attraction on here, continue to develop a relationship, AND then meet. Love can grow from there...
Absolutely, love is an emotional connection and the written word has power. What's haunting me is that with the right chemistry, I can read nuance .
I just love, LOVE. hehehe
No, it's a stupid notion.
In the world's harsh wear and tear many a very sincere attachment is slowly obliterated.

I'm not sure that I could, but I think that trying to define love for all people is probably an impossible task.
