愛欲 aiyoku Lust

愛欲 is passion and sexual desire. In Buddhism it also names attachment, the craving that binds a person to family or to a lover. It is also written 愛慾.

The Japanese word 愛欲 meaning "Lust" is composed of the kanji 愛 (read ai) meaning "love; affection" and 欲 (read yoku) meaning "passion; desire; craving; longing".
