It was a comparison about how things are perceived and interpreted, that's all. I don't think that the writers would put that in there, if they didn't intend to have the fans all riled up because Danny cheated on Lindsay. I just think it was lust. Doesn't make it intimate and filled with affection. That would imply that they mean much more to each other...which they don't, as they established when Rikki came over to tell Danny that she was moving.
