Love is a human feeling and an emotional experience. [1] Love is the strongest expression of affection for a particular person. [2] [3] Yet love can be divided from different perspectives. Emotional love is usually deep. Sharing all your human feelings with someone special, even the matter of the body, cannot be separated from this kind of love. Love can be of many kinds, such as: unconditional love, religious love, love for relatives, extra affection for a pet or object at home can be very pleasurable at times ... even for a job or food. And this very pleasurable feeling is love.
The biological model of sex is thought to be a drive by mammals that is like excessive hunger or thirst. Helen Fisher is a leading expert on love. He divides the experience of love into three partially overlapping stages: for example, lust, attraction, and attachment. Desire is a kind of feeling for fulfilling sexual desire. Romantic attraction largely depends on how attractive a person's partner is. Moreover, there are other issues involved, such as staying at home at the same time, duties towards parents, mutual protection and feelings of security. Neural circuits, neurotransmitters, and three behavioral patterns combined with these three romantic styles all play an effective role.
Desire is the initial stage of sexual desire that releases chemicals such as testosterone and estrogen. Its effects last for weeks or months. Attraction is more individualized and romantic for a particular partner, through which a distinct longing develops. Recent studies in neuroscience have shown that people fall in love primarily when their brain regularly releases a certain set of chemicals. For example, the neurotransmitter hormones, dopamine, norepinephrine, and serotonin may be mentioned. Amphetamine releases the same substance that activates the central part of the brain, increases the heart rate, decreases appetite and sleep, and increases arousal. Studies have shown that this stage usually lasts for one and a half to three years.
Since the stages of desire and attraction are considered temporary, a third stage is needed for a long-term relationship. Attachment is a type of bond that causes a relationship to last for many years or even decades. Attachments are generally based on commitments such as marriage or childbearing. Moreover, the relationship lasts because of mutual friendship or sharing of preferences. Studies have shown that long-term relationships emit more chemical oxytocin and vasopressin than short-term relationships. Enzo Emanuel and his colleagues report that the prostate molecule, known as Nerve Enhancement Factor (NGF), is much higher when people first fall in love, but a year later they return to their previous level.
Platonic love or spiritual love is the purest love so that there is no place for lust. Plato himself did not use such a phrase. The phrase is based on his philosophy. In Plato's philosophy it is said that love which will elevate two lovers from physical attraction to spiritual bond will enter the highest stage. In that stage of love the body is absent, but full love will prevail. This philosophy of Plato was given a slightly different form by his one-time student Aristotle. According to his theory, the best is love where sexuality is absent from the beginning. Only the bond of the heart. It is also called the love of friendship. This love is completely odorless, it just gives up and takes nothing. Such unconditional love, that love, like the emperor, just gives with two hands, takes nothing. In order to gain it, one has to endure long waits and sufferings. In such love there is no need, there is only eternal love. Sex has no place in platonic love. This love is the highest stage of love. This is an intense love when love feels like heavenly bliss.
