Is love a natural expierience or is it a chemical reaction in the brain or body?

Love is a natural experience. Attraction is a chemical reaction. Attraction is triggered by pheromones. Attraction is a physical desire, while love is an emotional desire. The physical desire goes hand in hand with the chemical reaction. While the emotional desire goes hand in hand with human feeling.

I think that love is real...but it is proven that there are chemical reactions within the brain that wane down after a couple of years...so the one you love becomes more of a trusted companion as opposed to a lover...but i think that love is real, and that there is someone meant for everyone(...i just wish i could find that someone...)

There was actually a very interesting article about the chemistry of love in "National Geographic" magazine a few months back. You should google their website and see if they have any info about it there.\n\nOne interesting note that I recall from the article: the chemical profile of the brains of people who are in love is very much like that of a bipolar person. In other words, love is a psychological disorder.\n\nScary, ain't it?

Love is not a feeling, it is an act, wherein you overcome laziness or fear to do something for a person, be it you or another. Thus love requires effort and/or courage. The fuzzy feeling you feel is not necessarily love, when you feel you can overcome inertia or handle your fears and do something for someone, then you have love.

Throughout history, predominantly, philosophy and religion have speculated the most into the phenomenon of love. In the last century, the science of psychology has written a great deal on the subject. Recently, however, the sciences of evolutionary psychology, evolutionary biology, anthropology, neuroscience, and biology have begun to take centre stage in discussion as to the nature and function of love.\n\nBiological models of sex tend to see it as a mammalian drive, just like hunger or thirst. Psychology sees love as more of a social and cultural phenomenon. Psychologist Robert Sternberg explains that love has three different components. Intimacy is a form where two people can share secrets and various details of their personal life. Intimacy is usually shown in friendships and romantic love affairs. Commitment on the other hand is the expectation that the relationship is going to last forever. This factor of love is shown in empty love (ex. when two people stay together for the sake of their children). The last and most common form of love is simply sex, or passion. Passionate love is shown in infatuation love, as well as romantic love. There are probably elements of truth in both views — certainly love is influenced by hormones (such as oxytocin) and pheromones, and how people think and behave in love is influenced by one’s conceptions of love. Hence, from time immemorial, science, from naturalistic poetry to MRI neurochemistry, has debated the nature of love.

Exact chemical process...?\nNo one has yet discovered it completely\nBut they definetely are inching towards that secret...\nNevertheless what they so far have discoverd or will discover in future is only the chemical changes that happens 'when you love' but what I feel is more elusive is a question of 'what is this Love that makes these chemical changes in brain'...

It is about some hormones that are involved when you love someone.I think that are:estrogen,testosteron,etc. This is why it's called CHEMESTRY OF LOVE.Those hormones are released and they react,so you are feeling atracted or not by someone.

Love is all the states of mind put together into a complex state of bliss...in love one can feel every emotion intensified. Like states of mind which come and go, love does not easily come and easily go, it adheres to all tests of time and patience.

Brain activity isn't measure the same as the physical characteristics of the brain.  I can believe that brain activity for people in love might be the same as those with OCD, but I'm not sure that an MRI would be the way it would be measured.\n\nMy reason for agreeing with the concept??  When you are crazy in love, you are usually obsessed with the other person and often act compulsively.  It stands to reason that the same area of the brain would be in control of that.

Love IS emotional, NOT SEXUAL, and something "indefinable" that you feel in your heart and soul for another person. It's so easy to feel alienated in this MATERIALISTIC, DIVORCE-RIDDEN CULTURE OF OURS, where people, especially celebrities, change partners as often as bedsheets (old saying).  LUST IS purely physical, what you feel when you masturbate alone in your bedroom, or LUSTFUL THOUGHTS WHEN you see someone walking down the street, etc. that REALLY AROUSES THE PHYSICAL DESIRES IN YOU !  We all do it, some DENY that they do it, but IT IS SIMPLY part of our human/animal nature (the urge to procreate, perhaps ?)  You couldn't marry someone you weren't at least SOMEWHAT "turned-on" by, could YOU ?  LOVE IS ALSO IN THE MIX, and that's THAT !!!!!!!

Well, love is just an obbsession as scientist classify it. The brain goes through many emotions and as of such happenings, they get mixed up. Depending on the age of the person effects love as well. Like in teen years, you'll always be 'in love' but for love to work, both people have to be in this 'love' as of one cannot see it as a crush. That just won't do and as well, opposites attract in some cases. :)

Love is a feeling of intensity that just happens naturally. It is acceptance of the other naturally at their best and worst, instant attraction, instant connection, liking all instantaneously and all flowing naturally. \nTo love is a feeling that is irreplacable and to engage in love making with that individual is a feeling that once experienced can never again be duplicated. Constantly thinking and longing for that person when not in each other's presence. When 2gether, they complete you and they are your all, you do not feel as though you are missing anything else in life. You long for no other, and wandering eyes are not in your vocabulary; true love in and of itself is a gift that happens once in a life time and you will know it when it happens.
