Love – how does it work?
Have you ever thought what is love? I am sure that the
answer sounds yes. Well known German musician Haddaway sang the song which all
we know -“What is love”. People have wondered about love since ancients times. All of us know the feeling of being fall in love
with proverbial butterflies in stomach, long looks in eyes or characteristic
and magical prick in heart. What is the researchers opinion about love who head
for knowledge and rational thinking? Love is does not exist! Everything what we feel is a
chemical and biological processes.
Against general belief that love initiate from touch
incentives we should know that firstly we are responsive for flavor of the
other person. Our natural smell of body consist of inodorous pheromons.
Pheromons are the chemical factors that triggers a social response in members
of the same species. Knowledge insufficiently answer for all questions about influence pheromons on our
organism however we know we can attract opposite sex by
this magical factor.
How does it work? The smell stimulate the small and
auxiliary olfactory sense vomeronasal organ called also as Jacobson’s organ
which is located close to the vomer and nasal bones. Afterwards the hypothalamus is activated. The hypothalamus is the part of our brain which contains of small nuclei
with variety of functions such as connection the nervous system and endocrine
system.

What is next? If our pheromons and pheromons of the
other person suit, our cells will become luminous what is proven by PET computerized tomography. The effect of this processes is phenetyhlamine
hormone secretion. High level of this natural
organic compound caused feeling of happiness, self-confidence and exhilaration.
The side effect is lack of concentration, insomnia or feeling of anxiety. Is worth to know that phenetyhlamine
belong to amphetamine group of chemical substances therefore it is possible to
addict to love.
Besides of phenethylamine our organism produce
norepinephrine, dopamine and serotonin – brainy hormones. Under the influence of
norepinephrine body feels similar such as on being in adrenaline situations.
We feel intensively beat of heart, growing blood pressure and increased glucose
level. We become more sensitive. However the most important is dopamine because
it send signals to other nerve cells. Dopamine called as a happiness
hormone plays main role in reward-motivated behavior, Dopamine respond for a chemical
processes in our brain, control activities of body and ability to feel
happy. The last hormone is serotonin
which level in our body decrease with increasing level of dopamine. Thanks to dopamine we
keep calm, can sleep whole night and concentrate.

If we fall in love, we
will feel excitement and a lot of happiness. It is wonderful feeling which
researchers explain as a biochemical process. What is your opinion about love?
Do you go by a heart or rational thinking? Do you think that it is an ordinary
process or something more magical?

Personally I am focused on rational thinking and I think that is how men works on general. I am just surprised with pheromones that have to fit with other person pheromones. I think that relationship is very important in everyone lives, even in books written by Brian Tracy is said that man have the best years of his life during his 40s, 50s when he set a family and children, and this is the time when he is much more productive at work then he was in his 20s.
We are very similar to animals and in this area we work similarly. Since there is few stages of relationship, and the last one is attachment and commitment there is bigger need that just fitting pheromones to each other, because someones behaviour makes bigger role.
Unpopular opinion (probably), but I've always thought love existed to keep the human race alive and sane. Life isn't easy and things go wrong most often than not; it's easy to feel hopeless and helpless. If a biochemical reaction/love gives us confidence and strength to keep the world turning, then it's really great science. I'm usually more spiritual about things, but it's really amazing how many neat little'fuses' the human body has to keep existing.
Whether love is something purely biological or mystical, the result is all the same: it's powerful and beautiful in its design.
I've often heard that rational thinking kills the 'magic' of all things, but I actually think the opposite. I think that scientific knowledge does not lessen the feeling of wonder we experience - on the contrary, it always makes me admire it even more. Just a few slight chemical changes in your brain and - whoosh! - you feel something extraordinary and beautiful.
I think that it's important to know the mechanisms behind the feelings - not only chemical and biological, but also psychological and cognitive. It can help you deal with emotions, especially negative ones, in a non-destructive way.
(sorry, I don't want to spoil the strenght-to-keep-the-world-turning thing! :))
And yes, acknowledging that emotions, while mostly illogical, work in certain, more or less predictable ways helps a lot. Our life doesn't have to be ruled by them.
I know its something chemical(seratine dopamine and adrenaline), but I also think theres something more to it. After all we dont fall in love with everyone we find pretty.
Myself I belive in love, in my everyday life I try to be rational and behave like it. But everyonce in a while we all do something thats right by our heart.
So what Im trying to say is that pheromones rule our lives.
Do you remember the title of movie? I don't know it and I'm willing to watch it.
Addiction to love? Interesting. So can it be cured? :P
I think it is a little bit of biochemical process and a little of thing, which we can’t to interpret.
Anyway this is something unique and very nice. Even scientists do not deny of it.
Great presentation, great topic. Thank you. No one never told me about love In this way.
which cant be cought by microscope :) For me love is such a complex feeling I wouldnt dare to limit it to only biochemical process.

Now seriously speaking. Nobody knows what love is. It might be a purely evolutionary instinct, it might be something more but more importantly I think your article is not describing love but desire, and that’s hardly the same thing. Not to mention – people fall in love with persons they never seen in person thanks to the internet. I don’t think you could explain that with pheromones. Maybe not everything we experience in life can or should be explained with chemistry but I’m sure there’s a study that proves me wrong.

Love in our culture is one of basic topic and main life goals. Music, movies, the whole mass culture is based on LOVE. It become too much comercial in my opinion. Let people love without all presure around this topic.
