There are so many stories and songs about falling in Love. Literally for hundreds of years people have been writing about falling in Love. I know the feeling but have a very hard time putting it into words myself. Clearly they are not writing about just sex, but something much more. It seems like even science is often baffled by love, but what does research say about falling in Love?
RD Spencer.....There is a TED Talk by Helen Fisher titled "The Brain In Love". It's only about 15 minutes long, but it's actually pretty good. She put 30 or so people who were either in love or had just been dumped into a MRI machine to see how their brains worked. .....David
For me, it comes down to connection. Sex and attraction play a part in making connection, but it's more than sex. It's about learning to care for, appreciate, respect and intimately know another person.
