Three Stages Of Love by slimpuppy(m): 8:07pm On Aug 06, 2006 |
Stage 1: Lust Lust is driven by the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen. Testosterone is not confined only to men. It has also been shown to play a major role in the sex drive of women. These hormones as Helen Fisher says "get you out looking for anything". Stage 2: Attraction This is the truly love-struck phase. When people fall in love they can think of nothing else. They might even lose their appetite and need less sleep, preferring to spend hours at a time daydreaming about their new lover. In the attraction stage, a group of neuro-transmitters called 'monoamines' play an important role: Dopamine - Also activated by cocaine and nicotine Norepinephrine - Otherwise known as adrenalin. Starts us sweating and gets the heart racing Serotonin - One of love's most important chemicals and one that may actually send us temporarily insane Discover which type of partner you're attracted to by taking our face perception test. Stage 3: Attachment This is what takes over after the attraction stage, if a relationship is going to last. People couldn't possibly stay in the attraction stage forever, otherwise they'd never get any work done! Attachment is a longer lasting commitment and is the bond that keeps couples together when they go on to have children. Important in this stage are two hormones released by the nervous system, which are thought to play a role in social attachments |

Am i the only one who thinks attraction comes before lust or is it because i see attraction as the power of drawing one closer to something b4 you start lusting after it and once tasted, it becomes an addiction hence attachment |

You know one thing I'd like to tell you. When yu feel uncontrolable attraction towards sombody at the begining of a relationship, then that is lust not love. Love grows between two people. I think you've heard about the saying that says the best person you can marry is your best friend. Naturally afriend is someone you love and can forgive and forgive and forgive. You got what I mean? If you take note, most people that feel attracted to each other at the begining of their relationship break up after having enough of what attracted them. Sex. That's all I gatta say. |

luvlymoi: It depends on the person, please. It could be even be attachment (out of fear,insecurity or adulation) and then attraction and finally lust/love. |
