Love is one person being stupid for another. BTW, I don't read love books yet my interest for the books I read increases daily. I read books of great men e.g Niccolo Machiavelli-The Prince of Florentine republic, Mafia manager-Mario Puzo etc books like this have no love scene but are of high value nd are written by great men for great men. Certainly such books will bore you because they're really way beyond your comprehensive ability. Your country is in a terrible mess yet all you're bothered bout is open thread on love/romance scenes of silly books. Some times I hate girls sincerely

Love is the most important thing in life.

Our Holy Book tells us this........
You do know that's a different type of love right? OP is basically talking of lust not love.
Godly love goes beyond dating and whatnots.

The reason is that it gives a clearer picture and understanding on what love is all about.

Rubbish. That means you are not a reader with good taste. Readers of now (the ones with taste) look for realistic storyline and hate seeing shit like; love at first sight, I love a man who treats me like trash, I fall in love with a bad boy and all that trash love of course must happen but the art of love making being in books or movies appals me nowadays, if I want to watch two people having sex there is porn hub, as a writer I stopped adding those shits because it is just plain stupid fvcked generation driven by sex only.

But the Godfather had love scenes oh. But to me those things are irrelevant to readers with taste, a good storyline is one of the greatest drives to read books.

Lol he spoke of religious love. I simply helped disambiguated the two.
Even lust is still a form of love although a self-centered one. Godly love on the other hand is not self-oriented.
Both are important anyway.

Love scenes are important but must be played by competent actors and actresses. Nigerian actors are half baked also partly because of our money for love values, romantic scenes are not appealing
Re: 5 Reasons Love Scenes Are Important In Storytelling by BillionaireTalk: 8:21am On Feb 19, 2020
Noted, I'll keep this in mind when creating my movie
gracile:
Humans are emotional beings and are constantly looking for love; this, they do consciously or subconsciously. People are driven by love and this dictates how we perceive, feel and respond to anything. The need to love and feel love is inherent in everyone everywhere so much so that we’re drawn to whatever or whomever meets this need.
Try to imagine a world without love.. It’s terrible! Whatever speaks this language of love appeals to us more than a loveless alternative. This is why we tend to prefer some music, movies, people or books more than others.
If you love to read or write, especially fiction, you’ll most likely agree that stories with no elements of physical attraction are boring and simply vapid and I’m tempted to say almost pointless. I for one can’t read five chapters of a book without a lil bit of romance every now and then.
Okay apart from the obvious romantic exuberance, I’ll be sharing with you 5 reasons why love scenes are important in storytelling.

1. It gets your readers addicted to your story

Romance has time and again proved to be potent at capturing attention. Whether it’s from the news headlines or a gossip column in a magazine, people can’t resist the story of two people who have deep affection for each other. When your story has one or more persons in love, your readers are compelled to love these characters more. This makes them glued to your story as they want to follow through to see how this love unfolds.

2. It makes your characters come alive

Your characters might be fictional but when you make them capable of feeling passion, they seem more real and alive. In fact, some of us have wished a character was indeed real because of how much we connected with them, their struggles, loss, pains, love, joys etc. So next time you writing a story you might want to spice up your protagonists part with some romance. They may seem to go in search for it or simply neglect the concept while all the while everyone (your readers) know they’re in love with another character but just won’t admit it. And the scenarios go on and on.

3. It immortalizes your story (or character)


This is no doubt the secrets of our favorite classics; the likes of Romeo Juliet, Marilyn Monroe, Jack and Rose etc. The love roles this characters featured rendered them timeless. Most people would even recall the names of characters and forget their authors. Yes, such is the power of love.

4. It teaches life lessons

Because people would rather learn from someone else’s mistakes than theirs. Countless times I have applied lessons learned from such stories to real life relationship issues and they helped! This, if done with wisdom, could shape relationships for the better. So that your stories are entertaining as well as informative.

5. It builds empathy

Reading and writing is all about empathy. Once the writer has successfully entered into the mind of his readers and the reader, the authors’, mission accomplished. Readers like to accredit the term favorite authors to writers who they understand and who understands them. The trick is, your readers relate with you based on how they could relate with your characters. So make them fall in love with your characters by blowing their minds away with breathtaking romance plots.

For what other reasons do you love to read or write stories with love plots?
