Romance › Re: Crazy Things Love Does To Your Brain by FairCritic(m): 7:23am On Oct 31, 2019 |
Saturn101: Love can make you have feeling of euphoria. Great, right? But it can also make you feel foolish, happy, obsessed, distracted, passionate, and exhausted. All these are some of the things love does to your brain.
When you fall in love with someone, a whole host of changes are taking place in your brain and body to create all that passion and euphoria. Some of the effects are however not so pleasant.
These are some of the effects of love normal human beings have:
1. Falling in love causes a major hormone rush. When you first fall in love, you experience a rush of hormones to the brain including oxytocin, the love hormone, the pleasure hormone dopamine, and sex hormones like estrogen and testosterone. Other hormones, like adrenaline, make the heart beat faster. This influx of hormones plays a major role in those intense feelings of fluttery excitement, attraction and euphoria.
2. Now, this is quite serious. Love can become an addiction. Falling in love can lead to cravings and obsessive thoughts, and the desire to spend every moment with your partner. That is obsessive. Now, neuroscience research has shown that love quite literally is like a drug: Falling in love activates the same system in the brain as cocaine addiction.
Romantic love is an obsession, as you may not be able to stop thinking about another human being.
3. Love can make you lose focus. Anyone who has been in love knows that it can be more than a little distracting, and now we understand why. Neuroscientists have linked passionate love with intense changes in emotion and attention, as well as reduced cognitive control meaning that you are less able to control your attention.
4. Love can strengthen your empathy and ability to process emotions. The type of love thats cultivated through the practice of loving-kindness meditation activates the brains empathy and emotion-processing centers, while also reducing activity in brain areas associated with self-focused thought. Loving-kindness meditation also gets us in touch with our feelings by increasing gray matter volume in brain areas associated with emotion processing.
5. Different stages of love can change your brain activity differently. A study published in 2018 in the journal Frontiers in Human Neuroscience found that MRI scans could be used to accurately determine what stage of romantic love a person was in based on their brain activity. While falling in love activates the brains reward center, breaking up decreases activity in the reward center, and also causes sharp decreases in activity and functional connectivity in a part of this center that's associated with expectation of rewards.
6. Love can get in your brain and stay there for life. A 2011 study found similar activity in certain brain regions among longtime, happily married couples and among couples who had recently fallen in love. The researchers suggest that these brain regions might provide clues as to how some couples stay deeply in love for decades.
7. Love activates the opioid system. Romantic love and attraction can activate the brains opioid system which is the part of the brain involved in liking something. Scientists have suggested that this system may have evolved to help us choose the best mate by giving rise to rewarding feelings when we see that potential partner. 8. Love can make your serotonin take a nosedive. Research has associated romantic love with low serotonin levels, which is also a central feature of obsessive-compulsive disorder. This could play a role in explaining the single-minded focus on the object of their affection that many lovers experience.
Whatever could be the plusses or minuses, human beings will keep falling in love. That is the greatest gift.

Romance › Re: Is Bride Price Still Relevant? by FairCritic(m): 7:19am On Oct 31, 2019 |
boxer022: To my little understanding, bride price is still very important and encouraged because that is the only thing that shows that a man has given out his daughter in marriage. The only problem with it is that some parents will like to be like Dangote from bride price and after collecting a huge amount of money, if there is problem in the future, they will not be able to pay back. When my junior sister was getting married, my father told our in-laws that the bride price (Money) is #10,000 which they brought. Out of it he took only #1,000 and returned back the remaining #9,000 telling them that if by tomorrow they mess up or do anything bad to my sister, that any body among us can afford #1,000 to return back to him and take back our daughter. So in the case where for instance he took #1,000,000 as bride price and tomorrow they mess up, how will he pay them back? Your postulation appears to make sense. |

Awesome05: Incest
Incest is sexual relationship between male and female that are blood related. It could be between brother and sister, father and daughter, mother and son, and so on. In many cultures, the act is forbidden and is seen as a taboo.
Recently, there is a rise in cases of incest. People are beginning to undermine the inhibition and committing the act more than ever. Simply put, some now seem NOT to see anything wrong in such an affair.
In the United States of America, incest is criminalized except in the States of New Jersey and Rhode Island. Even in those two States, there was an outrage over the legality that two consenting adults, even if related, could have sex.
In view of all these, would you say incest should be erased? Can you be honest and say you have never been involved in incest?
