Emotion: Love
"Estrogen is important in female precopulatory behaviors in 3 m ways: 1) estrogen increases a female's willingness to approach a male to induce solicitatious behaviors, 2) estrogen can enhance the "attractivity" of the female: estrogen priming can induce the production of stimuli that make her more attractive to the male (odors or pheromones, vocalizations), and 3) estrogen 'primes' for progesterone." http://www.umich.edu/~psycours/531/becker.chapter3.htm You may read that and presume that love has a hormonal or chemical basis. I thought the same thing for a second. It seems to make things look artificial, as though we could control love by manipulating bodily chemicals. A female would only need to take estrogen in order to become more femanine. A male would only need to take testosterone to become more manly. I can't say which comes first, the emotion or the hormonal response to an emotion. Emotion probably lies deeper and is the basis for how we really feel. We probably have a destiny which guides us into the love we may find. I'm not confident that it can be played with like chemicals in a flask.
