Topic: is love really a physical or mental euphoria?

Love is an intangible thing, a higher level of mixed feelings of euphoria, which can be triggered by mental or physical/chemical stimulus. I would say engaging and interesting conversation, intellectual conversation or mental connection could be equated to mental intercourse bringing out emotional satisfaction but does not necessarily mean It's love yet it could be a start of real connection that could turn to love. When the thoughts of two people are in line with each other, it brings out a feeling of deeper mental or emotional connection resulting to displaying positive emotional state such as happiness through smile and laughter, inner peace, or a calming effect. Our minds are imaginative and it can trigger reactions depending on the stimulus being fed into your emotional system which could bring out positive responses.

but it seems the emotional aspect isn't in your reasoning

It depends on the nature of the chemistry people share.

Ive had long amazing conversations with guys who I have no physical or romantic attraction to. They stimulate me mentally but not emotionally.

But then there are people you have those long dynanic interactions with , and it really can feel like some kind of foreplay or climax :)

Why are you asking this, pray tell? Just noodling an amusing thought through, or do you have a goal?

The reason I'm asking, is that "love" has a rather large and vague definition. That, and I've been running into people my whole life, who want to QUANTIZE love, and narrow down it's definition, because they are in an(at least imaginary) argument about whether or not something can be called love or not.

Sometimes they just want to be able to say something like "it's just a result of certain brain chemicals," because they want someone else to stop looking for or valuing love elsewhere. There's a great scene in an Al Pacino film, where Pacino has revealed himself as the actual Devil incarnate, and is trying to get Keanu Reeves to forget about his wife, with the claim that love is "Overrated. Biochemically no different than eating large quantities of chocolate."

Well, I cannot argue with your reasoning or understanding of what I have written. I am simply expressing my thoughts or opinion about the topic. And whatever do you mean by the emotional aspect, I don't quite get it, is it not in my reasoning? whoa ohwell Maybe you need to dig more in every word I've written. laugh slaphead

love is all physical, mental and emotional. its starts with physical attraction spiced up with mental stimulation and nurtured through emotional connection.

I have heard a lot that the feelings of intense excitement are received each time guys have good sex, yet, not subjective to whom with.
For women, particularly me, the euphoria of seeing a pair of shoes would fulfill all my sensory desire.

The conclusion is that for short term, love is about the physical lust to men and mental attraction to women.

Okay, you say it's just curiosity, no special goal, so back to the start. My experience is that "mental intercourse" is nothing remotely like physical intercourse, unless you JUST mean in a very esoteric conceptual way.

Now, you do also use the phrase "late night conversations," which could be a euphemism of a sort, and I'm ignoring that. Anyway. No, in my experience with MY feeling love, I only get the "euphoria" sensation on the rare occasions where the woman shows me that she loves ME. When I'm going through the IN LOVE phase or condition or whatever you want to call it, what I feel is closer to intoxication.

As for "best orgasmic releases," or best releases of any kind, love has never been one of them. If anything, love increases tension, desire, sometimes anxiety, confusion.

I've had a lot of fun laughing, but that has never been "orgasmic" for me in any way. Maybe the reason for laughter might separately give someone s sense of release or relief, and it can certainly result in improved blood circulation, but never anything to do with sex. For me, at least.
