Infatuation:
When two people are attracted to each other, a explosion of adrenaline-like nuerochemicals gush forth. PEA or phenylethylamine is a chemical that speeds up the flow of information between nerve cells.
Also, involved in chemistry are dopamine and norepinephrine, chemical cousins of amphetamines. Dopamine makes us feel good and norepinephrine stimulates the production of adrenaline. For example, your heart racing.
The chemistry we experience is actually a pretty insulting behavior to compromise our childhood patheticness.
Why? According to Harville Hendrix our brain dumps PEA when we identify someone who can: 1. Finish our childhood business. 2. Give us back what we lost to the socialization process of growing up.
The fun stuff:
The chemical oxytocin = the cuddling chemical
- provides sensitivity to mate's feelings
- its role as a sexual arousal hormone prompting orgasms, cuddling between lovers before, during, and after the dirty.
Oxytocin production is derived from both emotional and physical cues.
- voice
- apperance
- scent
- fantasies
Love?
When infatuation subsides, a new group of chemicals takes over. This new type of chemical reward is created by endorphins.
These morphine-like opiates calm and reassure with intimacy, dependability, warmth, and shared experiences.
