É Who wants to send enamorados? Pod Y podemos hacer algo para sentirlo ya?
It is biomedical and neuroscientist enthusiastic, and I plant a highly accredited love pot on the net.
Empecemos by the principle.
Humans are obsessed with love. Pero, qu por qué lo sentimos? ¿Why does love exist?
“Humans are an increasingly cooperative species, but we do not love them, but we do not expect them to survive,” said Dr. Anna Machin, an evolutionary anthropologist at the University of Oxford who researched most of our most recent studies.
The theory is that “in an ideal world, all the specifics of solitaire series are very, very different to cooperate with.”
“Pero hemos desarrollado redes social muy complejas en las que no solo amamos a los amantes, sino también a los nios, la familia, los agigos, las mascotas, Dios, etc. pues necesitamos hacer tres cosas clave:
- sobrevivir,
- subsistirfind our way, build a shelter, create a great range of information
- y create and our incrementally dependent hues.
“The problem is that living with other people is really different.”
“In the first place, you know that there is a dent in a very strict hierarchy, and this means that the largest part of your monitoring time and time are all demos.”
“Además, la gente no es muy amable a veces. Miente, engaña y roba”.
“As a cooperative it is very stressful.”
“Entonces, at the most basic level, love is a biological master formal that the evolutionary idea to ensure that we use and play inverted and mantenemos the relations that we need to sobrevivir “.
And for sobornarnos, biology is associated with chemistry.
The primeros ingrendientes

There are four chemical substances that are responsible for the sensation of love.
“When you start a relationship, there is a moment in which you feel attracted to algae, free oxytocin and dopamine, which are very important at this stage.”
“The oxytocin reduce tus inhibitions to start new social relations, calming the center of your brain, the amygdala “.
Oxytocin is probably the most studied of the four chemical substances. If the llama is colloquially “the drug of love”, in fact the other three substances are equal to the crucifixions that are treated by the love.
“Dopamine is the chemical that compensates for your body, but when it is released in relation to attraction and love, it is for motivationis coming to make an esfuerzo “Before you go charlar with the person you like- pitu la oxytocin is fabulosa, pero si la libera sola, puede hacerte sentir tan relajado que no te molestas en hacer nada”.
Intonations, we eat these chemical products in the field. And there is a third thing that is crucial to the company of a relation: serotonin.
“We think it is associated with the obsessive aspects of love.”
“On the principle of a relation, sensible and obsessive: constant constants of the person, who are with all the time or tempo. how is it “.
But we have a problem.

The effects do not last long.
“Human love can last for decades, with oxytocin and dopamine being fabulous, pero nos volvemos tolerantes a ellas“and their effects do not last much longer”.
The chemical link between the human love and the long-distance love is beta endorphin.
“Lo logra siendo altamente addictive”.
“When interacting with algae that amas -lo tocas, te ríes, lo abrazas-, recibes a massive dose of beta endorphins, y sientes euphoria, calidez, allegría, seguridad … esos sentimientos de estar enamorado. Y luego, cuando te alej de ellos, experimentas el syndermen de syndencia, que te obliga a volver para satisfacer ese anhelo irresistible “.
“Exactly the function of the mass that qualifies as an option”.
Okay, tenemos: oxytocin receptor, dopamine vigorosa, serotonin obsessive and beta endorphin addictive … ¿convendrá agñdir aphrodisíacos?
El deseo
“There is anecdotal evidence far removed from the history of the effects of aphrodisiacs. Pero las pruebas cientifas ne tynden a respaldarla”, said Dr. Kate Lister, and subraya that “is a very different kind of measure in a laboratory.”
“Si consider that algo es aphrodisiac.aco, probably the greenhouse: the placebo effect is documented“, added the sex historian and author of” The Curious History of Sex “.

An antigua idea is that for the most luxurious, hot skin with hot spice or rica in grease.
When many “aphrodisiacs” obtain this status because a small part of their genitals is cut off: asparagus, zanahoria, inclusive skin of rhinoceros follicles and oysters, papaya or hygos, which evoke the vulva.
As Kate’s pareció buena idea include algunos de elos en la pocón, y nos dio otras ideas.
“¿Sabes who soloer tener in the XVI initials fire of the burdels? to give energy to customers “.
Avoid all costs
We have accumulated ingredients, but make a list that accidentally includes one that has all the ingredients. ¿Hay algo que deba evitar?
“As far as history is concerned, it does not seem to matter suppress sexual impulses, necesitabas com alimos insipidos y aburridos -señala Lister-. De ahí provienen los corn flakes u hojuelas de maíz “.
“John Harvey Kellogg, the inventor, was part of a brigade against the final masturbation of the XIX and XX principals, and was one of the reasons why corn flakes“.

No, thank you.
Okay: nustra poción solo admit sabores vibrantes e intensos. Pero, what type of fragrances?
¿Cómo debe oler?
Nunca se había studdiado científamentmenta cómo los ol pder pueden affect e sexual arousal, a pesar de la cantida de perfume que hay, cuenta the neurologist and psychiatrist Alan Richard Hirsch, neurological director of the Investigation Foundation’s Chicago
“Intonations, we take an original study that analyzes medical students and those who present all different types of perfumes, perfumes and colonies and even the blood flow of the pen.”
“As a controller, we think that no tenderness is effective, we use the aroma of the horned cinnamon balls. ¡And plenty of cinnamon creates a major effect that all perfumes have!“.
By the way, Alan established a much larger experiment studying men in the general Chicago population of 18 to 64 years.
“We experimented with all types of perfumes and a set of food and found that …
- The # 1 smell that comes out of the blood flowing from the pen to a combination of lavender and pastel of calabaza.
- El # 2 fue donasy regaliz negro
- El # 3 fue pastel of calabaza and donas“.
Suena raro, ¿por qué será?
“The best theory is that it’s not clear that in our evolutionary stage, people tend to congregate around sites where there is a commotion, and around the comma tends to be a prime opportunity to find money.”
Y, ¿qué de las mujeres?

Un Pastel de calabaza unisex?
Alan hizo otro studio and find that the scent that has the greatest effect only on female sexual arousal comes from a combination of caramelo regaliz y pepino.
For suppuesto, no es tan simple. Each individual responds in a different way.
“Además hicimos el studio en Chicago; la gente de otros lugares probene tiene referencies hedónicas olfativat tem difdèra difet”.
It is important that the power of the current oil.
“I appeal to the visual, which is mediated by the logical part of the brain, in order that the olfato is pure emotion. But as it were, they induce a change in the stage of the enzyme or the emotions of the pain more rapidly than cualquier otra modalidad sensorial, usa el olfato “.
Neurochemicals, aphrodisiacs, aromas … ¿faltará algo más?
The professor of Social Psychology at the University of Anglia Ruskin, Viren Swami, is definitely here.
You decide
“When we think that we are not attracted to the attraction, but the love and the attainment of their relations is an elegy. the science class forms our new relations “.

“People who focus on things like genes and neurocentrism do not have the ability to say ‘you do not like it, you do not have a conscious decision to do it.
“But I have an initial sentiment that can not be controlled, in the last instance, especially enjoyable.”
Here are the words by Erich Fromm, author of “The Art of Love”, which he says: “The love is not one sentimientosino una praktica“.
“El amor por sí solo es inútil”.
“Are you sent in solo and enamorado houses, where can you find genius? Why do you sell to people around the world? that voyeur hacer esto por ellos’, estos demostrando amor y is much more significant “.
This is a philosophical step, but there is a reason: aggregate to the position of all the many abstract ingredients.
Uncha cucharada de free albedríofor empezar, can not only be a single ball of neurochemical programming; una buena pizca de altruisma token of amability, a new communicationetc.
¡Ah, and one’s Last Important!

The latest ingredients.
“The other ingredient that directs it – and it’s been repaired by Erich Fromm – that has no sentiment to count other people as its primary and its purpose.”
¡Listo el brebaje!
These abstract ingredients are derived from the substance tiramisu, hygos and cirrhosis, both of which are aphrodisiacs and are refined by a potent neurochemical cycle of oxytocin, dopamine, serotonin and beta endorphins.
It is aggregated with some of the pastels of calabash for the hairdressers and regularized for the women, so that it is as sexy as the bushes.
In the end, however, the mezcla is no better than the Spanish mosaic love technique served by the Greek antiques or the successive medieval seduction mediums of corrugated iron, sand and other corporal fluids.
Pero aunque nunca esperé poder embotellar amor, tal vez yes podamos aprovechar la recipe.
Liberate these neurochemical swings, abrasions, viviendos, friend and amando. Reconcece que, si bien el amor is an attachment, también is an option, as that is empathetic with demos and amable contigmos mismo … y, si te appetitece, come food that protects the genitals.
