A Chemical Analysis of Love and the Mechanics Thereof 1/3

Love is not magic.

It takes anywhere from ninety seconds to four minutes for your brain to decide if you fancy someone. Fifty-five percent of that attraction is based on body-language, thirty-eight based on tone and speed of their voice, only seven percent is based on what they actually say. Love is not magic, it’s science. There are three stages:

Lust, stage one; driven by the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen, in both men and women. Webster’s describes it as lust [luhst] noun 1. Intense sexual desire or appetite; 2. Uncontrolled or illicit sexual desire or appetite; lecherousness; 3. A passionate or overmastering desire or craving (usually followed by for): a lust for power; 4. Ardent enthusiasm; zest; relish; an enviable lust for life; 5. Obsolete: a. Pleasure or delight; b. Desire; inclination; wish.

I have a very strong inclination towards John. Upon our first meeting it took two minutes for my mind to decide that and inform my body; five minutes to suppress the desire to take him right there on the exam table, audience be damned.

Instinctual reaction when meeting someone new is to ask two questions (not consciously): Prey or mate? I would later muse over what my triune brain had considered. Prey? No, not prey. Potential mate, then? Possibility. Mutual interest? Extended eye contact; either wants to have sex or to kill me. No other signs of aggression. Mutual interest confirmed. Insistence later that he wasn’t interested in men. Doesn’t matter-most likely a self-delusion, anyways. Easy enough to think of it that way; preferable.
