Anthropologist Helen Fisher has spent 30 years studying Love, Lust and Attachment. She's got some good advice. I recommend watching her talks about the biochemistry of love as well.

I necessarily have the passion for writing this, and you have the passion for condemning me; both of us are equally fools, equally the toys of destiny. Your nature is to do harm, mine is to love truth, and to make it public in spite of you. - Voltaire

    I dont feel like watching those clips.
    Can you just paraphrase please?
    ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

    So subtly is the fume of life designed
    to clarify the pulse and cloud the mind
    and leave us once again, undone.. possessed.

    ...
    Be yourself- those who mind dont matter
    and those who matter dont mind.

    The first clip is 22 seconds long, the second clip is 14 seconds.

    The third clip is 24 minutes, but it would probably take me 45 minutes to paraphrase all the information in it, and take you 30 minutes just to read it. :p

    The Full Transcript of the interview with Bingham has much of the same information for your reading pleasure, but it also includes a lot of Lizzy's background, which isn't as important. I'd recommend watching the third clip, or check out http://people.howstuffworks.com/love.htm for some of the same information. The HSW article isn't as good as Fisher's presentation IMO.

    One of the important things she suggests is that Anti-Depressents SSRIs Selective Seratonin Reuptake Inhibitors. Drive the seratonin levels up which reduces sexuality and interferes with orgasms and such. So its a pretty negative side-effect, since sex makes us so happy.

    I want someone to clone the biochemical rush of Jimi's "Manic Depression". I bet it sounds shit.

    I had a girlfriend who was on them and she said she wasnt able to have an even weak orgasm, it was horrible, I felt so bad for her and her hubby.


    I will listen tommorow, when I have the time to devote.

    I read all the arcticles in 10 minutes.

    Good , not great...but then you said the clips were better.
    I liked this point- Sexologist John Money draws the line between love and lust in this way: "Love exists above the belt, lust below. Love is lyrical. Lust is lewd."

    Progress is not made by everyone joining some new fad,
    and reveling in it's loyalty. It's made by forming coalitions
    over specific principles, goals, and policies.
