Helen Fisher's secrets of love

Ahnimus

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.

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.

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."
