  12. Iwan Bloch 1907 • “To do justice to the whole importance of love in the life of the individual and in that of society, and in relationship to the evolution of human civilization, this particular branch of inquiry must be treated in it’s proper subordination as a part of the general science of mankind, which is constituted by the union of all other sciences…”

Sigmund Freud (1856 –1939) • Austrian physician • "Three Essays on the Theory of Sex" • Describes ‘normal’ development of human sexuality and "perversions” • “Sex drive" undergoes process of "maturation" - various "partial drives" become subordinated to the goal of mature "genitality" • Three phases of his process: • Oral phase • Anal phase • Phallic phase

  23. Our Sexual Life

  24. Biological Imperatives • Included are the following hierarchy of biological imperatives for a living organism:  • Survival, territorialism, competition, quality of life seeking, group forming • Pair bonding • Reproduction

  25. The Context of Understanding Sexual Life • Individual Psychology(Associated with each of our unique set of sexual thoughts, feelings, and behaviors) • Biology (Our sexual traits or temperament, aging, diseases and psychological control of our physiology. The mind in conflict operates through unknown brain mechanisms.) • Interpersonal relationships(Sexual behavior is conducted within a broader nonsexual context) • Sexual equilibrium(We react to our capacity to respond) • Culture(Though not well understood, the fact that culture shapes us is irrefutable) • But…….What turns us on!!

  26. Love • In the same way Psychology has its origins in philosophy, love has been poked, prodded and investigated more by poets, song writers, cultural anthropologists and sociologists than by scientists

  27. Love - (It’s the Study of the heart NOT Cardiology) • Sing • Dance • Legends, myth and stories • Potions, charms • Live • Kill • Die • Helen Fisher, PhD

  28. “What t’is to love?”(Shakespeare-As You Like It)It is to be all made of sighs and tears; And so am I for Phebe. • A person takes on a special meaning • Overestimating the differences between one women and another (G B Shaw) • Focus on this person • Love is blind (G Chaucer) • Dependence • Craving to be with this person • Motivation • Obsession

  29. Is There a Science of Falling in Love • Lust (Dopamine)(Estrogen/testosterone) • Similar to the state induced by taking opiates • Mating • “Intolerable Neural Itch” (W. H. Auden) • Romantic love (Oxytocin) • Infatuation, romantic love, passionate or obsessive love • Pair bonding • Attachment (Oxytocin released during sex) • Parenting • Feelings of calm, security, comfort and emotional union

  30. Addicted to Love (Robert Palmer 1986) • Your lights are on, but you're not home • Your mind is not your own • Your heart sweats, your body shakesAnother kiss is what it takes • You can't sleep, you can't eatThere's no doubt, you're in deep • Your throat is tight, you can't breathe

  31. Is There a Science of Falling in Love- Problems • Ideally these go together but not necessarily • Casual sex resulting in orgasm causes a spike in dopamine and oxytocin

  32. “We were not built to be happy but to reproduce.” (Helen Fisher, PhD) • These three systems can work simultaneously — with dangerous results • “…you can feel deep attachment for a long-term spouse, while you feel romantic love for someone else, while you feel the sex drive in situations unrelated to either partner.”
