Love for the object of the opposite sex is such a multifaceted and complex concept that it can be compared to the network model of the axis. At the lower, physical level, hormones and nerve impulses that control the psyche are transmitted. Channel - the level of sexual and emotional arousal, the layer between physical and psychic. A little higher is the network, the level at which the senses are turned on and working during the falling in love, and the fourth, the transport level - the level of sensations, tactile and visual contact. Session level - hugs, kisses and sex. The level of ideas - the idealization of the object of love, the image in the brain, various fetishes, all that subconscious, without which you can not live. And the upper, applied level is “I love you”, all other words, songs, poems and works of art about love, conscious incarnation.
Without the lower levels, there will be no upper levels, and without the upper levels, only a portion of that feeling will remain. Everything comes together.
