How does Romantic Love Differ from Sexual Love

A detailed Summary of How does Romantic Love Differ from Sexual Love

Loving ourselves is sometimes seen as an impossible barrier to loving others, others see it as a necessary step towards being able to love others, as in the popular saying, "You have to love yourself before you can love others." Clearly both excessive self-love and self-scorn can kill romance. . Human love relations involve very complex dynamics. We, tend to take ourselves into different world when the word "love" comes to our mind. The love we have for our family or freinds is totally different from the love we feel for our soul mates.

We are attracted sexually to our lovers, we feel insecure in relationships so we always tend to ask and need repeated reassurance of our love and are we being loved in return. Typically, this kind of relationship lasts a few months or a few years. Then the love bond releases from the men we tend to find another female to impregnate her with our love genes. Romantic love involves talking, sharing, and closeness (intimacy) and touching, kissing, etc. (passion) but not an agreement to stay with the other person if the friendship and passion decline sharply. In sexual love, men and women view intimacy differently. For example, intimacy for a woman might mean talking but for men it might mean a relationship involving physical pleasures.
