Engineering love
Love addresses two kinds of human needs: sexual and emotional.
Contrary to traditional perceptions, sex isn’t merely a part of love. Rather, in evolutionary and human psychology, romantic love can be viewed as a subset or mechanism of sex.
Romantic love can substitute for the fulfillment of sexual needs for many people who face barriers in their pursuit of sexual excitement or satisfaction. These barriers may be physical (health-, attractiveness-, or age-related), social (repressive morals, harsh legal frameworks, lack of courting opportunities), or even economic (insufficient resources).
On the other hand, the fulfillment of sexual needs can be tremendously enriched if emotional needs are satisfied, or at least addressed, as well.
This applies to both females and males, but for females, the interrelationship is more pronounced. There is a common pattern whereby a female grants a male the satisfaction of his sexual needs because he satisfies her emotional needs—for example, by convincing her that he truly loves her. However, in such a setting, the sexual market value of the male suitor ought not to be much lower than that of the female.
Love is many things. It is also a sweet illusion. Of course, love is real, just as nightmares are. People function better than others when they are not just immersed in love, but also maintain self-control. Knowledge about the mechanisms of love gives a person considerable leverage when interacting with others.
