The science of love
The 3 stages of love Helen Fisher of Rutgers University in the States has proposed 3 stages of love – lust, attraction and attachment. Each stage might be driven by different hormones and chemicals. Stage 1: Lust This is the first stage of love and is driven by the sex hormones testosterone and oestrogen – in both men and women. Serotonin And finally, serotonin. Does love change the way you think? Love needs to be blind Newly smitten lovers often idealise their partner, magnifying their virtues and explaining away their flaws says Ellen Berscheid, a leading researcher on the psychology of love. New couples also exalt the relationship itself. Stage 3: Attachment Attachment is the bond that keeps couples together long enough for them to have and raise children. Oxytocin - The cuddle hormone Oxytocin is a powerful hormone released by men and women during orgasm. It probably deepens the feelings of attachment and makes couples feel much closer to one another after they have had sex.

Picking up where The Atlantic and Flavorpill left off, I enlisted my science-fiction nerd and film buff friends to help me do an even deeper dive of the inspirations for the video, most of which are crammed into the first two minutes. That way, we’ll be done puzzling over it when her new visual assault, in the form the video for “Judas,” arrives on the scene Friday. Watch the video here. 1. 2. Also, Gaga appears to be trapped in a glass box. 3. 4. Naturally, artist H.R. 5. 6.
