The Roles of Body Chemistry for Growing the Sense of Love and Romanticism in Adults

INTRODUCTION :
Our body is a well built and well equipped chemical laboratory where uncountable chemical reactions are occurring day and night. These chemical reactions are involved with different physiological processes, motivations of our mind, our affairs, activities etc. Falling in Love in adolescence period or better to say, growing the nature of the attraction to the opposite sex is one of the well known phenomenon in human being, and in other animals also ! Now the question is why are these senses grown at the adolescence periods only ? So, obviously there are series of changes of chemistry related to physiological actions within our body during the newly appearing adult periods.

EXPLANATIONS :
Once I thought that if our Pituitary wants then we can fall in love otherwise not. But, it is not only Pituitary gland which only controls the Love and sexuality in adults. There are many other sources of chemicals those are related to our falling in Love for health. According to many scientists sex is basically high power energy, which originates from the brain and travels through the external genital organ. It is also the part of complete fitness. Not only that when a person falls in love then he/she becomes more physically and mentally healthy compare to others.

SOURECES OF DESIRES TO FALL IN LOVE IN ADULTS :
Different types of sources are involved to grow the sensations of Love in adult period.

1. Hormones :
a) The different types of hormones secreted from Pituitary and gonads are helpful to grow the primary and secondary sexual characteristics in adults. Oxytocin, a hormone secreted from posterior part of pituitary gland (Neurohypophysis) takes several important roles starting from desires of falling in Love to the give birth of a child. Liking an opposite sex friend, talking with him/her, to see movie with him/her, to propose him/her, all these kinds of adult behaviours are motivated by this hormone. This hormone is also called birth hormone because it stimulates uterine contraction during child birth. This hormone also called milk ejecting hormone as it induces the flow of milk from mammary glands to the mouth of the child under the control of Prolactin hormone secreted from the anterior part of the Pituitary gland (Adenohypophysis).Another chemical called alpha melanocyte polypeptide is also secreted from Pituitary gland that takes part in the generation of romantic excitements.

b) The two main steroid hormones, Testosterone and Estrogen secreted from the male gonad and female gonad respectively, helps to grow the sexuality in animals. Secretions of these hormones in adults accelerate the sex desires in human.

c) Adrenaline/Nor-adrenaline :
These hormones are involved in the excitements of attraction to the opposite sex. These hormones are secreted from the Medulla part of the adrenal gland. This gland is also called Suprarenal gland as it is situated on the Kidney.

d) Neurohormones :
G.T.H hormones (I.C.S.H., F.S.H., L.H. etc.) secreted from Pituitary are indirectly controlled by the G.T.H.-R.H. secreted from the Hypothalamus part of the brain helps to stimulate gonads to secrete their hormones in adult periods.

2. Neurotransmitters :
These are low molecular weight substances released in small amount at interneural neuromuscular and neuroglandular synapses. Some excitatory neurotransmitters like Serotonin and Dopamine helps to generate romantic and love making moods. These are produced from brain and very much helpful to increase the attraction towards the opposite sex.

3. Pheromones :
Pheromones are chemical substances used for communication amongst individuals of the same species. These are also called Ectohormones or sex attractants. These invoke a specific response to the stimuli of recognition and attraction. The different types of pheromones are found in animals e.g. Bombykol in Silk Worm, Queen substance in Honey bee, Civertone in cat are used to attract their opposite sexes. In man, the role of Pheromones is not so well known but according to some scientists these help in the growing of sexual desires.

4. Nitric oxide :
This chemical is generated in the cells of gonads of males as well as females. The action of nitric oxide dilates the blood vessels of sex organs and accelerates the blood flow through them.

5. Vaso active intestinal polypeptide :
This chemical also generates the romanticism by dilating the blood vessels as well as accelerating the blood flow.

DISCUSSION :
It is clear from the above discussion that the changes of minds in adults, generation of romanticism, falling in love etc. are controlled by the different chemical secretions from our body. These chemicals grow different primary and secondary sexual habits in animals and motivate their minds to some different thinking other than their childish attitudes. It was established by several scientists that full of romantic life is good for health also. Romanticism is a good medicine for heart, preventive agent of deposition of extra calorie, effective agent for pain killing as well as removing mental anxiety. Additionally, it is to be mentioned that loving others freshens minds and enhances the life span of a man. Therefore one should fall in true love to other to keep himself/herself healthy after acquiring an adult age.
