The article went on, after one year of exposure to said person you will never feel that way with them again.
Anyone dissagree? | | | |

Anyone that takes Bio 101 or simply watches the discovery channel will learn that chemicals are released to procreate. Hence your hard-on
To say that one would never have the same feelings (physically) towards the other person ever again isn't very logical. | | | | | Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 390 UGN Member | | UGN Member Joined: Sep 2002 Posts: 390 | I also would have to disagree, but I do see how wanting to procreate can be confused for love. I'm sure we've all met people before that we thought we loved them, but as time went on you realized you didn't want to be around them anymore.
However I've been with my fiancee for 2 and a half years, and I still get that feeling around her.

but i'm a girl... so i'm all sappy about the whole love thing
