• Helen Fisher identified three stages of love: Lust, Attraction, and Attachment.
• Lust is characterized by the desire for sexual gratification, which stimulates the production of the sex hormones testosterone and estrogen.
• Testosterone is the main sex hormone for men, produced mainly in the testes.
• Estrogen is the main sex hormone for women, produced mainly in the ovaries.
• Attraction is associated with the 'reward' pathways in the brain that influence our behaviour, stimulating the production of dopamine and leading to a reduction in noradrenaline.
• Dopamine is a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that works in the brain, stimulating "desire and reward" by triggering intense rushes of pleasure.
• Serotonin is also a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that works in the brain, playing a role as a "reward center" and in many body functions, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention and more.
• Norepinephrine is a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that works in the brain, released when your brain is expecting a reward, and plays a role as a "reward center" and in many body functions, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention and more.
• Norepinephrine is also known as "adrenaline" and plays an important role in our 'fight or flight' response to stressful situations and keeps us alert.
• Norepinephrine, also called “adrenaline”, plays an important role in our ‘fight or flight’ response to stressful situations and keeps us alert.
• Serotonin is a vital neurotransmitter that aids in the regulation of social behaviour, mood, memory, appetite, digestion and sexual desire.
• The two primary hormones in attachment appear to be oxytocin and vasopressin.
• Vasopressin levels increase in both men and women after sexual activity.
• Dopamine is a chemical messenger (neurotransmitter) that works in the brain and is released when your brain is expecting a reward.
• Attachment involves wanting to make a more lasting commitment to your loved one, where people decide to depend on their partner.
• Dopamine is the final hormone associated with attraction.
• Vasopressin plays an important role as a “reward center” and in many body functions, including memory, movement, motivation, mood, attention and more.
• Vasopressin, also known as “antidiuretic hormone”, is a powerful hormone produced by hypothalamus and released by posterior pituitary.
• Vasopressin, also known as “antidiuretic hormone”, is released by the pituitary gland in both men and women.
• Oxytocin and vasopressin help us feel long-term connection with someone and precede commitment.
• Oxytocin, also known as the “love or cuddle hormone”, can be released by having positive physical contact such as hugging or cuddling, labor and breastfeeding.
• Dopamine and norepinephrine, combined, allow us to feel energetic, euphoric and even giddy when it comes to love.
