Dating and romance

When people think about romance the first thing that comes up to their mind, isa ll about loving a person, dating it and living with it for the rest of their lives, but is not only that, it has it scientific and medical part. Oxytocin: In our body endocrine and reproductive system we have a hormone call oxytocin. The oxytocin is a hormone produced in the hypothalamus and released in the blood when the person is excited. This hormone has 2 main actions are contraction of the womb and milk production among others. It is also in charge of controlling
sexual behavior, who does a person likes, when is a person excited, this is sexual behavior control b oxytocin in the brain. In men oxytocin is part of the process of producing sperms. Dopamine: Another important hormone in reproduction is the dopamine, this neurotrsmitter hormone is in charge of basically controlling the happiness of a person, and this happiness includes love. Once a person is in love dopamine is in charge of the attitude that the person has during a relationship, this makes a person to start dating, and to concentrate in love. The scientific part of dating: After a review of two important hormones in love we are ready to see how this work together. Some people have similar sexual genes these sexual genes make people to attract some specific people, in other words I might like a person that you don’t like, this is seen in these hormones and genes. Once there is attraction and eventually love, oxytocin is in charge of sexual behavior and expressions such as orgasms or excitation and dopamine makes the person happy and makes the person to concentrate with love. Chemical relationships When you are in love it is control by chemical responses in the brain, it is control by three hormones, adrenaline, noradrenaline and dopamine, there is also a chemical in charge of sex phenylethylamine. Dating men and women There is a difference between dating men and women. When you date a men, testosterone is the chemical in charge of it, it tells whether the men likes the women or not. In the other hand when you date a women, oxytocin is the one that reacts, this hormone is the one that tells the women if they got with the wrong guy. So there is a different chemical response in man than in woman. Conclusion: Relationships are not only loving a person and live with it for the rest of our live, it also has it scientific part. Making love is more than sexual intercourse What is being in love? When this question comes tom most of people´s mind they will think that it is all about having a person with you, dating it and then having sex

with it. But sex is more than that, as we know sex has its scientific part, there are hormones in charge of it.

Sexual responsibilities: Knowing when is the moment of sexual intercourse is part of sexual responsibilities, knowing when do you know the person well enough. It is better to have intercourse when you are in a relationship like marriage. Conclusion: When humans have love is better to know when is the time of having it and if that person is the right one, it is all about responsibilities, the hormones will do the rest. Marriage Marriage is an union between a female and a male which will live together and reproduce, it is cause by love, it is a relationship that is approved by religion, society and science. The science of marriage: As everything in life marriage has its science, according to religion marriage is done for creating a family, in science it is for reproduction, the main goal of marriage is reproduction.

After sexual intercourse sperm goes and meets a ovum which will make a baby, that will be born around 9th months later.

A fantasy may be a positive or negative experience, or even both. It may be in response to a past experience and can influence future sexual behaviour. A person may not wish to enact a sexual fantasy in real life, and since the process is entirely imaginary, they are not limited to acceptable or practical fantasies, which can provide information on the psychological processes behind sexual behavior. Common fantasies The incidence of sexual fantasies is nearly universal, but vary by gender, age, sexual orientation, and society. However, because of a reliance on retrospective recall, as well taboos, there is an inherent difficulty in measuring the frequency of types of fantasies. In general, the most common fantasies for men and women are: reliving an exciting sexual experience, imagining sex with a current partner, and imagining sex with a different partner. There is no consistent difference in the popularity of these three categories of fantasies.

We think that the most important part of this work was to be creative; because making a magazine is all about researching information and finding a way to put all the information, but we had to think that the information that we are going to put were not to long because the people that are reading will get bored. Finally we think that this was a fantastic project, all of us made a very good eford. We just want to say thank you for reading our magazine.
Let's be honest for once, leave aside idealization and romance, and recognize that love only kills when the method fails, and other causes that are by man dies and disappears, they say that love at our age, only the search the unlimited possibilities of all those orgasms we have not yet reached.
