New research sheds light on where and how we feel different kinds of love.
Researchers at Aalto University have made a map of where in the body different types of love are felt and how strongly they are experienced.
The team surveyed participants about how they experienced 27 different types of love, such as romantic love, sexual love, parental love, and love for friends, strangers, nature, God, or themself. The team asked participants where they felt the different types of love in their body and how intense the feeling was physically and mentally., suggest that the different types of love form a continuum from weaker to stronger.
'Love between persons is divided into sexual and non-sexual. The types of love that are particularly close to each other are those that have a sexual or romantic dimension,' says Rinne. Rinne says that the team were intrigued by the fact that all the different types of love are felt in the head. 'When we move from more strongly experienced types of love to less strongly experienced types, the sensations in the chest area become weaker. It may be that, for example, love for strangers or wisdom is associated with a cognitive process. It may also be that there are pleasant sensations in the head area. This is something that should be investigated further,' says Rinne.
