<p>This is so <em>très kewl</em>!</p>
<p>I was watching on NetFlix a Discovery Channel documentary, <em>The Science of Sex Appeal</em>&hellip; research for my next novel.</p>
<p>Anyhow, at one point during the program, <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=HHZAl2R_1lw#t=7m0s">anthropologist Helen Fisher said</a>:</p>
<blockquote>
<p>I think that we&rsquo;ve evolved three distinctly different brain systems for love. One is the sex drive, the craving for sexual gratification, associated with testosterone in both men and women. The other is romantic love, that elation, the focused attention, the obsessive thinking of early love. And the third is attachment, that sense of calm and security you can feel for a long-term partner.</p>
</blockquote>
<p>(Helen Fisher is the author of <a href="http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0805077960/jtk-blog-20"><em>Why We Love: The Nature and Chemistry of Romantic Love</em></a> and other titles.)</p>
<p><strong>So why is this so <em>très kewl</em>?</strong></p>]]></description>
