(2006), showed that the experiences of love andĭesire correlate with dramatically different emotions. Neurobiological processes (Diamond, 2004 Gonzaga, Turner, Keltner, Compos States that are governed by significantly different behavioural, cognitive and These two concepts describe two fundamentally distinct and separate emotional Yet, the research in this field of human psychology has suggested that Some people to believe that these two concepts are separate perspectives of a The relationship between romantic love and sexual desire is a complex phenomenon that may lead Romantic Love and Sexual Desire: Figure 1. Therefore, this chapter highlights the fundamental differences between romantic love and sexual desire, whilst at the same time, explaining that the relationships that exists between these two emotional states is due to their ability to motivate and promote reproductive behaviour and guarantee the survival of the species. These three components have separate neurobiological mechanisms and it is argued that their relationship serves the purpose of species survival. In fact, when incorporating the evolutionary perspective, researchers have found that romantic love and sexual desire can be more specifically described as three components: the sex drive, the attraction system, and the adult male/female attachment system. Furthermore, an analysis of the neurophysiological and biochemical research shows that the bodily mechanisms responsible for the experiences of romantic love and sexual desire are fundamentally separate and distinct systems. To help determine what romantic love and sexual desire actually are, this chapter discusses Drive Theory’s which outlines the purpose of sexual desire, Object Relations Theory and Attachment Theory which explain romantic behaviours as the consequences of the emotional relationships experienced during childhood, and the Triangular Theory of Love which postulates three dimensions of love. Evidence suggests that people can experience these emotions separately, as an individual can have feelings of love without desire and desire without love. Love has been associated with a range of behaviours that encourage happiness and desire is more connected to self-promoting behaviours and sexual activity. Yet, the empirical research surrounding these two emotional states shows that this is not the case. The emotional states of romantic love and sexual desire are similar expressions of a single emotion based on attraction. 2.5 The Physiological Difference between Love and Lust:.2.2 Object Relations Theory and Attachment Theory:.I had mentioned on the booking it was my partner’s 40th birthday and they brought a plate with some macarons saying ‘happy 40th birthday’ written on it which was a thoughtful touch. We stopped off for lunch at Haute Cabriere and the scenery and the food were both excellent! I made the lunch reservation in advance via their website but it looked like it would have been possible to turn up on the day though as we were there in winter it was probably quieter than usual. Then it was back to the terminal where we rode the bus to the remaining 3 wineries. The places are all set up to collect you (on tractors!) and prepped for quick and friendly service for the wine-trammers. They even look after any purchased wines for you until the end of the day! We chose the red route and got the tram first at 10am, stopping off at 2 different wineries in the morning. There are plenty of wine tram around to help you understand the timetable and stops / collection times. The wine tram itself was also extremely well organised and great fun. It took about an hour to get there from Cape Town. On the day the transfer and driver were excellent, prompt and friendly. It was all extremely organised, my only suggestion is it would be good to have had information on the booking confirmation that said something like ‘the time of your transfer will be confirmed with you the day before by 4pm’ because then I would not have needed to worry about contacting them. ![]() At around 3.30pm I received a call from the transfer company (Bluu) who confirmed our pick up time for the next day. ![]() The guesthouse owner kindly called them for me though and confirmed I was definitely on their list for a transfer. By 2pm the day before I still hadn’t heard anything and I was unable to call them due to my phone not working properly in South Africa. I emailed them on the Monday prior to our trip and received prompt reply to say it would be confirmed the day before. ![]() On the booking confirmation it stated I had booked transfers but there was no other information. We booked transfers from Cape Town via the wine tram’s website and this was the only part of the trip that could be improved upon. ![]() My partner and I had a fantastic day on the wine tram last weekend.
