Love and stress.

Almost everybody can relate to a state of “being or falling in love” even though it is difficult to define love. Love may be a strong, passionate affection for a person. Hence, the Oxford English Dictionary defines love as an intense feeling of deep affection or fondness for a person or a thing, a sexual passion, or sexual relations. Thus, love is an emotion often associated with consensual sexual activity, or the willing, and even eager, participation of the individuals involved. Only recently has the biology of love, and in particular its neurobiological aspects, become a focus of basic science. Medical, or health, implications related to the love physiology are still speculative, i.e., mainly not proven.
