I'm interested to hear people's opinions on this. I have a friend who believes that loving a person (of the opposite sex) is something which happens only as a chemical reaction which results from being intimate with someone.
I'm not sure what I believe but this view reminds me of Iago's comment about love in Othello 'a lust of the blood and a permission of the will'
And it would assume that you can't love someone until you've had sex -- so where does that leave people who wait until they are married?
Sorry, I know it's a bit deep but I'm just wondering what people think generally.

Does love exist as something spiritual? Is it real or 'just chemicals'?
