Why do women read love stories?
What is it that we are really looking for when we pick up the latest love novel? Are we trying to make up for what is missing in our own lives? Are we trying to understand how love works and how we can make it to work for us? Or, is it purely entertainment, something with intelligence. to pass the time away? Do we have mental organism when we read the love making part of the love stories? Are we learning from the love making, just so we won't have to buy a "how to" book on love making? Or, are we trying to figure out what we need to do to have hot sex, like in the novels?
Do we need to keep up with the latest deceit techniques? Do we have the ability to love, or did we loose it when we got hurt the last time we were in a long term relationship? Without the love novels, would our marriages survive? Is love a second hand emotion or is it a necessity, for some of us? Does love make you stronger, regardless of what your partner feels?
Did your daddy teach you that you had to "Treat your VW right before you can get a MB? So you just keep reading or writing until you figure out what he really meant! What happens in our mind, spirit and soul when we read love stories? There's a feeling that you're moving through something," said one avid love story reader. Another love story reader said that she got energy from well written love stories and that the memories of the story could help her through rough moments in her personal life.
Elain Hatfield, PhD puts it like this:
"Every flame dies down-- Romantic, passionate love is fleeting, says Elaine Hatfield, PhD, a psychology professor at the University of Hawaii who has been studying love since the 1960s. "Passionate love provides a high, like drugs, and you can't stay high forever," she says. In fact, companionate love-the less passionate, but affectionate emotion that is associated with long-term commitment-declines over time as well, says Hatfield."
So if this is true, then, is it fair to say, that we read love stories in order to rekindle that high that we once felt?
