I'm talking about love. Good old-fashioned romantic love.

Apparently, in a match, it beats sex every time. At least that's what a new study — which will be published in the Journal of Neurophysiology in July — is saying.

The study, announced yesterday, indicates that love is a more powerful emotion than lust. Powerful in what way? Powerful in its ability to control the human mind. The study also suggests that as romantic love develops, the brain goes through a maturation of its own.

I still have lots of questions after reading this story on livescience.com, but I'm completely fascinated. If I get more info, I'll pass it along.
