Chemistry of sex?

i was reading a journal on a website stating sex and it says the right chemistry for sex. So is it possible you can't have a mate unless the chemistry is equal to one?​
 
What calculations are involved in this?!?!?! lol
There are people who are going to be "better" mates for you than others based on chemistry/attraction, yes. But there isn't an equation for it! And there is certainly many possible people.

Sex is a physical phenomena (like arguably, everything)

So it is then in principle describable in terms of physical laws, which are as we know suited to being formalized in mathematical notation.

That it's not easy or well enough understood at this time does not mean it's not conceptually possible.
 
IMHO sex is more of a primal thing. Now, anything can be broken down to numbers and equations, and that may well tell the likelihood of success in a relationship working out with a potential mate. But, just because it can be broken down in such a way, doesn't mean that it's prudent to do so.

The beauty of chemistry between people, is you don't have to know all the fact, it either feels right, or it doesn't. No need to over complicate things which are really built into the human nature at a subconscious level. Kinda kills the enjoyability if you have to be sure using means outside of yourself.
 
maybe they mean the chemistry of pheromones? as in someones smell may make one person horny but smell bad to someone else?
 
There is some evidence that people are attracted to one another because of certain compatibilities of body chemistry.
As a result you might yourself attracted to quite unsuitable partners.
There are receptors in the nose called Jacobson's organ which seem to play a role in this.
Biological determinism or free will? You decide.
 
It's all physical attraction. Your brain is a physical system. (Particularrally chemical and electrical. ) Any physical system can in principle be described with equations. The brain is a very complex system and it's not currently feasible to do so, but at least in concept, it could be done.

it really makes topics of "free will" interesting in such contexts, no?
I don't believe in "fate" in the sense that people tend to use the term, although, technically speaking, since the brain and its environment <ie its surroundings at any given time on this planet, including any and all stimuli> are all technically "knowable", it could be argued we all walk a path so exact that it makes "fate" look like "freedom", and that - with enough of this data, and of course the means to process it, we could actually predict any and every piece of the future :)
 
^there are a number of pre-determined potential paths, but it is our "free will" which path to take. At the end of the day though, everything is going ahead as planned - look at the stars, and look at the lines in your hands for starters - it is amazing what they will tell you.

Really, people need to stop using the term "chemistry" when talking about romance. Now.

No one mentioned romance - romance is fantastical.

Attraction is instinctive, psychological and based on chemistry - physical compatibility, astrology, pheromones, and physical prowess amongst other factors.

Not quite, not all physical systems are mechanistically deterministic. I.e. Quantum mechanics which is random and probabilistic. Small molecules and ions are on the quantum scale not the classical scale. They also play a large role in how your brain works.

Chaotic classical systems are too unpredictable to consider predetermined...like turbulent flows and weather for e.g. So, again it's not a narrow path.
 
1 I'm not familiar enough with quantum mechanics, although I strongly suspect that 'random' element in ANY theory is simply something that's random because we've yet to understand it thoroughly enough. I guess i see "random" as a theoretical concept developed by man, and NOT something that is, or even can be, a part of the natural world.

2 Re weather, i'm unsure what factor in determining weather is indeterminable. I was under the impression we are just in not possession of sufficient data and processing capabilities to determine it more accurately. are you asserting that aspects of our weather system are purely, inherently indeterminable no matter what? Could you elaborate?

/am curious about your thoughts on such things, not many better on this board than you for this type of topic lol

Quantum mechanics can't save the notion of free will, though, random chance leaves no more room for agency than does the certainty of classical mechanics.
 
As formulated, and as observed by.experiment, quantum mechanics is inherentantly random. There's very good reasons why this is asserted. Further, the random nature on.quantum scale is necessary to have to predictability and isotropic on a large scale. If it wasn't random, things like the.decay rate of radioactive things would vary in different places.

Chaotic classical systems are difficult to predict not just due to.a lack of data, but also due to non linear effects of input conditions, how many variables there are, and how fast they change.

That's quite a leap of faith, and not really consistent with our best current scientific theories.
