Where do feelings like affection, respect, trust, admiration, care, concern, even love fit into the model? These things are often present in sex and, in my xperience underpin the quality of the experience.
They are emotionally resonant in my view but not simply reducible to ‘nerve function’:
"Love" is the depolarization, the epitome of intimacy, where we open up.
But the fact is, no one is going to want it unless it's preceded by a hyperpolarization, almost the opposite, telling them to go fuck-themselves, that they can't have it etc.
It's like a push/pull dynamic in a way.
But we're talking
nerve stimulation so those other things (respect, admiration etc), they may appear emotionally resonant/relevant, and in descriptive terms they are, but they're simply not pertinent to
nerve stimulation.
They don't affect or implicated it.
Simply as they don't implicate hyperpolarized feelings (thus nerve activity), or depolarized feelings.
Underwriting the entire process, underwriting emotion/electromagnetism itself - is quantum mechanics.
Quantum = quantifying the wave; thus,
wave mechanics (electromagnetism = wave motion).
It's the
wave nature of emotion/feelings that affects how others respond.
Where "love" has wave relevance, "respect/admiration/trust" do not, thus they do not carry
affect (emotional relevance).
