Love and Reproduction

Why do I think this topic is part of occultism?

Well, probably besides its scientific explaination through human biological factors and cycles, sometimes this subject is also appear blended with exceptional myths and historical legends.

For example, I found this article about aphrodite (Venus) the Greek
goddess of love, beauty, fertility, procreation, sexuality, seduction, and
harmony which says that Aphrodite's seductions and temptations were a constant
source of pleasure and danger for both gods and mortals. Those who fell under
her spell were robbed of their wits and enticed into actions they would not
normally take when in full possession of their rational faculties. This
combination of pleasure and danger was crucial to the nature of Aphrodite as a
goddess. It may also be a reason why Greek and Roman conceptions of seduction
were treated in such a negative light by early Christian leaders.

For the Greeks, however, this contradictory nature of seduction and
love were simply a part of the nature of life. Aphrodite's dominion over harmony
was, in part, because the expression of sexuality was necessary for both
domestic and social harmony. Cults dedicated to Aphrodite could be found all
over Greece, and for the most part local cults honored her role in the process
of human reproduction, a vital aspect of any community. Whereas the Christians
attempted to suppress sexuality as much as possible, the ancient Greeks accepted
it for what it was and sought to integrate it into their belief system.

Well, whatever that means...

In Islam the teachings of reproduction is beautiful. Reproduction is a healthy soul exercise for marriage life. Reproduction satisfies the lust of a man with his legal wife and brings contentment, completion to their lives.

People have also related this kind of relationship with inner-self chemistry attraction.

Through writer Kanika Goswami, she gave her view in The Physics and
Chemistry of Love, she quoted that Love, like all things bound to the
universe, is non existent without some amount of physics and chemistry attached
to it. As a scientist cynically pointed out, cupid’s arrows would never have
been effective if they had not been first dipped in one unromantically named
chemical- phenylethylamine.

She added that nor would the human body’s reaction have given us dramas like
Romeo and Juliet, if oxytocin did not have its way. Together these two form
the chemistry of love. The common symptoms of love, including sweaty palms,
shaky knees and general restlessness, are caused by a natural chemical,
Phenylethylamine (commonly dubbed the `love molecule'). Its release from the
brain can be triggered from deceptively simple actions like the meeting of
the eyes or touching of the hands. Heady emotions, racing pulses and heavy
breathing results, and all these are (unfortunately) clinically explained as
an overdose of this chemical. A very interesting thing is that chocolate is
known to have very high level of this chemical…perhaps that’s the reason why
it is considered a perfect gift for valentine. Or for your sweetheart.

Well, either we believe or not is one question. Either we understand it or not is another.

However, I believe love and reproduction is also part of human necessity. It maintains the human health cycle and live motivation in various ways.
