Do you feel true love and passionate love in the same parts of your body? What about parental love or sibling love? New research tries to answer these questions with a map of where and how strongly people feel 27 different types of love. The study says that true love touches every part of your body. And unconditional love doesn't look the same as romantic love, but more like a mother or father's love for their child. ‘It was noteworthy, though not very surprising, that the types of love associated with close relationships are similar and are the most strongly experienced,’ says Pärttyli Rinne. According to Rinne and the rest of the team, the different types of love form a continuum from weaker to stronger. All were felt strongly in the head, but they differed throughout the rest of the body – some spread only to the chest, while others were felt all over. ‘The more strongly a type of love is felt in the body, the more strongly it’s felt in the mind and the more pleasant it is,’ adds Rinne. #love #research #data #survey
