The types of love that are particularly close to each other are those that have a sexual or romantic dimension.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It was also interesting to find a strong correlation between the physical and mental intensity of the emotion and its pleasantness.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;The more strongly a type of love is felt in the body, the more strongly it&#8217;s felt in the mind and the more pleasant it is.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>To build their map, researchers collected data from hundreds participants that took part in an online survey.<\/p>\n<p>Each person was asked to colour-in a body silhouette to illustrate how they felt about each type of love.<\/p>\n<p>They were also asked to describe any physical or mental sensations that take place when experiencing each type.<\/p>\n<p>Results showed that while\u00a0most types of love were felt strongly in the mind, their effects notably differed throughout the body.<\/p>\n<p>For instance, a mother&#8217;s love for her child had a powerful effect on the chest, while a love for wisdom was felt entirely in the mind.<\/p>\n<p>As a result, researchers believe that different types of love fall on a continuum from weaker to stronger forms.\u00a0<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/15\/75643289-12540709-image-m-8_1695221320465.jpg\" height=\"463\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/15\/75643461-12540709-image-a-9_1695221339928.jpg\" height=\"463\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>Passionate love was perceived as the most powerful of all, with an impact on the entire upper body, brain and groin area when it shows its head<\/p>\n<p><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/16\/75643811-12540709-Parental_love_was_perceived_to_have_a_powerful_impact_on_the_che-m-38_1695223768378.jpg\" height=\"533\" width=\"306\"><br \/>\n<img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"aligncenter\" src=\"https:\/\/i.dailymail.co.uk\/1s\/2023\/09\/20\/16\/75643455-12540709-A_mother_s_love_for_her_child_had_a_powerful_effect_on_the_chest-a-39_1695223772598.jpg\" height=\"533\" width=\"306\"><\/p>\n<p>A mother&#8217;s love for her child had a powerful effect on the chest, while a love for wisdom was felt entirely in the mind<\/p>\n<p>Mr Rinne continued: &#8216;When we move from more strongly experienced types of love to less strongly experienced types, the sensations in the chest area become weaker<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;It may be that, for example, love for strangers or wisdom is associated with a cognitive process. It may also be that there are pleasant sensations in the head area. This is something that should be investigated further.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>It&#8217;s important to note that most participants in this study were women in higher education.<\/p>\n<p>Scientists therefore acknowledge that results may have differed if their study group was more culturally diverse.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;If the same study were done in a highly religious community, love for God might be the most strongly experienced love of all,&#8217; Mr Rinne added.<\/p>\n<p>&#8216;Similarly, if the subjects were parents in a relationship, as in our ongoing brain study project, love for children could be the strongest type of love.&#8217;<\/p>\n<p>Source: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailymail.co.uk\/sciencetech\/article-12540709\/Incredible-maps-reveal-body-different-types-LOVE-felt-butterflies-stomach-tingles-groin.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Read Full Article<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Incredible maps reveal where in the body different types of LOVE are felt &#8211;
