Aspects of Love and Sex

This is an excerpt from the paper...

The triangular theory of love encompasses different combinations of love across three components; intimacy, passion, and decision/commitment. According to Strong, Devault, Sayad, and Cohen (2001) the ôshape of the love triangle depends on the intensity of the love and the balance of the partsö (162). Within the love triangle there are eight different combinations of intimacy, passion and commitment. While each type is an extreme that is rarely achieved in relationships, the categories like ôlikingö, ôinfatuationö, and ôconsummate loveö provide a useful framework for discussion the concept of love (Strong et al., 2001).

When the intensity of love shared by two people is great, so is the area of the love triangle and vice versa. However, the greater a specific component of love, like passion, the further the point from the center of the triangle will be to that component. This is why the shape of the love triangle is dependent on the intensity of the different components of love. The shape of the triangle will evolve over time. We may achieve such ideal forms of love as consummate love, but such a form of love is hard to maintain over time because ôto sustain it, we must nourish its different components,àeach subject to the stress of timeö (Strong et al., 2001, 162). The more a couple works on keeping the three components of consummate love in balance and nourished, the more likely such a love will be maintained for a long period of time.

orth/Thomson Learning. There are definite developmental tasks with respect to psychosexual development. This is true not only in young adulthood and middle adulthood but also in late adulthood. FreudÆs stages of psychosexual development contend that neuroses, even in late adulthood, stem directly from a lack of appropriate psychosexual development (Weiten 1989). Freud theorized that there are five stages of psychosexual development that the individual passes through from birth to puberty. These stages of psychosexual development, their erotic focus, and their key developmental tasks are provided below: STAGE/AGE EROTIC FOCUS KEY TASKS Oral Stage (0-1) Mouth Weaning (from breast (sucking, biting) or bottle) Anal Stage (1-3) Anus Toilet training (expelling or retaining feces) Phallic (3-6) Genitals Identifying with adult (masturbating) role models: coping with Oedipal crisis Latency (6-12) None Expanding social contacts Genital (Puberty+) Genitals Establishing intimate (being sexually relationships, contributing intimate) to society through working (Weiten 1989, 438-439) These stages of psychosexual development are critical to health functioning in humans, according to
