Is Intimacy Always Romantic?

What is love? Love is a broad collection of behaviors and emotions characterized by emotional intimacy, emotional passion, commitment, and caring. It typically involves closeness, caring, devotion, attraction, care, and trust. In its most basic form, love is an emotional bond that develops between two people based on their shared attributes. However, love can vary significantly over time and may depend on several factors such as age and personality.

Based on one study, people are attracted to others based on the similarities they find in their personalities and traits. In turn, the brains of these individuals use similar “cue words” in order to determine the type of partner they would prefer. For instance, when it comes to choosing a romantic partner, some of the same areas of the brain are activated as when we search for common characteristics like facial features, age, educational background, occupation, income, or religion. In addition, the same areas of the brain are activated when we look at photos of people we consider to be our friends. It seems that the same areas of the brain are activated even when watching romance movies.

Another study revealed that when viewing romantic love stories, the right side of the brain (right frontal lobe) is focused on the subject, compared to when viewing non-romantic love stories. Another area of the brain called the amygdala is more active during romantic love viewing than when viewing non-romantic love stories. The left side of the brain is more focused on the object of your affections, while the right side is more preoccupied with feelings such as desire and motivation. These studies reveal that your feelings about a person have much more impact on how you will behave and will also cause you to develop different kinds of psychological and personality traits. Basically, your brain starts to make up your personality before you’ve met.

Not surprisingly, some researchers find that you are most passionate about what you are doing if you have a companionate love life. People who are really into their careers and pursuing professional goals often exhibit more passionate love. However, when a couple is just starting out, passionate love may actually be the exception rather than the rule. So then, does having a companionate relationship predispose you for romantic love?

One reason why intimacy can make you fall in love faster is that it satisfies an intimate need. When you have feelings for another person, you naturally become attracted to that person romantically. Since you know this person very well, the urge to be intimate with that person is stronger, resulting in feelings of lust. Lust only gets translated into physical attractions when your thoughts become obsessed with another person. However, once your thoughts change to loving another person romantically, you will begin to experience a new kind of intimacy.

It seems that some parts of your brain have different representation of your intimate needs and these need to be satisfied in order for you to fall in love with another person. If you think back on your childhood, you probably had very strong feelings for another person and often felt compelled to spend time with them. This often involved being intimate with each other in order to satisfy those feelings. This is the way that your brain has always been wired. If your brain starts to substitute other thoughts (romantic or not) for intimate feelings, then you may become less likely to fall in love with someone and become more inclined to stick with your current romantic relationship.

4 Main Types of Movie genres

A movie, also known as a video, short film, short video, or digital film, is a creative work of multimedia visual art typically intended for adult entertainment that conveys messages, ideas, emotions, scenery, beauty, or ambiance through the application of moving pictures. Movies are usually set in the present time, but may be considered contemporary, historical epics, or realistic fiction, depending on the quality of the artists involved and the intent of the viewer. In most cases, a movie is produced by a single studio or a company that has several production studios scattered around the world. The major motion pictures industry is estimated to generate revenues in excess of $50 billion dollars annually.

Movie distribution is accomplished through movie theaters, television, video on demand, on the Internet, on VHS and DVD players, on personal computers, on hand held devices such as iPods and portable media players, on game consoles, and by DVD mail order. There are many ways to promote a movie. Film festivals are an important promotional tool in the independent film genre because it allows viewers to see movies on the big screen and in the theater for the first time. Independent films should be marketed aggressively using a variety of promotional tools including mailed DVDs, online websites, social networking and word of mouth advertising. Marketing is equally as important for feature films as it is for independent and low budget films.

As in any form of art, the best selling movie stock is the masterful work of art that comes from a talented director and a group of talented cinematographers. However, there are many factors in the success of a movie that are beyond the skill and vision of the directors and producers. The popularity of a movie depends greatly on the marketing of the movie prior to its release. Advertising is essential in the independent film industry. Companies exist that specialize in creating effective ads for both motion pictures and conventional films.

Most of the movie plots focus on a typical conflict or some kind of horror or thriller. There are three main sub-genres of horror movies; thriller, horror comedy, and medical suspense. Tricksy and psychological thrillers combine the ideas of psychological thrillers with elements of mystery and the unexpected. Psychological thrillers often deal with crimes that are related to mental illness, while horror movies are usually about ghosts, demons, and other scary creatures.

Romance films deal with the emotions of love and romance. There are four main sub-genres within the romance genre. Some of the most popular romantic films include Edward Scissorhands (Movie: 1990), Pretty Woman (Movie: 1992), Edward Scissorhands Again! (Movie: 1993), and Grease (Movie: 1992). Romance cinema also includes movies about newlyweds and the lives of children during the Christmas holidays.

The action movies tell stories about dangerous men and women that often take center stage in the story line. Action movies are often very intense and often have an anti-hero type of character. Action movies are the most popular genre of film. They tell stories that are exciting, thrilling, and even downright scary. The action movie sub-genre includes movies about super heroes such as Batman and Superman, westerns, adventure, war, martial arts, comedy, science fiction, action, horror, and horror movies. Action movies often tell stories that have the same type of drama and plot as other types of movies, but have an extra element of danger or suspense.
