A journalist friend recently said that scientific studies show that
“after a few orgasms”, a straight couple’s bond “bio-chemically” cements
into a fiercely loyal, emotional, monogamous relationship, and that,
the spark of romance exists for the next four years — just only enough
to ensure that at least the first offspring can make through the first
critical three years of life in the safe and secure arms of two loving
biological parents.
Smells like Darwinism and you are right. All human feelings and
emotions are just reactions in our neurons to physical reception from
events occurring in our surroundings.
The above finding is attributed to heterosexual relationships which interestingly raises the question: is there an expiry date to monogamous gay relationships as well?
“True love” is said to be rare in heterosexuals despite 99.99 percent
of Dhivehi movies’ unsuccessful attempts at convincing anyone with
real-world examples that monogamous heterosexual relationships are as
long-lasting and as plentiful as found in its fantastic productions.
There is definitely no happily ever after for the Maldivian men and
women where the divorce rate is competing with the wedding rate. Thus
perhaps one could find a rationale behind why even sensible-sounding
Western artists also sing of “love” always — as if they had discovered a
magic that only a minority of the population has been lucky enough to
discover. True love.
They would perhaps say that if most people let go of their cynicism
and be ready to accept this magical thing called love and not shy away
from it, fearing emotional insecurity in dealing with a possible
breakup, then maybe we can find some sense why pop culture is all about romantic love.
I have personally experienced love a few times and am sure will
experience more because I am quite welcoming to all sorts of new
experiences and I never push people away.
It is unlikely that I will ever become monogamous — unless I come
across a guy who is as liberated as me and who has infinite humanity in
him, which I think can only be a rare cosmic event. See, I wouldn’t
“marry” just anyone, I am very choosy, and therefore, I can only accept
as my equal another Gandhi — or an equal or greater spirit — of modern
times.
So although I would like a Firefly of my own, I am not going to waste
time necessarily searching for it. If it comes, then I’ll welcome it.
If it doesn’t, well, there are enough interesting things in this world
to keep you totally engaged during your short one life.
So perhaps it’s time some scientists studied whether there is a
biological clock that will put a stop to all budding gay marriages —
once the double-sperm mixed offspring’s critical three years are over
;-)
