Sexual Attraction - [DVD]

Sexual attraction is confusing, maddening, euphoric and even dangerous. It is, like love, an intangible essence. We can examine it only through its physical symptoms--the beating pulse, the sweating palms, the rise and fall of chemicals in the brain--all part of the unexplained emotion of infatuation. Through real-life cases and interviews with psychologists, biologists, anthropologists and others, SEXUAL ATTRACTION explores the mysteries of human sexuality. If the urge for sex can be traced to the need to procreate, then how can we explain homosexual love? What forces are at work when a couple truly fall in love at first sight? Is monogamy the only way to have a successful relationship, and if so, why do so many marriages end in divorce? Just what are pheromones anyway? With insight and humor, these questions and others are explored in this compelling program.
