Is this related to how they convinced people that the human body is to be almost completely covered and something to be ashamed of?
And how long until people are made to actually feel ashamed (and be ostracized) for being in love?

I've never seen a public lewd act, except on the news talking about war. lovers show affection, and when that is disgusting, that is a sign of perversion of love; people who see disgust are looking in a disgusting way. There is a time for love (always) and place for love (everywhere), just as G-d meant it. I have no "problem" with that. (sheesh!)

The only connection I can make between love and OCD is the fear of failing. You know what they say, the neurological pathways resemble that of insanity when one is in love. I personally constantly worry that something is wrong with my relationship and do see the connection between OCD. However, this isnt too healthy since I express it too much. Anyway, yes I see the connection.

The reason we are told to cover up is to avoid overloading the neurological pathways between sight and brain.
It is for the same reason we frown upon seeing lewd behaviour in public. To lovers is a show of affection, to us is a disgusting sight. There is a time and place for everything. Now what is your problem?

I recently realized I have never fallen out of love with the boy I was dating EIGHTEEN YEARS AGO. We are both married now with children and accidentally realized we live in the same state after not being in touch for 15 years. We met in person a few weeks ago, and before I saw him I threw myself at him over email and offered to have an affair....I have thought about him since we have broken up and rationally have tried to tell myself all of these years that it is not possible that I am still in love with my first love..but he is the first person I told/emailed that my doctor found a lump in my breast (a day and a half ago, and he has not yet responded) so he clearly does not still love me (in love with his wife, as he should be) and I just want to connect with him still (though my husband loves me and we have a good life). If that is not OCD than what is?

I have always joked and said being in love is the closest you can be to being insane. You do things that you wouldn't normally do when you are in love,and you drive yourself crazy thinking and worrying about things. Most of it is great though :)
