Why is it that people usually fall in love with their first sexual partner?

Question

From what I've heard, most people fall in love with the partners who took their virginities. What is it that makes "the first time" so intriguing that it'll make people fall in love with their first-time sexual partners?

Answer 1

It is natural that people fall in love with "the first time".

Answer 2

IMO many virgins feel that "love" is the only reason to have sex, so they fall in love with their first partner. Also, the female body generates 50% higher levels than males of endorphins during sex, causing them to feel "love".

Answer 3

It is very difficult to give a psychological explanation for it,
because it is something to do with chemicals in body.

Imagine an invisible, undetectable force that's powerful
enough to override your sense of reason yet draws you
to someone with an almost animal passion. These aren't
Cupid's mythological arrows, but real shots of human
pheromones.

Mysteries of Odor in Human Sexuality -

'Scientists in Philadelphia have established for the first

Do pheromones work in human sexual attraction?

They may be odorless and colorless and their function may be
mysterious, but human pheromones at last have the zest of
scientific truth. Researchers at the University of Chicago
have demonstrated that compounds swabbed from the
'underarms' of young women at different times of the month
can alter the length of other women's menstrual cycles,
compressing or expanding the cycles in predictable
fashion....

What is the force that lights the fuse between two
complete strangers? What current pulses through their veins,
engorges their hearts, occupies their minds and numbs their
texting fingers?

As magic formulas go, sexual chemistry must surely
be the most valuable. It's intoxicating effects are more
pleasurable and more powerful than any drug and when it hits,
it hits hard. There are the rushes of ecstacy, the gut wrenching
anticipation, fluttering, dizziness, and the diminished
concentration that turns day-dreaming into a full-time job.
And then there are the side effects. A positively Colombian
annihilation of appetite and its confidence- boosting by-product,
weight loss.

But no one knows what "it" is. Scientists have managed to
map our genetic blueprint. They understand the subtleties
of hormones and the complexities of the emotional brain.
But the thing that makes two people click remains a mystery.
Theories abound as to what, or why. Those looking for a
magic bullet (or Cupid's arrow) tend to favour the notion
of pheromones - scents secreted by the sweat glands in the
'armpits'....

Science of Love - Cupid's Chemistry:

Why do we love, what is passion, and why is intense
desire between two people sometimes called "chemistry"?

There are, in fact, three distinct stages of love; each with
their own characteristic emotional profile and scientific explanation.

First is lust. Lust is driven by our sex hormones testosterone
and oestrogen. These hormones are what get us 'out on the pull'.
After lust comes attraction. This is the love-struck phase;
the time when we lose our appetite, can't sleep, and can't
concentrate. This is what we know as falling in love.

The psycho-physico chemistry of love:

When two people are attracted to each other, a
virtual explosion of adrenaline-like
"nuerochemicals" gush forth.

Also, involved in chemistry are dopamine and
norepinephrine, chemical cousins of amphetamines.
Dopamine makes us feel good and norepinephrine
stimulates the production of adrenaline. It makes
our heart race!

These three chemicals combine to give us
infatuation. Tht is why new lovers feel euphoric
and energized, and float on air. New lovers can
make love for hours and talk all night for weeks
on end.

Now, imagine the combined effect of hormones and
pheromones.

It's bound to be mind boggling!
