This thought occurs to me as I think about what breakups and divorces do to people. How it physically and mentally effects us. Weight loss, depression, lashing out, mood swings......hell ..sounds like withdrawal to me. Usually, seems to me anyway, one or the other party fairs better in splits, the one that wants and initiates it. The other, especially if caught off guard, can be crushed both physically and emotionally .....and actually craves the one being lost. A truly physical need. (Sigh) this correlated to some things I am going through right now. Heightened emoional states make.the mind wander in....interesting .directions at times. Still..I find this stray thought worth some ponderance.

Certainly the mind is going to affect the body, so you're going to experience some physical symptoms. That's why it's so important to try to "get your mind right" as soon as possible after a break-up.

. . . . and not just addicted to someone. The issue of pheromones is extremely complicated and combined with the intensity of a sexual relationship based on infatuation and lust, it can be a very addictive combination.

I would not necessarily say that I've been with alot of women, but out of all the women I have been with, there have been a couple where although I can't proove it scientifically - in addition to the physical attraction (I'm into brunettes with killer curves and dark/evil eyes), there had to be something related to pheromones going on. And if you factor in, the brain responds to a large amount of stimuli regarding physical attraction and pheromones are one part of that, I still to this day sense on some level that there was something in both cases specifically related to pheromones that was never present in other intimate relationships.

Absolutely! I just gave up meeting somebody for that very reason... The stars were aligned in many ways, but there were a few deal-breakers. He is one of the very few people in the whole friggin' town (online) whose looks appeal to me, but I have a history of ignoring my better judgment because of chemistry and I decided it's best to not tempt myself with meeting him at all...
