In this essay, I will be discussing the Hendricks and John Allan Lee approach to six styles of love. I will also be discussing the love scenarios and components of attractiveness. Furthermore, I will be discussing sexual techniques, foreplay and masturbation in relation to the six styles of love.
2. The six styles of love:
According to Hendricks and John Allan Lee, there are six styles of love. These are:
-Eros: This is passionate love and is based on physical attractiveness.
-Ludus: This is game-playing love and is based on conquest and power.
-Storge: This is friendship love and is based on familiarity and comfort.
-Mania: This is obsessive love and is based on insecurity and fear.
Pragma: This is rational love and is based on practicality and convenience.
-Agape: This is selfless love and is based on altruism and compassion.
3. The components of attractiveness:
The components of attractiveness are features which make a person physically attractive to another person. These features can include a person’s facial symmetry, their scent, their body type and their voice pitch. Physical attractiveness is important in the Eros style of love as it is based on physical attraction.
4. The love scenarios:
The love scenarios are the different ways in which people can express their love for one another. The six styles of love each have their own unique love scenario. For example, people who are in an Eros style relationship may express their love for one another through physical touch, such as kissing or sex. People who are in a Ludus style relationship may express their love for one another by playing games or by giving each other gifts.
5. Sexual techniques:
Sexual techniques are the different ways in which people can engage in sexual activity with one another. There are many different sexual techniques which can be used in order to increase sexual pleasure. Some sexual techniques which can be used in an Eros style relationship include oral sex, anal sex and role-playing. Ludus style relationships may involve people trying new sexual positions or experimenting with different forms of sex, such as BDSM.
6. Foreplay:
Foreplay is sexual activity which takes place before intercourse begins. It can be used as a way to increase sexual arousal and to make intercourse more pleasurable. Foreplay can involve activities such as kissing, touching, massaging or licking. All six styles of love can benefit from incorporating foreplay into sexual activity.
7. Masturbation: Masturbation is when a person sexually stimulates themselves, usually with their hands, in order to achieve orgasm. Masturbation can be a good way to learn about your own body and what you like sexually. It can also be used as a way to relieve sexual tension or as a form of birth control. All six styles of love can involve masturbation, either on its own or as part of sexual activity with a partner.
8. Conclusion: In conclusion, the six styles of love are: Eros, Ludus, Storge, Mania, Pragma and Agape. Each style of love has its own unique love scenario and components of attractiveness. Furthermore, each style of love can involve different sexual techniques, foreplay and masturbation.
