are you saying blind people can't love? how callous of you
Well, that's a good question. Do you know where we could find statistics on how often blind people find true love? :P

Or maybe they handle lovelessness the same way they handle every other disability- shunting it off to other senses. Or a well-trained dog, in some cases.


Although this point does raise curious questions regarding heart transplants. Or I guess liver/intestine transplants, depending on which theory we're using.


Does this mean I'm only capable of half the love of a normal person?
I somehow knew this would come up. Maybe it's like how when you lose a kidney, you're not quite as effective as someone with two but you're basically fine.

Or maybe your passionate pirate love makes up for amount with intensity.

Eyes. Humans are vision-based animals, so it'd stand to reason that their sense of perception- including of, say, love- would be vision-focused.
By that reasoning it would be more reasonable to say nose because of pheromones etc,.

I would presume that it would mean that the entirety of your love capacity is concentrated in a single eye, allowing you to fire love-beams from it.


Personally I'm rooting for the liver, seeing as how it helps us deal with toxins instead of dying, it makes sense that it would govern positive emotions like love.

I am going to say arms because when I think love, I think cuddling.

Why, what happened to your atria?
...Or were you talking about the eye guy?

No, because human scent sucks.

I say the brain. It's where all emotions come from, and all decisions. Or maybe one of the glands. Have the hormones causing infatuation ever been studied?

And because you love collecting them.

Man, sometimes I wonder what would it would be like if I had a dog's sense of smell and could tell all sorts of things about you just by smelling.

That sounds so lecherous, and doubtless I'd eventually end up using it towards perverted ends...the Nose of Gyges.

@Footjob, you can microwave most grains I've tried pretty easily through the microwave, even if they aren't packaged for it.

I'm going to say feet, because damn it, if you have ugly feet, I just can't bring myself to feel for you in anyway. Infact, you would probably go on my hit list.

I definitely feel strong attraction as pressure behind my sternum.

EDIT: that's my upper sternum, dead centre.

The brain, where glands are told to produce certain effects to encourage mating, such as infatuation.

I'd say the brain doesn't work out as a love organ, because when you have well, what's referred to as a 'heartbreak', you don't get a headache.

Gut/stomach actually seems quite appropriate.
