Ongoing: Things That Amplify Infatuation

Amplified Infatuation: Increased feelings of affection or desire for a member of the opposite sex through various common aesthetics.

This is just me, I have no idea if other people feel the same sensations with these things or not (feel free to share in comment form). Also: This isn't about or inspired by anyone specific, just noticing trends over the years.

  • Lights at night in several different ways:
    • Streetlights against a black sky.
    • Warm lights from inside small houses seen from outside.
    • Bright directional lights shining in your face, especially when colored.
    • Most importantly, the way it casts shadows.
  • Ambient music, deep house music, anything down-tempo. Proper application of reverb on guitar.
  • A light, cool breeze on the face. Works best during late afternoon, but can be effective at night too.
  • Hot water including hot tubs, sink water, showers.
  • Incense, perfume, fruit gummies, sometimes shampoo.

More on this later.
