Summary

This quote suggests that love is essentially a fabrication we create in order to rationalize the effort we put into engaging in sexual activities. It implies that love serves as a psychological defense mechanism, tricking ourselves into believing that our pursuit of physical intimacy is motivated by something higher or more meaningful. It challenges the idea that love is a genuine emotional experience and portrays it as a self-deceiving construct devised solely to justify our instinctual desires.
