Sat 03 Nov 2007 Love is imprudent and immoral (John Bentley.) The necessary conditions of the orthodox idea of Romantic/Sexual love are: admiration for the other; expression of that admiration; sexual attraction to the other; and the previous three conditions reciprocated.
If that is right then (romantic/sexual) love is imprudent (against self interest) and immoral (against the interest of the other). This thesis depends on the conclusions in "Is there anything wrong with a big ego?" http://www.philorum.org/speech/20040616JohnBentley.html.
