We need to look afresh at the whole idea of falling in love.
The present cultural anarchy that has come to surround relationships has evolved from the 20th century’s preoccupation with falling in love. Initially just falling in love, but then falling in love and into bed to something vastly more complex.
If you wanted to be a bit blunt you might say that our culture has become addicted to an entertainment industry selling a mixture of deep (multiple) infatuation and a lot of sex. Hollywood platformed the self-soothing of romantic love. And as the boundaries of what was morally acceptable became more porous, it moved beyond straight people looking to get married to people of different orientations looking for a wider variety of things.
