"Early female indoctrination in 'love' as an emotion may be largely a western concept: but a more universal ideology concerns the primacy and uncontrollability of the male sexual drive."

Love is defined by culture
"... one's culture has been found to have a more powerful impact on love beliefs than one's gender (Sprecher & Toro-Morn, 2002). Culture affects how a person defines love, how easily he or she falls in love, who he or she falls in love with, and how the relationship proceeds (Kim & Hatfield, 2004)."
