On episode 28 of Sisters Without Shame, clinical psychologist Maria Cloete unpacks love and all its kinks.  

Love is both a psychological and biological phenomenon says Cloete who practices in Cape Town. Love is also associated with enjoyment, attachment, affection, care, and devotion.  

She says that it is important to distinguish between the types of love. In February we generally celebrate Romantic love or Romance, which is an intense attraction involving the idealization of another within the erotic context and the expectation of “forever.”
