I think it's worth noting that the concept of "romantic love" is relatively new in the scope of things and as an idea, influences expectations between sexes and of sex in general.

Oooh, this might be tangential actually, but one thing that I think is really interesting - both academically, say, and personally - is the distinction between sexual attraction and romantic attraction, a distinction first really brought to my awareness by the online asexual community. I imagine that an uncritical conflation of the two - sexual and romantic attraction basically being considered the same thing - plays a large part in many of the love troubles we have.
