www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/stronger-the-broken-places/201401/the-real-
reason-opposites-attract.

This article was written by Linda and Charlie Bloom, and it explains the essential causes for

opposite people being drawn to each other. It talks about opposites being drawn to each other

because they see a potential excitement in the contrast of personalities. It goes on to say that as

time passes, these couples would start becoming more like each other, therefore more suites for a

life of responsibility by having the right balance. The audience of this article are those looking to

perfect their romantic lives. The writers are Linda and Charlie Bloom, psychotherapists that are

settled in Santa Cruz, California. They’ve been working with couples for over 30 years, married

since 1972, and their experience is proof of their credibility. The article’s content and their

claims are very similar to that of Kappas’s book, which helps restate the validity of them. This

may be used near the end of my research, to draw a conclusion that supports my initial claim.

“Demisexuality Resource Center.” Resources for Demisexuals, Partners, and Allies,

DemiSexuality Resource Center, 2015, demisexuality.org/articles/what-is-
demisexuality/.

This article, written by the Demi sexuality Resource Center, along with the article on

sapiosexuality demonstrates the possibility of sexual attraction not happening by chance at all.

Like the article on its cousin, it identifies demi-sexuality and goes on to state characteristics of a

people that fall into its category. It’s audience are people looking to understand more about the

topic, not necessarily for research causes, and its time and place of publishing shouldn’t affect

the validity of its content. The writer is the organization itself and going through the CRAAP

methods of evaluation, I can easily say it’s a valid enough source to use in my research. In terms
of relevance, this article’s content would be used as a prime example of the statement that sexual

attraction happening as deliberate attempt by the subconscious, like Sapiosexuality.

Kappas, John. Relationship Strategies: The E and P Attraction . Panaroma Publishing

Company , 1992.

This book, by John Kappas, identifies the essential support of my question. The author claims

that there are two types of “sexual personalities”, an “Emotional Personality” and a “Physical

Personality”. It goes on to claim that a person with an emotional personality is usually perfectly

matched with a physical personality, and that both personalities are opposites in nearly

everything, from priorities to daily lifestyle, this of course doesn’t include morals or ethics. It

addresses an audience that is looking to find an affectionate, lasting relationship and its time and

place of publishing do not affect the validity of their claims at all. The writer is John Kappas, a

hypnotherapist with an PhD with over 30 years of experience. He is also the founder of the very

successful Hypnosis Motivation Institute, this is all making it very easy to find him trustworthy

and use his claims and ideas in my research without hesitation. This book’s content will be the

core of my research essay, it’s the main concept and the biggest supporter for my main question.

Art Form, WordPress, 21 Aug. 2011, www.lifeisanartform.com/2011/reviews/the-art-
of-relationship-emotional-physical-sexuality/.

This article is an analysis of the book on physical and emotional sexuality by John Kappas, and

the hypnosis institute. It analyzes the validity of Kappas’s claims with no bias, which may

encourage the audience to truth Kappas’s theories more. The audience are people doubtful of the

book that John Kappas wrote and want to consider his claims from an unbiased viewpoint, which

this article definitely offers. As this is an analysis, the time and place it was published shouldn’t
affect this article’s validity in the future. The writer is the author of the “Life is an Art Form”, a

respected and popular website, which adds to their credibility and trusted reputation. This article

could help me strengthen the audience’s belief in Kappas’s theories and encourage them to

accept and possibly apply them to their own lives one day.

Raab, Diana. “Sapiosexuality: What Attracts You to a Sexual Partner?” Psychology Today,
Sussex Publishers, 26 Aug. 2014, www.psychologytoday.com/us/blog/the-
empowerment-diary/201408/sapiosexuality-what-attracts-you-sexual-partner.

Before getting to the main concept, the main supporter of my research question, I need to make

sure the audience isn’t disregarding my claims at first glance, which I will do with this article by

Diana Raab. This article identifies a sexual attraction known as Sapiosexuality, which is a sexual

attraction to intelligence. It addresses the specifics of this attraction and helps establish the

validity of “beauty isn’t skin deep” in a literal sense. The audience, once again, is generally

anyone wondering about this type of sexual attraction and whether they are part of that group.

The writer, Diana Raab, has a PhD and is a reliable source that I can take information from

without hesitation, since the content of her article is very similar to the claims of other

psychologists. This article will be particularly useful in getting my audience to seriously consider

my question of love not being at all coincidental, since this type of sexuality, along with demi-

sexuality, is a prime example of sexual attraction occurring deliberately rather than

coincidentally.

Rosenberg, Ross. The Human Magnet Syndrome: Why We Love People Who Hurt Us.
PESI Publishing, 2013.
While the first source was an introduction to the overall VERY general idea of my research, this

source, written by Ross Rosenberg, is more of what I would call a “sub-introduction”. This book

addresses the question of attraction on the pure basis of a desire for pain or difference. It justifies

the idea that people may actually be drawn to others because they subconsciously see a

potentially hard relationship with that person. The audience of this book definitely don’t need

qualifications to be able to understand it with ease, in fact it was written for everyday people who

have dealt with the issues this book addresses. The only way when and where this book was

written would affect any of its content is if the time it was written was an entirely different

century where people interacted differently in the romantic field, which is definitely not the case.

There is no reason where and when this book was written should have an effect on the content

that would make it unreliable or invalid if the environment were to drastically change. The

writer, Ross Rosenberg, has had a long 27-year career in psychotherapy, and is an M.Ed, LCPC,

CADC, which makes it easy to trust the information and claims he presents in his book. Not only

is he valid because of his education in the field he talks about, but also in the personal

experience. Several times in his book, Rosenberg talks about his own romantic experiences that

led to his creating the “human magnet syndrome”, which I think makes him even more

trustworthy of a source. I’ll be putting this source to use near the beginning of my research,

because it introduces my question from the standpoint of psychotherapy and logic, therefore

begging the audience to seriously consider the possibility of it.

Young, Larry, and Brian Alexander. The Chemistry between Us: Love, Sex, and the
Science of Attraction. Current, 2012.
This book is the core foundation for my research, co-written by Larry Young and Brian

Alexander. This book is essentially an introduction to the concept of love from a scientific

standpoint. It classifies love as a potential side effect of chemistry, and walks the audience

through the stages that lead to it, along with identifying the hormones and neurotransmitters that

impact/ lead to these stages. The audience for this book aren’t necessarily psychologists or

relationship therapists, it can also be found useful to students, as its content doesn’t require a

degree to understand/enjoy. The time and place in which was written, I don’t think, have an

impact on the validity of the book’s content. This is because this book’s content isn’t addressing

a political issue or a social dilemma. It address something that I think is permanent; human

behavior and how we subconsciously react with intense emotional or sexual connections, which I

think doesn’t change. The author, Larry Young, has a PhD in neuroscience, which makes him a

very reliable source of information, since neuroscience is the basis of my research. The source

was co-written and reviewed by several professors, all of which found its content reliable valid.

This book’s content is going to be put to use in the beginning of my final draft, since it’s mainly

talking about the concept of love itself. It’ll be very useful in introducing love from a

neurological scientific view point, which will help support my later claims in the research.
