This is just a quick anecdote about a thought that's stuck with me for many years.

We're all familiar with this symbol, which is used as a symbol of romantic love. It resembles an actual human heart only by a stretch of the imagination, and its origins can be traced back to the end of the Middle Ages.

If it only bears a slight to resemblance to the actual organ, what does it symbolize? I can remember this question bring brought up in one of my high school classes in the 1980s. Back then, teachers weren't nearly as constrained by Political Correctness as they are today, and I had a number of really excellent teachers that spoke freely.

The answer is speculative but if you know a little bit about history, it makes sense. Fertility symbols play a large role in human history, the phallus being one such example.

This, ladies and gentlemen, is what the heart symbol represents: female genitalia. The rounded halves represent dat ass buttocks and the triangular part represents the vulva.

With that in mind, it could be said that sex, and not love, is what relationships should be based on. That's not to say that relationships should only consist of sex, but sex should be (dare I say it) at the heart of it all.

It could also be said that when you try to give your heart to a woman or approach her with your heart on your sleeve, it's possible she could be visualizing that symbol in her mind and she (and others) could be thinking, "wow, what a pussy."
