Edit: I do not understand why I am getting downvoted here? It should be fairly obvious that this is not a sexual thing? Do people disagree with it being beautiful?

    i see behaviors that encourage survival that have been reinforced by millenia of evolution

    one could call this an “emotional connection” i guess but emotions themselves are very purpose oriented

      Humans are emotional creatures and make life or death decisions based on them. It’s a flawed system, but it has worked adequately so far. For example, taking care of the people in your tribe boils down to emotions. This sort of cohesion keeps the tribe together and safe, so I would consider that a successful survival mechanisim.
