If love and sex are really a war or conflict between the two genders, we can define sexual mating as a period of ceasefire, a ceasefire that is armed for a number of reasons, the main one being the fact that the possession that follows the war includes the fear of loss, either of dominance or of self-dominance, and therefore imposes constant vigilance.

Therefore, a potentially competitive situation is created, in which everyone must "play", using all the opportunities that arise, so that the popular saying that "anything goes in war and love" is confirmed.
