Love
In primitive societies, there is very little distinction between love and lust. That is, mating is a function recognized by everyone as something very much like eating or sleeping. In some localities a hut is designated as a place where lovers have their tryst, to consummate their love or maybe just to exhaust their lust. Many tribespeople wear little or no clothing often sporing only g-strings to hide their genitals and this holds true for women as well where naked breasts are not such a big deal.
Getting a mate is often a function of buying a bride, or of a man paying a dowry to the girl's father; she being a valuable part of his work force, must be replaced by something just as valuable like some pigs or chickens or maybe trinkets and precious adornments. In some societies it is the other way around where the parents of a girl must provide a dowry for her or they will get stuck with her for life causing great embarassment to their family. In this case girls are often less valuable than boys since a boy has rights to inherit what the parents possess while the girl when marrying into her husband's family loses her identity and becomes their responsibility and burden as well.
