careful with saying X is "just" Y... depending on how you meant it, that is the reductionist falacy.

eg... suppose you completely understand the neurochemistry/psychology etc of love and sex... this does not, at least for the majority of researchers who have an incomplete understanding in that direction, destroy one's capability to experience love and sex. Also see Feynman's appreciation of the flower (1 min, 30 sec):
