Love that drives the flesh / Physical love

Love that leads to physical intimacy.

("Thus they said to her: Love drives the flesh." – Bava Metzia 84a; also: "He said, 'Love,' which is the essence of union, which is from the Name of God, drives the physical flesh… And understand the meaning of 'love drives the flesh,' which is that the power of love, being the union of male and female, is so great that it drives the flesh… for in this union there is a power above nature and stronger than nature." – Sefer Be'er HaGolah, Fifth Well, Chapter 4)
