Believe it or not, a heart looks very different from how it is typically drawn. It wouldn't function at all if it looked like how we drew it

A drawn "heart" is a reference to either a female ass, breasts, or vulva - at least something I currently vaguely remember tells me that

It's evocative of those things for sure. There's also the theory that the heart symbol is shaped like a mildly poisonous seed that induced infertility. This might be a myth though, as the plant doesn't exist today.

The heart symbol may also actually be a simplified representation of a real heart. A heart is a complex shape that you alnost never see. If priests can be so bad at drawing cats, I can totally believe that the heart was simplified so much.
