Oxytocin is a hormone more commonly associated with contractions during labor and breastfeeding. It is also increased by nipple stimulation in men and women. This neurotransmitter, which has also been linked to bonding, is released in variable amounts in men and women during orgasm and remains raised for at least 5 minutes after orgasm. It helps us feel connected and promotes touch, affection, and relaxation. Experiments have actually been done with having subjects inhaling oxytocin that have led to increased bonding among partners. Nope, it is not available at your local drug store, but what might some implications be for psychologists?
