Hormones Cause Attraction, Sex, And Love!

Did you know that orgasm is the richest legal source of dopamine? A Dutch researcher scanned the brains of some people while they were having an orgasm.

He said the results of the scans were similar to the effects of heroin on the body. Unstoppable cravings for sex come from unquenchable dopamine cravings, and if you have sex, you will enjoy it like a drug.

Do you know the saying "Passion in a couple lasts 2 years"? Until then, the dopamine that feeds your addiction is released.

After a long time, however, dopamine is no longer released in such large quantities (routine intervention). Passion disappears, which is gradually replaced by love, attachment, and these feelings are given by another hormone: oxytocin.

Find out more about the so-called happiness hormones to understand what happens to you when you find HIM!

He fell on your trunk!

According to several researchers, together they brought you the sense of smell! You have probably heard of pheromones (substances released naturally by the body, but which are also used artificially in perfumes to guarantee attraction).

Pheromones establish a primary link with the opposite sex. Both men and women emit pheromones with their whole body (underarms, intimate area, facial skin, etc.). We will unconsciously smell the pheromones and thus sexual attraction will occur.

Specifically, when you kiss a man on the cheek and feel warm all over his body, an attraction, pheromones are to blame.

American researcher Martie G Haselton has concluded that men are more attracted to the smell of women when they are ovulating, the increased attraction of women fluctuating during the menstrual cycle.

Researchers' studies show that men are more careful with their girlfriends when ovulation approaches.

Women also change their preferences depending on the menstrual cycle. When they ovulate, they will be attracted to men who emanate masculinity, but at other times in the cycle, they will look for stable men with less sexuality.

 So we women are complex, hard to decipher for men, and because we want different things from day today! What is certain is that during the ovulation period, nature speaks for itself: we want manly men, and they are more attracted to us than ever before.

Not from the first night, the researchers warn you!

Now that sexual attraction is established, dopamine is released into your body! You want it now, you always want it! Find out that if you have sex with him from the first night, so you give in to the feeling that dopamine gives you, you will release another hormone, oxytocin!

 Researcher Haselton warns you that oxytocin is misleading you. You will no longer be able to perceive your partner correctly, to know him. Why?

Oxytocin, released immediately after sex (and without orgasm), gives you a feeling of attachment. It is not for nothing that it is called the hormone of love. Haselton concludes, "Be careful: first date sex can lead to deeper feelings for the wrong person!"

Mathematicians also say that if a woman refuses to have sex on the first date, she will be more likely to find a quality man and be in a serious relationship.

Professor Robert Seymour of the University of London has found a mathematical model to prove this theory. He says:

- "A man's ability to wait and court a woman is a sign that he is the right man."

- "By postponing sexual intercourse, the woman reduces her chances of encountering an inappropriate man."

- "A long courtship is likely to lead to a serious relationship, where partners have had time to get to know and appreciate each other."

Professor Seymour's conclusion? Women are advised not to offer themselves on the tray from the first date.

Love and sex go hand in hand!

You set it on fire. You had time to get to know him, see if he was worth it. Are you a couple? You have succumbed to attraction, dopamine, enjoy sex together. How is love installed? By releasing oxytocin (after sex) - this is how you feel attached to it, you feel protected and affectionate.

But sex is not loving, says researcher Haselton! Specifically, sexual desire ensures reproduction. So the researcher wonders what is the purpose of love then? Especially when it makes us think we've found our way through so many possibilities!

Haselton explains, "The purpose of love is that the feeling itself acts as a Stop that ends the search, at least temporarily. So we become devoted to a person and begin the process of reproduction."

Regardless of the purpose of love, researchers say that it is born due to oxytocin. It seems that the hormone of love can make us monogamous. How do we produce it (apart from the state after sex)?

When we hug, we caress, we kiss. Once produced, we feel full of confidence, fearless, and very close to our partner. That is why some women need foreplay, play, to have free sex.

If oxytocin produced near a certain partner leads to quality sex, it is not surprising that monogamy occurs. And later a long-term relationship!

Therefore, the couple's life is not necessarily born spontaneously. But it's up to us to maintain it and why not, to beautify it … beyond the hormones of happiness!
