True or false - women are oxytocin addicts?

Our bodies produce oxytocin when we're excited by our sexual partner, and when we fall in love. That's why it has earned the nicknames "love hormone" and "cuddle hormone."

It can help us bond with loved ones and can be released through touch, music, and exercise.

"Oxytocin both stimulates the muscles of the uterus to contract, and boosts the production of prostaglandins, which also increase uterine contractions. Women whose labor is slow to proceed are sometimes given oxytocin to speed the process. Once the baby is born, oxytocin helps to move milk from the ducts in the breast to the nipple, and to foster a bond between mom and baby." So women certainly benefit from oxytocin.

Larry Young, a neuroscientist famed for his work in monogamy, claims that the same oxytocin activated during nursing is there with foreplay or orgasm. “It releases a cocktail of ancient neuropeptides,” he explained, “which promotes human cohesion.

So who doesn't love "feel good" hormones. I may be an addict, too. 😃 🤪

Men are dominated by testosterone which makes challenge rewarding. So we don't really seek connection as much as we seek challenges, puzzles, riddles, jokes, science, etc.

And women don't like those things, too?

Fine. "Testosterone increases the release of dopamine, which is a neurotransmitter in your brain responsible for your feelings of pleasure. There may also be a connection between testosterone levels and the function of serotonin. A decrease in serotonin activity in the brain is linked to feelings of depression."

Progesterone is known as a calming, mood, sleep, libido and bone-enhancing hormone.

"Estrogen acts everywhere in the body, including the parts of the brain that control emotion. Some of estrogen's effects include: Increasing serotonin, and the number of serotonin receptors in the brain. Modifying the production and the effects of endorphins, the "feel-good" chemicals in the brain."

Men and women have all those hormones but in different levels. But you asked about oxytocin. And all I'm saying is, I like things like music, exercise, physical contact and sex more than puzzles, riddles, jokes, and science. Maybe that has to do with the good feelings of oxytocin.

[Asker]

Maybe you have low testosterone.

[Lliam]

Oh, I have plenty of testosterone. Maybe you just don't like girls.

[Asker]

I literally just had a girl ask me for sexual intercourse and message me tits. Keep dreaming. lmfao.

[Lliam]

So would you rather do puzzles, riddles, jokes, and science or get an oxytocin high off of sex?

[Asker]

I dont get oxytocin highs. I don't think. Maybe I'm not aware of them. I think I got one when I was extremely high on mushrooms. But that's because the Brain is scrambled and being bathed in all sorts of shit. It felt good but not any better than any other high.

If I could click true a 100 times I would. Which it isn't the worst thing in the world. Women are made the way they are made. Where the problem comes in is they don't see the problem of thier addiction. It's ironic that pink anon (30-35) said "what is your addiction, crack"? Because yes, you could compare this addiction of a woman's to crack. She chases feelings far too often without contemplating where it's heading and a vast majority of the time will pay the price for it. Which would be ok if she learned from this mistake. But once again most women don't. Because if she wasn't smart enough to look where she leaped she probably won't be smart enough to learn from it. And because these are all "feelings" for her. She doesn't see any of them as wrong. She thinks, "if I feel it how can it be wrong"? Which means she takes no responsibility for her role in things when it goes south. You hear this repeatedly from women on G@G it's always how this, that, and the other guy did them wrong. Never she ignored every glaring red flag.

I want to try to seduce my neighbor who has a boyfriend by spiking her oxytocin. That'd be hot

[Fireguy17]

I would say true, but so are men.
We get our fair share of overdose calls and it seem to be both men and women.

I wouldn't say they are addicts, but they are slaves to the effects of oxytocin.
