There’s a little known secret between men and women that explains why women seemingly fall in love more easily than men.  It’s called oxytocin, otherwise known as “the bonding hormone,” or as I like to call it, love bug!

Oxytocin is a hormone that stimulates contractions during the birthing process, is responsible for milk ejection while lactating, and is released during orgasm.

Oh my!

The difference between the effect on men and women is that it can last up to three weeks in women and only three days in men, hence the theory of fatal attraction finally gets retribution.

[bctt tweet=”Each time a woman has an orgasm, oxytocin is released in her body”] and she becomes adhered to the man who caused it.  Or at least, was there when it happened.  So every time the same man and woman have sex, she’s bonded to him, over and over again.

It goes way back to instinct, when women were more reliant on men for survival.  Until she realizes she’s not pregnant by him, or perhaps is, she’s bonded to him for protection of her and her unborn fetus.  Yet when she finds that she’s not pregnant, and her hormones have once again stabilized, she’s basically lost that lovin’ feeling and is left wondering why she was attached to him in the first place.

Now it’s not always that she finds she’s not interested in him.  It’s possible of course that a true bond may have genuinely formed, however there are many times when a woman might think he's the proverbial one, until a few weeks later when they’ve gotten to know each other a little better and she can’t figure out why she was ever attracted to him in the first place.

(Oxytocin is basically a mind f*ck in other words!)

I could’ve spared myself so much needless emotional turmoil over the years, not to mention downright humiliation, had I realized what oxytocin was and how it worked.  Looking back now, I feel cheated, and yet, it’s all become crystal clear.

You see, when body chemistry takes over, it’s uncontrollable.  No matter how much you try to fight the feelings, they persist.  But the good news it's not your fault.  It’s actually due to oxytocin.

Personally, I think it’s totally unfair that guys get away with the long end of the stick.  At the same time though, it explains how they’re not as attached to women after sex as women are to men.

In my opinion, oxytocin may be the single greatest discovery between the sexes since Adam and Eve.  It clears the confusion of unreturned phone calls, ignored text messages and no second date.

Just remember the next time you broach the subject of sex, or dare to dabble, the effects of oxytocin are long-lasting, and powerful.  It’ll help keep your emotions in check and hopefully save you the agony of unnecessary heartache.
