Recent research has shown that oxytocin may have many other far-reaching effects

particularly when it comes to relationships and emotional involvement. Oxytocin is the

reason why we form all sorts of deep connections not only with our children, but with our

partners, friends and even our pets and is often called the "bonding hormone."

Oxytocin also plays a huge role in the non-procreative aspects of sex. Research has

shown, for women, not only is oxytocin released during orgasm, it appears to be

responsible for causing orgasms in the first place.

Research indicates that oxytocin causes the nerves in the genitals to fire spontaneously,

and this leads to powerful orgasms. In women, during orgasm, oxytocin levels become

stratospheric. During peak sexual arousal, if a woman's brain is flooded with oxytocin,

she may indeed be capable of multiple orgasms.

Sometimes called “the cuddle hormone”, oxytocin is released in response to a variety of

environmental stimuli including skin-to-skin contact and cervical stimulation experienced

during sex. At normal levels oxytocin encourages a mild desire to be kissed and cuddled

by your lover. Being touched (anywhere on the body) leads to a rise in oxytocin levels.

This causes a cascade of reactions within the body, including the release of endorphins

which results in both biological and psychological arousal. The nerves in erogenous

zones such as the earlobes, neck and genitals become sensitized by the effects of

oxytocin. It promotes a bond of intimacy, closeness and desire which increases sexual

receptiveness and the desire to be touched further – being touched further causes even

more oxytocin to be released and so desire and arousal is heightened even more.

Given its ability to generate deep and profound emotional connections, and its ability to

fuel feelings of sexual intimacy and desire culminating in powerful orgasms, oxytocin

really is the nearest thing to a love drug.
