I just glanced at an article on MSN about the ten biggest mistakes men and women make in reference to sex. Not a whole lot to it, but I did learn a little something I didn’t already know:
4. Women don’t understand how men can differentiate so easily between love and sex.
Ian: One of the reasons is that during sex, women produce lots of oxytocin, a hormone that stimulates a strong emotional connection. As a result, women are more emotionally integrated when it comes to sex. That’s why casual sex and hookups often backfire for lots of women. Guys produce little to no oxytocin, and can easily have sex without any sense of emotional connection. It’s sex with no emotional strings attached.
Interesting. Makes a lot of sense to me. Maybe the bit about the oxytocin isn’t new to you, but I’ve learned something today. I never thought about there being a chemical reason, but I guess that really should’ve been a little obvious.
