... Question of testosterone and oxytocin


Desire is caused by sudden increases of the sex hormones, such as testosterone and estrogen. These hormones cause an insistent push toward physical gratification. When the desire is on, turn on two fundamental parts of the brain, the hypothalamus, which controls our basic instincts, like hunger and thirst, and the amygdala, which is the center of the excitement. In moments of desire secrete large amounts of dopamine, which causes the production of testosterone, which triggers sexual attraction. This is what happens when you see someone for the first time and feel the urgent desire to "own".
A study conducted in 2006 by the University of Chicago has shown that even during a conversation with a stranger in the surface level of testosterone in men rises by a third, and more this hormonal response is strong, the more marked change in the behavior of 'man. The study also showed that the values \u200b\u200bof testosterone in married men and fathers are markedly lower than in single men "flying flower in fiore", visto che chi ha figli si è spostato verso un ruolo di genitore-educatore e ha un livello più alto di ossitocina rispetto agli uomini single, che stanno ancora cercando la donna che permetterà loro di perpetuare il loro patrimonio genetico.
Ovviamente il desiderio si è sviluppato per portare alla procreazione e per assicurare la sopravvivenza della specie umana, ed era necessario anche in condizioni di vita molto difficili, quando non c'era tempo per le storie d'amore. Inoltre la femmina umana può portare avanti solo una gravidanza all'anno, il che significa che, senza desiderio, la specie umana sarebbe a rischio d'estinzione, visto che ci riproduciamo lentamente. Madre Natura ha voluto che fossimo procreatori entusiasti. And 'So when you are in dangerous or threatening situations, such as a war, you may want to suddenly discover the others, even strangers. If our life is in danger, we feel the immediate need to reproduce. (...)

Testosterone is the first of the hormones responsible for sex drive and men produce it in from ten to twenty times more than women. And 'why the male sex drive is so strong and compelling. Testosterone makes men more hairy, big, aggressive and horny women. But men have much less oxytocin in women. Oxytocin, known as the "cuddle hormone" is secreted in large quantities, both men and women during orgasm. Just a man has an erection its oxytocin is dispersed, and that's why the post-coital cuddling are very important for women and less attractive to men.
A study in 2006 by Rebecca Turner, has shown that this hormone is the glue of human emotional attachments. When people are forming a family - or being "in love", as we commonly -, oxytocin levels are high. And 'this hormone to convey what we feel confused and enveloping feeling for the person we want. To leave higher levels of oxytocin than men is the main reason why the beginning of a relationship most women fall in love deeply of men produce more oxytocin, the more will want to take care of their companion and the deeper the bond that will create. Just hearing the name of their love, a smell or a song associated with him, raises levels of oxytocin. Expensive clothes, perfect makeup, pounds of jewels and a late-model sports car is not enough to hide the emotional condition of a woman. If you feel loved and adored, his hormones are pumping blood on her cheeks, the blush and they will radiate heat. Similarly, however, it is easy to understand even if you do not feel loved or cuddled.
What is the difference between men and women? A woman wants one man fulfills his every little need. A man wants every woman that meets his unique needs. David Buss
studies have shown that when couples are in the process of falling in love, in men decreases testosterone levels, while the salt level of oxytocin, which speeds up the process of union. This makes men more gentle, sensitive and easygoing. At the same time, the level of testosterone in women rises in parallel to the excitement and the security alert at the beginning of a new report. This increase of testosterone makes women more desirous, giving the impression that the couple's sexual urges of men and women are equal. When this trombamania is waning, between three and nine months after the beginning of a relationship, the two sex drive return to the default position, leaving the man with the conviction that his beloved has grown tired of sex and giving her the impression that he is a sex maniac. Many relationships end at this point.

(...) It is said that people are affected by the stage of falling in "love sickness". They can not eat, sleep and have repetitive behaviors, compulsive disorders, for example, call your loved twenty or thirty times a day. Today, these behaviors were related to the combination of low levels of serotonin and high levels of oxytocin. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that heightens our feelings of awareness, makes us responsive to what surrounds us and gives us a general sense of wellbeing. Even
depression and eating disorders are associated with low levels of serotonin, and antidepressants are designed to raise these levels. Women naturally produce 30% more oxytocin than men and this, combined with lower levels of serotonin, may explain why it is higher in men tend to "lose your head" for someone to become dangerously obsessive.
