Oxytocin, sometimes called the “love hormone” or “cuddle chemical,” plays a significant role in bonding and social behavior, particularly after moments of intimacy. When released during sexual activity, oxytocin floods the brain, increasing feelings of trust, intimacy, and attachment. For some individuals, particularly women, this release of oxytocin can lead to a desire for increased closeness and connection with their partner. This may manifest as a tendency to seek physical affection, emotional reassurance, or simply more time spent together, commonly perceived as “clinginess.” Essentially, oxytocin acts as a biological mechanism to reinforce and deepen the bond between sexual partners, promoting feelings of attachment and security. #sexualhealth #intimacy #oxytocin #lovehormone #drgynae
