You Don't Love Him. Beware of OXYTOCIN!

"I Think My Boyfriend Boinked Grandma!"

The topic of the Maury Povich show that some poor, excuse making girlfriend is on.

She weeps. Blots her eyes and lipstick. Boyfriend sits there on stage. Legs spread apart. Leaning to one side of the chair. Chewing on a toothpick. Sorry about NOTHING. Eyeing female audience members, staring at breasts and high heels. His gaze on anything but her.

After a damning lie-detector test, she wants to give him another chance.

The audience boos, as they should.

This situation, although typical (especially for this show), begs the question:

Why would a woman want to stay in a relationship like this? I mean, he boinked Grandma for God's sake.

She gives the age-old reason for tolerating said abuse:

"But I love him!"

I wish she knew what I knew. What scientists know. What doggish boyfriends don't want her to know.

What kind of love would stick around after he swam in a pool of nana?

NONE.

It's not love..

It's OXYTOCIN.

Oxytocin explained: (ox-ee-toh-sen)

A mammalian neurohypophysial hormone. Produced by the hypothalamus, stored and secreted by the posterior pituitary gland, oxytocin acts primarily as a neuromodulator in the brain, regulating sensory neurons.

Sensory neurons (touch, smell, sound, light, etc.,) send signals to sensory organs. These sensory organs make up the neuroanatomy.

The neuroanatomy directs INTIMACY and the creation of intense chemical emotional bonds.

What does this have to do with the weeper?

It's released during ORGASMS.



The more orgasms you have with him, the more this chemical is released, the more you (feel you) bond with him. Keep in mind, YOU'RE bonding with HIM. That doesn't mean he's bonding with YOU. If you have a strictly sexual relationship, then more than not,

He's not bonding at all.

Men don't release oxytocin during sex. They release it during hugging and hand holding and most often..

And I'm serious here,

When petting their dogs. #wompwomp

This lack of hormone is what makes men MEN. This is why they can walk away without a care.

It's not cruel, it's chemical.

It doesn't stop at orgasms. Women also release this magic hormone when breastfeeding. If not for oxytocin, mommies might abandon their babies.

Aside from the unintended attachment to fuckboys, we need this stuff.

It can stave off depression, and help you stay happy.

So if you're attached to Mr. Wrong, blame your brain and those pesky orgasms.

If he's a douche but you keep sticking around ask yourself, what's love got to do with it?

Lots of times,

NOTHING.
