MAKING FIENDS

OXYTOCIN is a hormone released during pregnancy and at the point of orgasm in both males and females. However, it is released in higher amounts in women. Oxytocin is referred to as the “bad decision” hormone and is the reason why people often wait until right after sex to ask their partner really complicated questions. It is also known as the “pairing” hormone. This is why sex/orgasm without emotion is really difficult. When it is released, you “pair” with the person you are having sex with– on a chemical level! This is how FWB find themselves catching feelings for one another. Or you could think of it like this, if you have a shitty FWB who doesn’t get you off, you probably won’t catch feelings lol :p
