"Oxytocin is a naturally occurring hormone that is produced in the hypothalamus of the brain and is secreted into the bloodstream by the posterior pituitary gland".
It is also known as the 'love hormone' or the 'cuddle hormone' and has been very rightly named.
You ask why? Well, these hormones trigger you psychologically as well as physically. To be more precise, 'oxytocin' turns you on!
Oxytocins bring in the feelings of love and satisfaction. They are produced in both men and women and affect both of them.
However, oxytocins have shown to affect women slightly more than men. It has major effects on the uterus and breast of a woman.
Oxytocins play a very big role at the time of child birth and lactation. This hormone also controls certain human behaviours.
