Really enjoyed the discussion about oxytocin! I've heard of this (admittedly strange) phenomenon called the "birthgasm", where pregnant women who deliver a baby feel a sensation similar to that felt during an orgasm because of oxytocin's role. I've been learning about epigenetics as well. Fascinating stuff.
A great read, thanks. The effects of oxytocin might be a little more complicated than "love," however...
