Love seems the swiftest, but it is the slowest of all growths. No man or woman really knows what perfect love is until they have been married a quarter of a century.

Oxytocin is the swift part of that .

The myriad ways oxytocin acts to influence humans is really facinating.

Oxytocin is a lot more that something pregnant women are prescribed to induce labor.

It reminds me of The Force of the Star Wars saga. It's just a lot more personal.....

Testosterone is another part.

This is great news. It appears that Bram Stoker might have been right about love and fear in his novel "Dracula". Imagine a novelist in 1897 putting it all together for us in a timeless and lovely story. Now it all makes sense.

I'm going to plead the 5th to that question ... especially if I've just had my levels "elevated" !

Testosterone may stimulate events but is it swift ? Oxytocin is a swift reaction to certain "stimuli" . Please watch the linked video ...
