Heterosexual females not using birth control pills who are ovulating (high levels of estrogens) have a preference for the scent of males with low levels of fluctuating asymmetry. [9] Ovulating heterosexual females also display preferences toward masculine faces and report greater sexual attraction to males other than their current partner. [10]
At least two uncontrolled studies have found increases in plasma oxytocin at orgasm in both men and women. [77] [78] Plasma oxytocin levels are increased around the time of self-stimulated orgasm and are still higher than baseline when measured five minutes after self arousal. [77]
[48] Once the men returned home, it was found that oxytocin levels were higher in those men who had hunted for longer periods of time. As a result of the longer time period spent hunting, the increased levels of oxytocin were thought to be interconnected with familial social contact dating back to humans’ evolutionary past.

Oxytocin is another chemical in the feel good cocktail that orgasm produces and one that affects women more so than men—namely because “when female brains develop in utero there are more ...
As a result of greater vasoconstriction, while the surface of female skin is colder than male skin, the deep-skin temperature in females is higher than in males. [42] Males have less subcutaneous fat in their faces due to the effects of testosterone. [43] [better source needed] Males generally have darker skin than females.
5-DHT or DHT is a male reproductive hormone that targets the prostate gland, bulbourethral gland, seminal vesicles, penis and scrotum and promotes growth/mitosis/cell maturation and differentiation. Testosterone is converted to 5-DHT by 5alpha-reductase, usually with in the target tissues of 5-DHT because of the need for high concentrations of ...
In fact, cuddling, kissing or having sex (with orgasms in particular) triggers the body to release the hormone oxytocin (aka “the love hormone”), which causes people to feel more bonded with ...
An increase in levels of oxytocin, glucocorticoids, estrogen and prolactin occur in the paternal brain. [13] [59] These hormonal changes occur through the father's interaction with the mother and his offspring. [1] Oxytocin levels are positively correlated with the amount of affection the father displays towards the child. [60]
