So my bf and I have been going out for a while & we haven't had sex but he's fingered me and i think ever since i have just been sooo attached and whenever he does that to me i just wanna cuddle him and love him forever. i then got really scared because i'm 16 and he's 18... he's going to college next year and i'm soo attached. it's oxyticin. we haven't had sex or anything but if we do, do you think he can get an oxyticin rush? all his guys friend's say that he's "whipped" :p so i guess that's good but say we have sex, is there any position or anything i can do that can help with his oxyticin rush??
Your best bet would be focusing on have an all around healthy relationship, open dialogue and lots of physical affection and lots of communication. That will encourage oxytocin production, but more importantly, it will make your relationship one that is worth continuing.
Oxytocin is a hormone and neurotransmitter. It gets sent through the whole body, as well as the brain. Nothing you eat or take in a pill form can encourage it. (Oxytocin breaks down in your stomach when ingested). Although nasal sprays for oxytocin are possible, their efficacy is still a little bit questionable.
The reliable studies about oxytocin are generally about women, not men. That’s because oxytocin is important during child birth and breastfeeding. Doctors will sometimes inject a woman with oxytocin to stimulate contractions in the uterus and control bleeding during delivery, or to induce delivery. Men and woman both seem to experience an a release of oxytocin in the body after orgasm, so yeah, there is probably more oxytocin in his blood stream after you have sex... Remember tho, there does seem to be such a thing as too much oxytocin as well in people who trust too readily or bond with others indiscriminately… Like everything, it’s got its upside and down side.
Everyone's neurochemistry is a bit different. It's not something you can force or even do too much to encourage. You can encourage oxyticin through avoiding relationship distress and through physical expressions of affection like hugging, cuddling and even simple hand holding, but you are best not to pretend that producing enough oxyticin on the end to all your troubles and the key to relationship bliss.
It’s better, and probably more accurate, to look at this way: The more relationship bliss you encourage, and the better care you take of one another emotionally and take special care of your physical bond, the more oxytocin will be released into your bodies.
