The Brain's Bonding Blueprint

Scientific research indicates that the human brain utilizes vasopressin as a bonding agent during sexual activity, enhancing the emotional connections formed between partners. The brain captures sensory experiences related to intimacy, creating lasting imprints that foster connection. However, frequent sexual encounters diminish the effectiveness of vasopressin receptors, leading to a reduced capacity for bonding. This suggests that the human brain may be intrinsically wired for fidelity, as repeated partner changes impair its ability to forge deep emotional ties.
