Oxytocin
aka the "cuddle hormone"
It is an
organic compound belonging to the carboxylic acid
functional group.
It also happens to be a hormone & neurotransmitter
Oxytocin is released during
orgasm, social recognition
(i.e. making friends), bonding (when you start to
fancy
that guy/girl you've been chatting with for the last
God
knows how long), anxiety and a number of other relating
events.
This is where it gets its cuddle hormone nickname from.
It plays a large part in female reproduction where it
is released in large quantities during childbirth and
breastfeeding
It is also rumoured that eating dark chocolate slowly
can cause its release.
This
may be why dark chocolate is considered an
aphrodisiac.
Oxytocin and it's many wonders:

amazing orgasm!

2: looks like we don't need men any more LOL
