winterbadger"...sex kicks the attachment hormone into overdrive"
This is, I gather, something that a Daily Beast columnist discovered in conversation with a biological anthropologist.
Hmmm. I think I first found that out, by process of experimentation, in 1983. Didn't even take actual sex either, just some heavy petting. It is not often, I suppose, that a young college man finds that he has suddenly been overcome by a great desire for closeness and commitment, while his partner has not. And the effect lessens as one grows older and more cynical, I think. But this is still one of those scientific discoveries that used to make my mother, bless her, say, "Really? How much money did they spend to find out that swallowing nickels is not good for you? I could have saved them a lot of that."
