Interesting little snippet in New Scientist this week. A quick snort of Oxycontin improves your empathy but only if you are male.
The trust hormone, it seems, is also the mind-reading hormone. A sniff of oxytocin, which underpins social attachment among animals, also turns out to improve men's ability to read other people's emotions.
Two years ago, researchers reported that oxytocin increases trust. Now a team led by Gregor Domes at Rostock University, Germany has investigated one of the basic components of trust: emotional recognition.
The researchers sprayed oxytocin up the noses of 30 men and tested how well they could read the emotions conveyed by photographs of eyes taken in real-life situations. Twenty of them performed significantly better on the test after sniffing the hormone (Biological Psychiatry, vol 61, p 731). Domes suggests that oxytocin could be investigated as a treatment for people with autism, who struggle to read the emotions of others.

What I want to know is why you didnt think to include the other side of this issue? There are so many things that youre missing here that I dont see how you could actually form an intelligent opinion on the subject. Its like you didnt even consider that there me be another side here. Im kind of disappointed.

Why do people say "The boys only"? oxytocin addiction is does not related with boys only, it applies with all. Sniffing oxytocin is bad habit, but all most people having habit of it. Thanks for this post.

It not any other thing but may be possible. OK, here is my take on hugs...Outside of therapy, how many people have been hugged without being first asked? I am NOT a person who sends off the "I just love to be hugged" vibe, but there have been MANY times when people have ambushed me. Personally, I think if someone ASKED me first it would create MORE discomfort and awkwardness.
