Could there be another reason why people cheat? Oxytocin is the cuddle and bonding hormone, AKA the “love hormone”, that helps people form deeper bonds. A study published last year in the Journal of Neuroscience showed that when men in committed relationships were given oxytocin, they stood much further away from attractive women even though they reportedly still found the women very attractive. Committed men who were not given oxytocin reportedly were much more comfortable standing closer to the attractive women. Click here for the actual study.
So, it’s suspected that lower levels of oxytocin may lead people to cheat. What are your thoughts on this?
