One study involved two groups of healthy heterosexual men. The first category included single subjects. The second is related to long-term relationships. In each group, participants inhaled the hormone oxytocin or a placebo spray. After 45 minutes, they were presented with a woman they had previously rated as attractive (before the participant inhaled the spray). See also: oxytocin — the hormone of social intimacy. It helps to establish psycho-emotional connections between loved ones, friends and marriage partners. Oxytocin also plays an important role in the birth process. Its influence is difficult to overestimate in such areas of human activity as caring for sick people. However, scientists for a long time could not determine what role oxytocin plays in monogamous relationships between men and women.

They were asked what distance they felt more comfortable with when a woman moved closer or further away from the study participant. In other words, they are comfortable with women at any distance and are already “uncomfortable” with them. Rene Hellermann, MD, PhD, University of Bonn and study author, comments. It turned out that single men actually behave this way. But as for men in serious relationships, they stayed away. We believe that this hormone is responsible for fidelity — and that it may be, in the truest sense of the word, a kind of “love potion.” Another scientist, Larry Young, explains that such results have already been obtained in field experiments. It is now clear that the mechanisms of monogamous behavior in humans and animals are almost identical.” Regarding the distance between the subject and the experimenter, oxytocin had no effect on the distance between him and the experimenters.
