Oxytocin is a unique hormone. Exogenous doses of other hormones (testosterone, DHEA, Thyroid . . .) cause your body to suppress its production of that hormone. Not oxytocin. Nasal oxytocin triggers the body to release more of its own from its many other sources such as: the retina, the pineal gland, ovaries, testicles, adrenals, thymus, pancreas, the uterus, the placenta and the prostate. It's a classic case of more begets more. Oxytocin AXXXcelerator is a fast action nasal protocol designed to quickly raise the adult man or woman's oxytocin level, enhancing his or her libido, desire, sexual endurance, empathy, relaxation and bonding capacity.

Oxytocin as a Libido Booster |
|
Oxytocin boosts libido in both men and women in a number of ways. 1. It reduces the stress hormones that constrict blood flow to the skin. This goes for the penis and the clitoris. 2. oxytocin lives in the testis where it affects steroidogenesis and sperm transport. 3. Oxytcin is also present in human seminal plasma of normal as well as vasectomized subjects. Moreover, injecting oxytocin into a richly vascularized vagina supports depression. In the now famous college girl experiment <http://www.springerlink.com/content/wrkl9lc5ueu43rh8/> Arch. Sex. Behav. 2002;31:289-93 it was revealed that girls who don't use condoms are less depressed than those whose partners use condoms. I'm not advocating unsafe sex here but the study clearly demonstrates that girls who get a shot of transdermal oxytocin in their semen are happier than those who don't. Their better moods are not just a feature of promiscuity, because the girls using condoms were just as depressed as girls practicing total abstinence. Girls who didn't get their oxytocin from semen made fewer suicide attempts and performed better on cognition tests. 4 Oxytocin stimulates female sexual receptivity and is a primary driver of pleasure during lactation and breast feeding. 5. Countless oxytocin experiments have proven that oxytocin is released by the five senses: vision, hearing, touch, smell and taste all of which are tied into the sexual experience. When you stop to think about it, if reproduction is a species most important role, what are our five senses for if not to stimulate sexual urges? 6. Orgasms help both men and women experience greater orgasms, including nipple orgasms. At the same time orgasms increase oxytocin release by 365%.
Oxytocin, Empathy, Poker, and Judgement
Because oxytocin works at the 5ht1a serotonin receptor site it is an empathogenic which means it raises our emotional IQ. Oxytocin helps us to "read" others better and are better able to make subtle changes in our behavior such that social interfacing goes smoother. This facilitates richer more honest interpersonal experiences. Some MD's call it legal ecstasy. This is why it has become such an invaluable tool for the medical community in studying Autistic and Aspergers sufferers. This also goes for the act of making love. Oxytocin can help you become a more astute observer of the human persona both in and out of the bedroom. Improving our powers of perception is why poker players use oxytocin to fine tune "tell" perception. Its also why they all wear hats and sunglasses inside, to keep the competition out of their minds. Poker players are highly perceptive individuals who pride themselves in being able to tell when someone's vibe (check; hand) isn't right, or if they are bluffing. Yes, the eyes are truly the window to the soul but poker players read everything in clusters, not just one cue, movement, or one gesture. They process the whole picture; the stance, feet position, which direction palms are facing, which direction the fingers are pointed, which way the head is cocked. They can read the thousand subtle cues around the eyes and the mouth. They read speaking pauses, inflections the rhythm. Which way the eyes are pointing. For example looking to the upper left is usually a set up for a lie, unless of course the person is a leftie. Poker players hear it in the voice, the rigidity of the seat, looking around, the good ones can probably smell fear too. Dogs can smell fear, right? Even if you can't consciously smell it, you are biologically hardwired to perceive these things. During these moments of enhanced perception we often need to make critical decisions. Oxytocin helps. According to studies with the Autistic and Aspergers afflicted, exponentially. The bedroom isn't that different. If a feeling that something isn't right surfaces it needs to be dignified and acted upon, preferably without making a big deal out of it.
When in the bedroom, oxytocin helps us to participate more fully in the total being of the other person. Increased perception carries with it the advantages and responsibilities. Be kind. Never force anything. When things are right, and your senses tell you, you are in a good place, all systems are go, you can allow long held back emotions to be released and move forward with fluid gracefulness. Or not. Oxytocin can be your greatest guide. Establishing authentic intimacy and trust is key to a fully realized life. And sex life. Clearly, the latter requires a supportive, sympathetic, co-operative partner who is just as hooked up to you as you are to them. Oxytocin, with its relaxing, bond building and balancing hormonal action can support and guide your body such that you are more able to identify, select and pursue a viable partner with whom you can ride to the highest level of human sexual experience.

Oxytocin, stress, and the amygdala |

Oxytocin, stress, amygdala
Any conversation about sex and stress must always start with a discussion about the amygdala. Stressful emotional memories are all processed then stored by the amygdala, or, amygdala's, as there are actually two of them. Recent brain imaging studies have shed much light on the power of the amygdala's. It is a critically important part of our emotional structure. 1. The Amygdala is a sexually differentiated organ meaning that it is different in men, women and even homosexuals. 2. The amygdala holds tremendous sway over our sex lives. Erections and orgasms are triggered in the amygdala. The ability to feel specific sexual desire, or preference for a certain food, the ability to feel love and affection for a specific gender, all complex emotions, including the ability to feel religious ecstasy is made possible by the amygdala. What does a straight Palestinian woman and a male homosexual Jew have in common? Hint; it's not a strip of land. Most homosexual men and straight women have almost identically constructed amygdala's. vis a vis, most straight men and lesbians have identically shaped amygdala's.
We now have proof positive that the amygdala is where we bury the sense memories of good and bad things that have occurred to us over the course of our lives: the lies, the betrayals, rip offs, rape: these are all stored in the amygdala. Terrors, fears and phobias are all stored in the amygdala-and the hippocampus. If you fell in love with a girl and she walked out on you wearing a yellow dress, every time you saw a yellow dress it would trigger the emotional memory of her. Emotional memories of pop songs are buried in the amygdala. Your memory of how she smelled is harbored in the amygdala. The amygdala is directly involved in the perception of sexual pheromones. The amygdala is factual, visual, nasal, tactile and auditory. Because it possesses facial recognition neurons its job is to constantly survey our environment for items and objects that are of emotional significance to remind us of the dangers from a certain faces, places, scenarios and keep us hyper vigilant, aware of negative patterns, sometimes to the point of paranoia.
The amygdala controls all aspects of social emotional and sexual functioning. Electrical stimulation of the amygdala induces uterine contractions, milk production, ovulation and erections in males. The amygdala also controls cortisol. Most of you know cortisol as the fight or flight hormone. I call it poison because it is toxic and a chemical weapon of brain destruction. It's also the belly fat hormone. The fact that cortisol toxic is irrelevant to the amygdala. Still, oxytocin keeps cortisol in check. Its job is to come in, round it up and route it back to the kidneys, the bladder and out. None too soon. If it didn't toxic cortisol would eat away at the hippocampus, a major pleasure center of the brain.
Brain imaging studies have shown us that oxytocin does a good job of keeping the amygdala balanced. Oxytocin is so effective at supporting the amygdala that it actually helps us to forget negative experiences. Without oxytocin there would be no reprieve from old hurts. Freud understood that there are times when forgetting is very beneficial. An extreme case of this is when soldiers in the field, under the constant stress of explosions occasionally manifest total amnesia. Or, a woman who is brutally raped is unable to help in the investigation because she has completely erased it from her conscious mind. This is cortisol at work, protecting us from endlessly traumatic memories. So effective is oxytocin at mitigating fears and phobias that in the wild when an animal is threatened oxytocin helps turn their terror into a life preserving still-motion. In such moments of terror they become very, very, still without panicking. This is Mother Nature's way of insuring the survival of the vulnerable in the jungle, not to step on that twig and give up its location.

Oxytocin, Erectile Dysfunction, Stress, Frigidity, and Fear |
|
Erectile dysfunction and reduced libido are usually related to stress, clinical depression, panic disorder, generalized anxiety, diabetes, vascular disease . . . Smoking, antidepressants and alcohol abuse can cause ED. Stress is a big one. A wide variety of chemical reactions occur under stress. Certain neurotransmitters are released in greater and greater amounts. Men are more vulnerable to ED due to stress and are more likely than women to develop aggressive behavior or drug and alcohol abuse. Pharmaceutical drugs like Beta blockers for heart patients and Tagamet for acid reflux can cause ED as well. Whatever the cause, reduced sexual function usually leads to insidiously anxious feelings which leads to even more performance anxiety, more dysfunction, more cortisol. It's a slippery slope. Stress is like a muscle. If you keep using it will get bigger and stronger. Stressful neurons and axons grow just like muscles in the gym. Once in place they enable cortisol readiness, even in the absence of stress! Over time the good neurons and axons are further eroded and with them your sex life.
Erection dysfunction, be it physical or psychological, is so closely tied to the male ego that it always triggers emotional consequences. Emotional stressors steal energy. Rather than fight stress fatigue and sexual apathy with stimulants: (cigarettes = dopamine, or coffee = caffeine, or soda = sugar + caffeine) or other drugs that numb or artificially "push" the endocrine system, the healthy way to go, the only way to go, is to cut off the head of the dragon. The cortisol dragon. And the way to do that is via greater oxytocin release. Oxytocin the most powerful antidote to cortisol that the body has.
Viagra, Cialis and Levitra are very effective ED protocols. They physically stiffen the penal shaft by inhibiting the enzymes (phosphodiesterase-5 and 6) which constrict the circulatory system, effectively opening the flood gates to the groin. In terms of fundamental mechanics, this generation of ED pills is second to none. But, they are a strictly a mask, a targeted treatment protocol that does not address the underlying emotional or neuronal causes. They are concerned with a part of the body, rather than the whole of the body's problem.
Oxytocin's approach to ED and frigidity is much more "endocrine interactive" in that oxytocin activates oxytocin throughout the entire hormonal system. For example, we generate oxytocin in our retina. Take exogenous nasal oxytocin and look someone in the eyes and even more oxytocin will be released via mutual eye contact. Touch triggers oxytocin release. Oxytocin is made in the testes, the ovaries, the adrenals, the pituitary, the pineal gland, the thymus, the pancreas, the uterus, the prostate . . . Team oxytocin! It is literally a case of more begets more. This capacity is completely unique to oxytocin. No other hormone acts in this way in our body. Administer exogenous testosterone or thyroid hormone and the body will mitigate its own production. Just ask any excessive steroid user where his testicles have gone. Or, any Synthroid user why she has to up her synthetic thyroid hormone every year. Yet MD's blithely write more and more of these prescriptions. Keeping in mind that the endocrine system (the pituitary, pineal, pancreas, thymus, pancreas, adrenals . . . ) is the shock absorber of the body, dedicated to helping us to live optimally, doesn't it makes sense to address the entire body, rather than just a part?
The same goes for women. Stress can freeze the female endocrine system into anorgasmia (frigidity), tamper with menstrual cycles, exacerbate amenorrhea (low or absent menstruation), dysmenorrhea (uterine cramps during menstruation) and menorrhagia (heavy menstrual flow and cramps). Stress is emotionally and physically paralyzing. Ask any woman with a sexual issue and she will eventually admit to stress about something: work, boyfriend, husband issues . . . Unfortunately, past sexual traumas are all too common.
