Does this work for everyone?
Researchers says
people are likely to reveal their deepest secrets
during and after orgasms..Lead
researcher,Amanda Denes, assistant professor
at the University of Connecticut says the say
this communication is due to a surge in a
hormone called oxytocin, also known as the
'pro-social' or 'love' hormone. Oxytocin floods a
person's brain immediately after orgasm.
Elevated levels of oxytocin are linked with a
greater sense of trust and reduced perceptions
of threat, in addition to lower levels of cortisol,
a stress hormone.
This combination can create an environment in
which people feel safe disclosing information to
their partner.
But the study found that when mixing alcohol
with sex the opposite is true. Ms Denes said
that immediately after sex, people who have
been drinking are likely to say things to their
partner that they hadn't intended to disclose.
However, this typically consists of less
important information and is less positive than
that of people who drink less on average.
"Oxytocin is an 'upper' and
alcohol is a 'downer,' so it's
not surprising that they have
opposite effects on behavior,'
added Tamara Afifi, Professor
at the University of Iowa, and
co-author of the study.
'People who drink more
alcohol on average perceive
fewer benefits to disclosing
information to their partners.
