If anything can be infinite, it is love. Simply because there are so many varieties. But what exactly is love, what is it good for, what kind exactly do we feel – and how intensely? We have looked at the map of love for you.
“I love you” – this phrase is the highest feeling for many. Until this statement is made, a number of biochemical and electrical events are taking place in our bodies. Depending on the phase of the relationship, the cuddle hormone oxytocin is released more and more. Result: Breathing and heart rate slow down, tension decreases, we feel safe.
During birth, oxytocin – translated from Greek as ‘ease of delivery’ – causes the uterus to contract during contractions, releasing breast milk and strengthening the bond between mother and child.
More stable relationships due to more oxytocin
According to research, adults who experienced a lot of loving touch in childhood and were therefore able to release a lot of oxytocin can have more stable relationships.
And researchers also know that the infatuation phase in humans can last up to two years, during which time oxytocin release is particularly high. By the way, an orgasm can quadruple.
But out of bed again, towards felt love. Where exactly do we feel this stunning feeling that can send us into a rush of happiness or even deepest sadness?
