Sometimes when I am kissing somebody, I don't feel any emotion or feel h, other times I do, are the times I don't mean my heart has become cold?

I suspect this behavior might have arisen from food sharing in our non-human ancestors.

People claim kissing makes them feel all good and its all magical and such but I don't feel it at all.

That's normal bro; you'll never like everything that everyone else likes.

Kissing (with tongue) is a way to exchange germs so your offspring doesn't catch something. This is primarily needed if you have a fast path between meeting somebody and having sex. To me both tongue kissing and sexual intercourse is equally disgusting.

I prefer hugs from ladies, and non-tongue kissing.

I find kissing to be very repulsive. I never did understand what the point was.

The lips are packed with nerve endings and a kiss sends information to the limbic system and releases oxytocin, and some other hormones I think.
Oxytocin increases feelings of calm and trust, as well as "love".
There's also a theory that kissing is an instinct that serves to transmit information about the partner's taste, smell, and sound, and thus giving more information on whether or not that partner is compatible with ourselves.


That was fascinating. Thanks for sharing!

Could this Oxytocin be synthesized and used to create some sort of love potion?

I don't believe any of this Oxytocin stuff. Oxytocin is just a marker of the state related to crushes, and so has no causative route at all. This is similar to serotonin being a marker of status, and also having no causative route. But it is no wonder that big farma want to sell their s**t be claiming a causative route.

Besides, the real thing (a crush) isn't that hard to get, so why take supplements when the real thing is so much easier and better?

A crush is easy for me to get but harder for girls to get (with me as the focus). Since it's so hard for girls to develop a crush on me I thought I could help them with this task.

Ahh, but how do you make sure it is you they get a crush on and not some other guy? :wink:
