Forget Viagra, the 'cuddle drug' could be the new way to boost performance in the bedroom, according to the Daily Mail. Apparently, inhaling the cuddle chemical oxytocin can cause improvements in sexual problems on a par with Viagra.

so what do you do for a cuddle lasting more than four hours?
involved only a single patient with a specific condition.
Whada dumb article why even mention it
Fall asleep.
Because in a society that is obsessed with sex, and yet seems to have a terrible time actually doing it in any normal way, this sort of thing attracts readers.
Especially in this cold weather - if you’ve got your spouse, a baby, some catz, and several blankets, everything’s good until the alarm goes off in the morning.
I thought Jack Daniels already made a “cuddle chemical.”
A little more from the article:
Oxytocin is a hormone naturally released by pregnant womens bodies to relax and open the birth canal prior to labour, although both men and women secrete it in small amounts during everyday life. It is also thought to be released after male and female orgasm, and the hormone is currently being investigated as a treatment for a variety of psychiatric conditions including anxiety, schizophrenia and borderline personality disorder.
Todays news headlines are based on study where one man was given oxytocin to treat social avoidance and behavioural problems. Oxytocin is not currently licensed for this use. It did not improve the mans social phobia, but it did cause him to become more spontaneously affectionate, and improved all aspects of his sexual function.
As the trial involved only a single patient with a specific condition, it is not known whether the results will apply to other men with similar conditions. Also, without comparing the use of oxytocin with Viagra we cannot tell whether it truly is more effective, as newspapers have claimed. In short, medical trials in more than one person are needed to see whether intranasal oxytocin could be a safe and useful therapy to improve male sexual function.
