It could be as easy as popping a pill: Scientists race to unlock ‘love drug’ | Mail Online

No pills to cure cancer, yet there are countless drugs and remedys for erections and arousal. Now they are working to fake love…

Too many fools are willing to split with their money in hopes of big, hard erections and easy love.

I am very troubled by the attention that oxytocin is getting right now. It is not a pheromone but a hormone, and I think ethical boundaries can very quickly be crossed if we get to a place where people might have the opportunities to dose someone with oxytocin without consent.

Gotta have your priorities … :open_mouth:

No kidding …

Yes - one thing to dose yourself and something else to dose someone else without their knowing it.

Better to find a pill that will heal a broken heart.

That discovery would be a priceless boon to mankind. The best I’ve been able to come up with is 5-HTP.
