It’s nowhere near as intensely intimate and doesn’t cause the same gut-spilling and bonding, as [Instant Honesty](https://a314.com/product/instant-honesty/), but definitely does a fair bit. > [@oxytocin spray and fear](https://pheromonetalk.com/t/oxytocin-spray-and-fear/76): > > [http://www.corante.com/brainwaves/archives/2005/12/29/a\_love\_spray\_for\_the\_fearful.php](http://www.corante.com/brainwaves/archives/2005/12/29/a_love_spray_for_the_fearful.php) The analysis of love has moved from the embrace of poets into the arms of science. A recent series of precise studies reveal some of the key brain areas and molecules, like oxytocin, involved in the ability to love and bond with others, according to December’s [Brain Briefings](http://web.sfn.org/content/Publications/BrainBriefings/love_andthe_brain.html). This research creates a better understanding of how the brain controls love and bonding, which is critical for species survival. In ad… That was from summer of last year.
