There are several neurochemical processes that occur during sex, which are the ‘glue’ to human bonding which is why breaking up from a sexual relationship is sometimes much more emotionally painful and much harder to forget than one that didn’t involve sex.
According to a report on Christian Post, neuropsychologist Dr. Tim Jennings said: “When you have premarital sex, your reward circuitry is bonded to them now, and it will be much deeper and hurtful. Oftentimes, in breakups of people who’ve been sexually active, they can’t tolerate the sense of emptiness, so they rush into another relationship.
The neuro circuits did not have time to reset, and so they’re impaired in their ability to bond with the next person, and they may become sexually active with them. This is just a repetitive cycle, and there are real impairments in bonding going on.”
“Knowing how these neurochemicals interact and change the brain help us understand why sex is meant (to be kept) within the boundaries of marriage.”
There are three powerful and important products released during sex between a man and a woman in a committed relationship which helps couples bond. These are theDopamine, Oxytocin and Vasopressin.
Dopamine, a powerful chemical is internal pleasure/reward system. When someone is involved sexually, it makes him or her want to repeat that act. Their brain produces lots of dopamine which is compared to heroin on the brain and when dopamine is involved, it changes how one remembers.
The other part is oxytocin, which is designed to mainly help one forget what is painful. Oxytocin is a hormone produced primarily in women’s bodies. When a woman has a child and she is breastfeeding, she produces lots of oxytocin, which bonds her to her child. For this reason, mothers will die for their child, because they’ve become emotionally bonded due to the oxytocin that is released when they’re skin-to-skin with their child. When a woman becomes intimate with a man, her body also releases Oxytocin and she becomes emotionally bonded to him.
“Have you wondered sometimes why a woman will stay with a man who’s abusing her? We know now, it’s because she bonds to him emotionally, because of the Oxytocin release during sex,” a report said.
On the other hand, men produce Vasopressin also referred to as the monogamy hormone, and it serves the same purpose as Oxytocin. It bonds a man to a woman.
Working together, the two hormones and one chemical produced by the human body during sex helps to bond a man and a woman together for long-term relationship but while these “bonding” agents are great for marriage relationships, they don’t work so well for dating relationships as they could cloud your objectivity when searching for a life partner. When they are introduced in casual sexual relationships, however, they can cause much trouble

Not bad.

This explains what has been happening to me. These hormones are the reason people say love is blind cos they tamper with our sense of reasoning. They make us not get over our exes too.
