A post on how Est makes men cuddly but may reduce sex drive.
Estratetraenol causes the hypothalamus to dump oxytocin into the blood stream and into the surrounding intracellular space of the hypothalamus, specifically the preoptic areas and the nucleus accumbens. Both oxytocin and dopamine bind to the same receptors in these areas.
A little oxytocin is necessary for orgasm. Too little oxytocin and no orgasm can be achieved. Too much oxytocin and he doesn't want to bother because he feels so satiated and satisfied.
Dopamine is necessary for desire. If you block the receptors for dopamine with too much oxytocin he will have no desire.
So there has to be a balance here between oxytocin and dopamine, and the pheromones that influence the the release of these neurotransmitters. So if you are using EST, use it sparingly... if you want to use it successfully to improve your love life.
