I attended an “understanding women” course put in by women 10+ years ago. Very enlightening in many ways. One topic that I learmed about was the bonding hormone, Oxytocin. Oxytocin is released at orgasm, I believe, and women develop bonding feelings with whomever helped produce the oxytocin (and maybe even who was just near her at the time.) This bonding feelings will be with her for 2/3 weeks.
So keeping the oxytocin flowing every 2/3 weeks sounds like a good thing for a relationship.
Now, Mona and my advanced cuddle time has been less frequent lately than normal due to illness or just not being able to see each other. So it’s been about a month in that end.
And lately, I find us arguing more and more. I don’t think it’s a coincidence. Is it the only factor? Probably not. But it certainly isn’t helping.
And actually now that I’ve written this out, this sounds familiar. I think I’ve written this exact post before.
Oh well.
By the way oxytocin is released from many things, like (basic) cuddling, massages, yoga, laughter, gun shooting, etc.
Oxytocin is released by shooting guns? That is NOT good news! I gotta go make sure my ammo is locked up!

That’s one reason why people love shooting guns so much. Because it’s physically simulating
