Decrypting Sex Hormones

Did you ever wonder why sometimes we feel like a meek kitten, spiritless or tame? While on some occasions we feel excited like a sex goddess and a passion guru. That is how hormones drives our emotional feeling to something, to a situation and to someone. Hormones like Oxytocin which was referred as the love hormone contributes the feeling of infatuation. The Testosterone which is the libido driver gives us the urge of heavenly highness.

These hormones were also the reason why we feel nervous, uneasy and cold while approaching someone that we find attractive. Hormones are working to our body to this particular moments, which gives lovers the endeavor to express their love and lust. Turning the first glance into a lasting relationship characterize with overflowing and satisfying sex life.

"A set of male and female hormones generated in our body at different stages of a relationship play a vital role in making or marring our sex drive, libido or sexual desires,"

said, Dr Pankaj Aggarwal , a Delhi-based endocrinologist.

Now here are little fact about the libido-governing hormones that constitutes the major recipe of our sex life:

1. Testosterone:

Needless to say this is the first stage of love(for boys...lol :p) which is pure lust and the final performance in bed. The landmark of the relationship which was driven by this hormone. So everytime your eyes meet someone attractive, the body secretes testosterone,while the mind feels "in Love".

Known to be the male hormone, testosterone governs libido and performance in males to a larger extent. But, a generous helping of this male hormone is also produced in women to improve their sexual desire, arousal and sexual response. "Note that high levels of testosterone alone doesn't result into a higher sex drive, it needs to be a combination of hormones working together," adds Aggarwal.

The bottomline is whatever we feel, we must be very careful and we should realize that we are the one responsible to our actions. Lastly, love must not be disregarded in every relationship.
