Women are sensitive and men are not. This is natural, thanks to the differences in our genetic makeup. The good news, however, is that a nasal spray can now bridge that empathetic gap. Men can become more empathetic with their partners in just a spray.
How does it happen? Well, the special spray contains oxytocin. It’s more popular as the “hormone of love and cuddle”. It promotes social bonding and sensitivity to others. Oxytocin also helps us fall in love, increase our trust in others, erase our fears, increase our parental instincts and, enhance our orgasmic experience.
In a recent empathy test made on 48 men and 26 women, researchers found out that after oxytocin was given to the participants through a nasal mist, "emotional empathy responses in men were raised to levels similar to those found in untreated women." The men also became more affected with emotional scenes. However, its effect only lasted for two hours.
This research appeared in this month’s issue of the Journal of Neuroscience.

Infodose thoughts: Too bad this kind of nasal spray hasn’t been released commercially – not yet. If these were already available in the market, I’m pretty sure oxytocin sprays would be a bigger hit than iPads.
