"In humans, oxytocin... is released during sexual orgasm in both men and women." per [link]
Well, spank my ass and call me Sally. Shit makes more sense to me now. I had some cognitive dissonance with the whole dichotomy of thinking that women release oxytocin while men only showed extremely varying degrees of vasopressin, but now you've helped me settle that cognitive dissonance.

Lets just drop everything and go back to the topic.
No, no, please continue...unless this is just your ego's response to you sensing that you're on the brink of learning something new yourself, therefore challenging your current self-view.
If you want to continue further down the rabbit hole, read on:
Let's play a game of pretend.
If we lived in a world where people constantly misinterpret what other people say over the internet, what would that be like? Let's pretend we live in a world where one person named "minsok" read something that a person named "Chief" wrote and made assumptions about Chief that were incorrect.
Could something like this be possible?
If something like this were to happen, let's say some other people jumped in to say some other things to this "minsok," and in response he went off and created a vast network of arguments that may or may not have anything to do with the original content that Chief posted about, or, rather, may or may not have anything to do with the main point that this "Chief" fellow was trying to make. Could this type of reality be possible?
I have a girlfriend. One girlfriend. Exclusive LTR. Been together for more than half a year now.
Knowing this little twist in our tale, maybe you can derive a different message from your initial misinterpretations if you re-read this thread.
I hope this doesn't shut you up because there's a message in what you're saying that I want to get across to everyone else, too. What you're saying just happens to be disguised as unwelcome negativity, but it plants a seed nonetheless.
Did I call myself a PUA before? I sure did. Was I looking for a LTR? Nope. Did a LTR happen anyway? It sure did. Do I call myself a PUA now? Fuck if I know.
As a PUA, would I ever
plan to have a LTR with a girl? No.
Do PUAs generally
avoid exclusivity? Yes.
Do non-PUAs generally avoid exclusivity? No, not really.
Do PUAs want to break hearts? No.
Would it have been wise, as a PUA, to avoid fucking virgins if I didn't know which way the wind would blow, especially when I tended to keep a lot of romantic interests in my life?
Yes.
Pretty sure everyone else already got that point. It really has nothing to do with value or objectification, but rather making sure no one suffers the consequences of getting dragged into something that they had other sorts of expectations for.
