http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Oxytocin
Oxytocin (Greek: "quick birth") is a
mammalian (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mammal) hormone (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hormone)
that also acts as a neurotransmitter (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Neurotransmitter) in the
brain (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brain). In women, it is released mainly after distension of the
cervix (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cervix) and vagina (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vagina)
during labor, and after stimulation of the nipples (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipple), facilitating
birth (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Childbirth) and
breastfeeding (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Breastfeeding), respectively. Oxytocin is released during
orgasm (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Orgasm) in both sexes. In the brain, oxytocin is involved in social
recognition and bonding, and might be involved in the formation of trust between people.

If this is released after stimulation of the
nipples (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nipple) it should be making women a little turned on/horny.. Or
am I getting this totally wrong?
