A new ‘love drug’ which may offer hope to millions of shy people is being researched by scientists in US, Europe and Australia. Oxytocin, a hormone that is naturally produced during sex and childbirth, promotes romantic feelings and helps mothers bond with their newborn babies.
According to the Daily Mail, research is showing that this hormone reduces anxiety levels, eases phobias and facilitates social contact. This is also found to be a safe product with no side effects, and it isn’t addictive - positively good news for the 60% of Britons who suffer from shyness.
And this is great news for shy men in particular. Living in a society where it is still commonly assumed that men take the initiative when it comes dating, this new discovery will offer new hope for millions. I recently received an email from a young man who described how his shyness was crippling his life. He was too shy to speak to women, much less ask one out on a date and he feared that meeting and falling in love with someone would elude him forever. This new ‘love drug’ may offer hope for him and for millions of shy men, who until now have been suffering in silence. For these men, dating success may not be so far off on the horizon after all!
