Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Oxytocin is known as the "love hormone" and plays a role in promoting relaxation and feelings of bonding and trust, particularly after sexual activity. Estradiol and progesterone are hormones primarily involved in the female reproductive cycle, while prolactin is involved in milk production and may play a role in sexual arousal and satisfaction, but it is not specifically linked to post-orgasm relaxation.
