Jeffrey asks whether males produce prolactin and/or oxytocin and
describes a warmth that spreads through his chest when seeing a baby
feed. I understand that oxytocin is the hormone responsible for
orgasm in both males and females, but I wonder if he is describing
another phenomena. I have heard Gene Cranston Anderson speak on
kangaroo care and describe a "heat pad" that seems to come into action
on the chest of both males and females during kangaroo care. I
wonder if this is what you experience Jeffrey? Ever tried kangaroo
care?

Touched by all your messages of sympathy. What a wonderful group you
are. We had a huge ecumenical memorial service here today, as we try
to start the healing process. There are no answers though.
