Yes, Jeff, you do produce prolactin and oxytocin, just not nearly
as much as your wife and other women.  Women also produce the male
hormones, but again, not in the levels that males do.  Both males and
females have increases in prolactin following love-making, for example.  I
figure this is Nature's way of "sealing" the intimacy and connectedness
people feel during this period.  Anyone disagree? Agree?
