Anwar White explains why sleeping with someone before exclusivity often backfires. Men's brains release less vasopressin during sex, making them less likely to bond, while women's dopamine response creates attachment. Waiting for exclusivity protects you from being categorized as casual.

Jessica Tiara said, met up with a guy that I've been talking to. Well, number one, we don't talk to men. We're courted by them. The attraction was so high, we slept together. Now he's pulling away. Help. Girl, when we hook up with guys very early, they put you in a category, and now you are in the friends with benefits or jump off category. No shade. So this is why I recommend for everyone that I know my clients to, to not sleep with men until you're in an exclusive relationship. And I know that sounds so prudish, and I hope y' all know I am not a prude, but you get chemically bonded. What's happened here is you slept with him and your dopamine has actually chemically bonded to him. His vasopressin has decreased, so he actually doesn't feel as connected to you. So that's why he's away.
Yeah. Don't sleep with these men, girl. You will turn them off.
