A short YouTube video (creator: Anne Truong MD) explains that during foreplay sensory stimulation (hugging, kissing) raises oxytocin, which creates a positive feedback loop via the pituitary to release more oxytocin. The speaker asserts this amplifies sexual arousal and supports relationship-building, and emphasizes oxytocin’s roles beyond labor and lactation ("the love hormone").

So is this interesting? It probably play an important role in foreplay. As in foreplay, you stimulate your senses, you hug, you kiss, and then that feed into a positive feedback loop. Remember what I said? The more oxytocin level you have, it's a positive feedback loop into the pituitary to release more. So it will actually help you have more sexual arousal, which then releases more oxytocin. Would then have more sexual arousal, which then will help with as well as relationship building as well. So it's not necessarily just a hormone that's involved in labor and childbirth. And lactation is an important hormone, really the love hormone of beyond just sex, but really developing trust and relationship building as well as sexual arousal.
