Becoming a Dad | Dr. Tara Swart

When you do become.

A dad, oxytocin goes up, testosterone drops. You become much more about, like, cuddling and bonding and wanting to stay in the home and look after the interesting mum and the baby.

Also, if the baby sleeps in the.

Same room as you, then your testosterone levels drop even more. Why is that? Because you're.

Because the oxytocin's.

Becoming like, you know, higher and higher. Because you've got this cute little warm.

Thing that smells.

So nice and is so like vulnerable and dependent on you and it's like in the room with you. But are women attracted to men with less testosterone?

They are when.

Not fertile, but they.

Are not when they.

Are at peak fertility. Really?

So mid cycle.

When you're ovulating, you're going to want a bad boy and the rest of the time you're going.

To want a nice man that will stay at home and help you look after the baby.
