We Spent a Night Together, But He Didn’t Call Me Back. Why?

Have you ever been deeply in love with someone, spend a whirlwind of a few days with them... only to be iced out or ghosted completely? Why the hell do men do that?

One answer might be surprising: our post-coital emotions and behavior are influenced by body chemistry.

After sex, women tend to experience higher levels of the hormone oxytocin, which is released steadily from physical touch. The fastest way to receive it is skin to skin contact, and engaging in physical intimacy will cause a woman’s body to create even more of it.

At the same time, a man’s testosterone levels plummet post-sex, especially during the act of post-coital cuddling, as their oxytocin raises. It makes sense, considering the testosterone producers running wild during arousal and intercourse. Once his hormone levels crash, his body may begin craving another hit to slake its need for more supply. So he may be, without realizing it, disengaging to go do something manly and productive.

What Kind of Medicine Should Aquarius Doctors Practice?

Aquarius peeps might conjure “doctors” like mad scientists raising the dead, or building an army of AI assholes to help take over the world.

They do love their freedom, especially in their headspace. Cutting-edge technology and experimental procedures are fascinating places for them to find their life’s calling. Also, research new diseases — or discovery of cures — will scratch that exploratory itch. (Would you prefer to discover a new disease, off-label uses for drugs, or use creative solutions to universal problems? That’s cool, too.) Psychiatry, particularly research in that vein, could also interest the deep-thinking Aquarius.

Aquarians have a deep love of humanity but often struggle to connect with people on a personal level. Thus, doing something helpful and beneficial for personkind is a wonderful plan!
