Do I Like You or Was I Just Ovulating: Attraction, Hormones, Attachment Styles & Toxic Chemistry

Come Curious

Show Notes

Is it chemistry… or is it just hormones?

Florence and Reed dive into the science and psychology of attraction - exploring dopamine, adrenaline, ovulation, attachment styles and why the people who make our nervous systems go wild aren't always the people who are actually good for us.

We get into:

The brain chemistry behind attraction and obsession

Can ovulation really change who we fancy?

Why intense chemistry doesn't always mean compatibility

Hot-and-cold behaviour, anxious attachment and addictive relationship cycles

Gen Z, phones during sex and what it says about intimacy

K'nk, consent and the criminalisation of str4ngulation in 🌽

How alcohol, stress and hormones can seriously influence our decisions

And because this is a watershed episode, our Patreon members get the unfiltered second half - including some very candid stories about recent sexual experiences, orgasm denial, roleplay, tickle torture and the mental aftermath of intense play.

Maybe you don't like them. Maybe you're just ovulating. Learn more about your ad choices. Visit megaphone.fm/adchoices
