I've posted previously about the bonding effect of oxytocin - a hormone released during sex. Now there's more evidence of that effect. People who were given oxytocin by nasal spray were found to be twice as likely to give their money to a trustee for investment purposes.
Being more willing to trust may be a liability when making financial decisions with strangers, but it's definitely an asset in relationships. In the context of a loving relationship, sex is certainly more than a chain of chemical reactions - but it's nice to know that your body is working for you during sex to increase connection and trust.
