It gives a great read on more than just the body but what the brain goes through. I bet if more kids read this BEFORE they had sex, they may double think or at least give pause. Parents/guardians/grandparents, buy this book and leave it laying around for the young people in your lives -- it could make a real difference! ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Recently discovered realities *by L***R on Reviewed in the United States on September 28, 2010* In our present media and popular culture, much is being said and believed about human sexuality (especially for and by those under 25) that psychologically and emotionally is not real and not true. Amid all of the popular agendas and hype, HOOKED can give you some objective facts about our human body and psychology concerning sex without marriage. Most people know little about the roles of oxytocin and vasopressin. Scientists are now beginning to see and understand the effects of sexual involvement that can last a lifetime. Sex can and should be a positive experience. It should be the intimate interaction between two persons who care for each other. (p.18)The messenger chemical Dopamine makes a person feel good when he or she does something exciting or rewarding.But the beneficial effect of dopamine for the married couple is that it "addicts" them to sex with each other.Another neurochemical that is critically important to healthy sex and bonding is Oxytocin. While it is present in both genders, it is primarily active in females. (p. 35)When a couple is involved in even a short-term relationship and breaks up and then each moves on to a new sexual partner, they are breaking an oxytocin bond that has formed. This severing of the bond explains the incredibly painful emotions people often feel when they break up. Vasopressin seems to have two primary functions related to relationships--bonding of the man to his mate and attachment toy his offspring. Due to the remarkable structural similarity between oxytocin and vasopressin, it should come as no surprise that these two neurochemicals share similar activity. Often referred to as the "monogamy molecule," vasopressin seems to I be the primary cause of men attaching to women with whom they have close and intimate physical contact. The longer people are together, the stronger their bond can become. When that bond is broken, more damage is done than simply the loss of the relationship. The neurochemical imprint of that sexual experience remains, often for many years, impeding the very bonding process that leads to future healthy relationships. (p. 77)HOOKED is well worth purchasing and reading, especially for the price that I received at Amazon. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ THE REAL DEAL: Great Backup/Alternative to Faith!!! *by O***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 13, 2011* This book has terrific content and for those who want to learn about this topic or wonder how to teach their children, peers or anyone about sex before marriage. A magnificent learning/teaching tool!In short, the book describes what Sex really is, what counts as Sex according to the brain and then explains all the psychological and emotional repercussions on the brain as a consequence to any kind of sexual activity.Every statement is supported with facts and stats and this is another huge argument as to why we should wait to be involved in sexual activity until we're in a truly lifelong relationship (usually only found in marriage).This book does not talk about God, or faith. Every argument is purely scientific and based on statistics and recent studies. A little preview.Reasons to remain Abstinent:1.- Possible Sexually Transmitted Disease (as of 2008 more than 70 million americans were living with some kind of sexually transmitted infection and each year, a whopping 19 million new cases are contracted)2.- Possible Pregnancy3.- The REAL Psychological and Emotional Risks one takes while having "casual sex" (there's no condom or contraceptive for protecting the influences of sex on the brain) backed up with results from recent studies.This book is the real deal and it is a great tool for parents, teachers and religious people who'd like to have more arguments as to why we should be abstinent outside of marriage. It scientifically shows how and why we are made to share this part of our lives with only one person. We were created that way.HIGHLY RECCOMENDED! --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1469278-hooked-new-science-on-how-casual-sex-is-affecting-our](https://www.desertcart.co.th/products/1469278-hooked-new-science-on-how-casual-sex-is-affecting-our) --- *Product available on Desertcart Thailand* *Store origin: TH* *Last updated: 2026-06-10*
