As a guy I can give you a clear perspective on this. Men are FAR more horny than women. As such, our aritactton doesn't start emotionally. It starts chemically (in our pants). We are more prone to wanting sex than a relationship or love. We do feel the same way when we are in the same position as a woman, but usually we are not in that position. As a young boy (12-20) all us guys think about is sex. We don't realize the emotional consequences. Losing our virginity is of absolute importance. The girl is not. Once we lose our virginity it's about racking up a score. If your boyfriend is saying all the right things then he clearly won't mind waiting a year or two or three. He loves you right? You would wait for him. Why can't he wait for you? Because he just wants to get in your pants. To the girl losing her virginity not knowing why he would want you EVERY guy loves to take a virgins cherry. We trip over eachother to have that honor. Trust me, there are many more of us that would love to be with your body. Now, you need to realize that your mind is worth it too. Until then, don't be with anyone. These are the pitfalls of youth. It's why I recommend waiting till 18. You have learned most of the tricks by then and you are more in control of your emotions. If you think you are smart now then wait till you see the difference a few more years make!

I am very interested in the npdiopeetrue oxytocin we were discussing in class. The whole relationship between oxytocin and bonding being examined is interesting.I come from a large family for todays standards. I am one of seven childrens. 3 of my siblings are biological and 3 of them are adopted. There is a a definite blend in my family but still distinct difference. I am constantly questioning whether genetic children are still preferred over adopted children. My family seems to support kin preservation where the family members gentically related are more favored and supported. We are definitely more connected and protective to anyone we share genetics with.I do have to state that the three adopted were not adopted as babies so they did not get the bonding with my parents like the biological siblings. The youngest one we adopted is more bonded with the family. We got her at age 4 compared to age 8 and 9. Even at that age there was some kind of bonding that made her more part of the family than the other two. She was also developmentally delayed so she acted more like a 2 year old so bonding may have been easier because of this.Honestly the 2 latter children are the free loaders in the bird example. They don't really contribute to the family but just expect to be given stuff. My parents are like the saints taking care of them and trying to help them no matter what.I am curious what age is cutoff to bonding and if it something related to oxytocin. I know the body for mother doesn't got through pregnancy- birth phases when adopting. The bonding seems less natural this way. Adoption seems like more of a struggle and picking right time frame in child's development. Probably any adoption when child is still baby would be preferred. Would there be beneficial to trying to fool the body when adopting that they just had a baby? I know birth control fools the body to thinking it is pregnant so the person doesn't actually become pregnant. Could this help with bonding? Is there any hope to bonding with children that are outside the window of bonding age?
