  • Intranasal oxytocin significantly enhanced orgasm intensity and satisfaction, possibly by boosting dopamine and serotonin activity.
  • Take one or two spays nasally 30-45 minutes before sexual activity.
  •  A low dose is recommended to evaluate individual response.
  • Effects typically last 1-2 hours
  • Dose is typically escalated as you get used to it. 
  • Intended for occasional use to maintain effectiveness (2-3x/week)
  • Using oxytocin alongside natural bonding activities (e.g., touch, sexual playfulness, relaxing intimate activites, eye contact, intimacy) may sustain its positive effects.
