Sexual healing

In short, the sex drive operates in conjunction with many other neural systems that govern desire, mate choice, romantic love, and attachment, perhaps even mechanisms that detect facial attractiveness, immune system compatibility, and other neural systems we unconsciously use to mate, breed, and rear our young. Yet there is, as yet, no research on the complex effects of these serotonin-enhancing drugs—medications that are likely to jeopardize mate choice, romantic love, marriage, and even fertility.
