If they have found a remedy or answer to the attraction of men to opposite sex, how about the attraction of women to opposite? Here is the study.. A new study, published in the Journal of Neuroscience, shows that when men in relationships are given oxytocin, they stay a farther distance away from unknown, attractive women.
