Love And World Orgy Three
We are all a product of chemical reactions and nothing else, and I’ve just discovered something worrying.
A study has found that a hormone called Oxytocin, when administered to Aspergic people, causes their social inhibitions to lessen.
That’s a good thing though, right? Asperger’s is a form of Autism in which people suffer, amongst other things, the inability to interact socially in the way that a ‘normal’ person would; lack of eye contact, a dislike of being touched, that kind of thing.
It’s also the hormone that is released during sex, particularly in women, which causes them to ‘bond’ with their partner, and experience feelings of love and trust. All those feelings are caused by this hormone. Dangerous stuff. Imagine what you could do with it if only you could buy a bottle of the stuff online?
Well guess what, you can. Oxytocin is sold online by numerous vendors, most of which are unscrupulous about the potential manipulation that one is possession of a bottle of the stuff can achieve.
“Discover the power of trust!” one website proclaims in its gleeful call-to-action to buy ‘liquid trust spray’. How sinister? Salespeople, apparently, can get anyone to buy anything from them once they have ‘the power of trust’.
You can even harness the abilities of your fantasies; why not give the finger to unrequited love once and for all and make the subject of your desires love and trust you, without them knowing or even questioning why? It’s like chemical black magic.
Numerous studies have all confirmed that people administered with Oxytocin were much more open and communicative with strangers, and were much less wary of them.
This is all good stuff, in a way, but why not just get drunk?
Could Oxytocin be the new alcohol?
One day, will it be in the tap water? And if it is, what does this mean for human progress if we all grew to love each other intensely without inhibition? If this kind of intense empathy extended beyond the fleeting hour or so experienced by a few on an MDMA-fuelled Friday night?
Would all the violence in the world halt, and instead of quivering in anticipation of World War III and the resulting nuclear winter, will our great great great grandchildren learn in school about World Orgy I, II and III?
