The mad, passionate "I can't live without you" feeling is Dopamine. It is the pleasure/ reward chemical that is released during "non-intimate" sex, normal feeding (esp. carb heavy meals), and when you do anything that the body generally considers "good." (i.e, eat, sleep, fuck).
Withdraeal symptoms: classic drug withdrawal (loss of appeitite, sleeplessness, depression, etc) useally lasts for intense 3-5 minute intervals w/ general discomfort. Pain is felt more acutely as well.
Oxytocin is the bonding chemical. This is much rarer for males, hence the tendency to become addicted to sources of it. It is the "bonding" chemical brought about by phsyical contact with another person. We are are wired to our mothers, and they to us, primarily due to this chemical. Necessary for female orgasm. IS NOT PRODUCED IN A HIGH TESTOSTERONE ENVIROMENT. Test and Oxy are antagonistic to each other. In other words, you'll never bond w/ someone you are trying to dominate.
You can stimulate Oxytocin release in females by:
A lot of skin on skin contact
rubbing the head/ petting hair
saying theri name
hugging for over 15 seconds.
