Making Men More Sensitive

All it may take is a little nasal spray to give men a quality many women are looking for.
Some women say men aren't sensitive enough..they don't have empathy with others. Researchers tested 48 healthy males giving half of them a nasal spray containing placebo and the other half a nasal spray containing oxytocin.
It's a hormone that triggers labor pains and strengthens the emotional bond between a mother and her new baby.
Then researchers showed the men photos of a crying child, a girl hugging her cat, and a grieving man. The men who received the hormone achieved levels of emotional empathy normally only expected in women.
