Researchers claim having sex inspires spirituality and even belief in God.

研究發現，做愛會激發人的靈性，甚至鼓勵人相信上帝。

According to the research, sex releases a ‘love hormone’ oxytocin not only promotes social bonding, altruism but also divinity – especially in men.

根據研究，尤其是對於男性，性愛會釋放「愛的荷爾蒙」催產素，能夠強化社交連結，利他精神與神性。

Researchers at Duke University, in North Carolina, say that sex could inspire a belief – or an increased belief – in God and religion.

The study published this week look at oxytocin a hormone which is often stimulated during sex, childbirth, and breastfeeding.

It also comes in medication form and is often used to help women in labour.

But in the study, men reported a greater sense of spirituality shortly after taking oxytocin and their feelings continued a week later.


‘We were interested in understanding biological factors that may enhance those spiritual experiences.

Oxytocin appears to be part of the way our bodies support spiritual beliefs.’

To test the chemical reaction some of the men were given the hormone whilst others took a placebo.

The men who got a dose of the ‘love hormone’ were more likely to say that spirituality was an important part of their lives.

And not all of them had previously said that faith was a part of their lives. They also expressed a feeling of unity with other people and living things.



Dr Van Cappellen adds that another study needs to be carried out with women as the chemical operates differently between genders.

She added: ‘Spirituality is complex and affected by many factors.

‘However, oxytocin does seem to affect how we perceive the world and what we believe.

‘Oxytocin's effects on women's spirituality still needs to be investigated.’
