Love is Strange

Taking the pill or another type of hormonal contraceptive upends this natural dynamic, making less-masculine men seem more attractive, according to a small but growing body of evidence.

Researchers have found that a passionate kiss unleashes a complex chemical surge into the brain which makes a lover feel excited, happy or relaxed. There is also speculation that this hormone release may be triggered directly by an exchange of sexually stimulating pheromones in the saliva.
The study showed that women need more than just a kiss to experience the same chemical high as men — with additional features such as a romantic atmosphere of dimmed lights and mood music also required.
