Infactuation (sp).

I wouldn't call it "love", I'd call it an obsession with the opposite sex.



EDIT: Doh, you're talking about the chemicals (hence the title AND your post), not the stage itself... sorry.

I'd just blame it on the hormones.

endorphines? epinephrine? testosterone? (other hormones?)

Orgasm?

Norepinephrine and dopamine cause your heart rate to rise, and increased serotonin levels cause you to temporarily go insane and lose rational thinking abilities.

I'm thinking he was looking for Dopamine . . ..

I still stick by my "T&A" Syndrome, however.

I call it pre-cum, I'm not sure what the technical term is.
