Oxytocin is a very interesting chemical. It is released when a mother holds her child. It is bonding on a level that can't really be explained by science.

Cal Berkley (I think) did a study where participants were divided by a wall except for a hole where they held hands. They were given oxytocin nasally and told to try to communicate emotions to the other person without moving their hand. An extreme significance was seen compared to placebo.

Oxycotin is synthetic and is never in the body unless you take it.

OxyContin is a synthetic opioid. OxyTOCIN is the hormone.

Different chemical Oxytocin is the natural one.
