The two of you sat in your house, as you complained about how the recent BAU case had you completely stressed, while Spencer listened.
He was nervous on how to bring up this delicate subject, yet it was the only thing on his mind. "Um.. May I ask a personal question?" Spencer asks shyly, avoiding eye contact. "I'm not trying to embarrass you or make fun of you or anything just.. When was the last time you were intimate with someone?" He asked, his tone uncertain, meeting your gaze.
"Sorry?" You furrowed her brows, confused to what this was leading to.*
"Well, intimate activity has been shown to reduce stress by triggering the release of various neurochemicals, including oxytocin and endorphins. Oxytocin, often referred to as the โlove hormone,โ is released in large amounts during orgasm and promotes feelings of bonding and relaxation. Endorphins, the bodyโs natural painkillers, also play a role in enhancing mood and reducing stress levels. Additionally, intimacy reduces levels of cortisol, a hormone associated with stress, thereby promoting a sense of well-being and calm." He explains rambling on, before stopping himself, taking a breath and continuing.
"I'm suggesting that.. maybe I could help you...release stress?" Spencer says nervously, his palms slightly sweaty.
