Perfect Husband-Making Clinic is Gamic, Not Gimmick !
Published: Dec 09, 2007 - 04:31 PM
SO BUSY ARE MANY WOMEN IN SELF-SANCTIFYING,
THAT THEY NEVER THINK TO ATTEMPT SOME SPYING,
TO CHECK THEIR HUSBANDS FROM THE ART OF LYING,
THUS GIVING FULL OPPORTUNITY TO LET THEM FLYING.
THAT THEY NEVER THINK TO ATTEMPT SOME SPYING,
TO CHECK THEIR HUSBANDS FROM THE ART OF LYING,
THUS GIVING FULL OPPORTUNITY TO LET THEM FLYING.
This article describes the future possibility of having the facility of a clinic to convert the blue infidelity of a husband to the true faculty of the same man?s love unquestioned. Thus a frightened wife may get a sweetened life. In other words a worsened man may be turned to join freshened, home-loving, and honest people?s clan. The gamic game of ?-gamy?, from ?poly-? to ?mono-?, by kicking the ?ball? made up of the chemical ?Vasopressin?, is the main target of this biochemical article of the author.
SOME QUOTES, NOTES, AND EMOTES ON HUSBAND-WIFE RELATIONS
The British novelist, Arnold Bennett [ 1867-1931 ], in his novel, ?The Title?, had written : ?Being a husband is a whole-time job. That is why so many husbands fail. They can not give their entire attention to it.?
The English poet Laureate, Alfred Tennyson [ 1809-1892 ], in his poetry, ?Locksley Hall?, had said, ?As the husband is, the wife is.?
The New Testament says, ?Husbands ! love your wives, and be not bitter against them?. This advise was written in one of the volumes of New Testament ( Colossians ), authored by St. Paul the Apostle [ ? ? AD 64-67 ] in the second half of the first century.
The Irish dramatist, George Farquhar [ 1678-1707 ], in his drama ?Beaux? Stratagem?, had written, ?There?s no form of prayer in the liturgy against bad husbands?.
The Irish wit, poet, and dramatist, Oscar Wilde [ 1856-1900 ], in his play, ?An Ideal Husband?, had written : ?There is only one real tragedy in a woman?s life. The fact that her past is always her lover, and her future invariably her husband?.
The American author, John Cole McKim [ 1881-1952 ], in his publication, ?Husbands and Wives?, had written :
IF YOU WANT YOUR MAN?S MONEY,
YOU SHOULD BE WILLING TO PUT UP WITH HIS COMPANY.
But Mc Kim had failed to point out whether his advise was of any value to the wives of infidel husbands ?
The French philosopher and essayist, Michel Eyquem De Montaigne [ 1533-1592 ], in his book, ?Essays? had advised women like this : ?Serve your husband as your master, but beware of him as a traitor?.
The famous pair of French composers and dramatists, Henry Meilhac [ 1831-1897 ] and Ludovic Halevy [ 1834-1908 ], in their drama, ?La Belle Helene?, had jointly warned husbands not to reach home before time, otherwise : ?If he ( the husband ) takes a chance and returns home suddenly, he is the master, but it is imprudent and in bad taste, for he exposes himself to unhappy surprises?.
Like the above noted French dramatists, anothr outspoken French philosopher and dramatist, Voltaire ( pseudonym of Francois Marie Arouet ) [ 1694-1778 ], in his drama, ?La Femme Qui a Raison?, had said : ?The husband who desires to surprise is often very much surprised himself?.
The author of this article after observing the brain chemistry and resultant physical behaviour of many of the males ( the married ones ) feels no hitch to say :
MANY HUSBANDS ARE LESS FAITHFUL, AND MORE CHEAT-AND-FLIRTY,
THEY FALL IN LOVE AT A SIMPLE CALL BY A WOMAN LESS THAN THIRTY.
BUT SOME CARE NOT AGE BAR, AND CLASP ANY WOMAN OF CHARACTER DIRTY.
GAME OF FLIRTING
Flirting and occasionally being unfaithful is a universal game of sex played mostly by men and to some extent by women allover the world---?pious? India including. In the book, ?God Mother of Infidelity Research?, the author Shirley P. Glass says : ?One doesn?t have to have sex to be unfaithful. Secret emotional attachments outside marriage can be just as great a betrayal as extra-marital sex?. An author, Bonita Baruah, wrote in The Times of India ( April 25, 2004 ) : ?Men who exhibit unfaithfulness are STUDS while women who do this are SLUTS. It?s the age-old egg vs sperm propaganda that has always been doing the rounds : That men are inveterate philanderers because they produce millions of sperms while women stuck with relatively few eggs, tend to be choosy and coy. Men, therefore, are biologically prone to spreading their seed, while women focus on finding the perfect pop?.
Men are certainly more promiscuous because of the hormonal matter---the matter of steroidal male sex hormone---TESTOSTERONE---which makes them think about sex all the time, and they do behave this way whether they are coming from the general social group, or from high profile political clan, or film actors or directors, or from so-called ?saadhus? ( monks ) wearing orange-coloured robes and roaming on the banks of many pious rivers in different parts of India ( or any where else in the world ).
HOW A FRETFUL AND FITFUL HUSBAND MAY BE CONVERTED TO A FAITHFUL HUSBAND ?
( LEARNING FROM AN EXPERIMENT ON ANIMALS )
In 1999, scientists discovered a genetic basis for monogamy---that means for a man actually behaving like a true and perfect husband. After this master piece discovery the scientists believe that their findings could also shed light on the brain chemistry of love and attachment between a man and a woman.
By transferring a single ?faith? gene, the researchers were able to convert mischievous and polygamous males with anti-social and dishonest tendencies into the marvels of a character that is full of fidelity and sociability. Although this research was performed on mice and voles, but the scientists believe that the conclusions have important repercussions for the study of human relationships, especially those that break down either because of mental illness or because of determined infidelity in the brain.
Thomas R. Insel, Roger Nilsen, Larry J. Young, and three other associate neuroscientists ---from Department of Psychiatry and Behavioural Sciences, Atlanta, Georgia ( USA ) and Center for Molecular Medicine, Emory University in Atlanta, Georgia---transferred a gene from the sociable, monogamous MALE PRAIRIE VOLE ( Microtus ochrogaster ) into MALE MICE, which are notorious for their promiscuity and aggressiveness.
This particular gene [ V1a RECEPTOR GENE ] is responsible for making a protein in the brain that acts like the "lock" for a key neurotransmitter called VASOPRESSIN, which is known to be implicated in determining sociability and monogamy in rodents. Without this protein lock, the vasopressin key cannot open the treasure of ?honest behaviour? in the brain.
The study of the scientists---Dr. T. R. Insel, Dr. L. J. Young et al.--- that was published in the journal Nature [ Volume 400, pp 766-768, 19 August 1999 ] showed that male mice genetically engineered with the vole gene started exhibiting a dramatic change in behaviour, becoming more content with a single sexual partner and less aggressive towards other males. After seeing the results, Dr. Young had said : "The transgenic mice really surprised us... these mice responded to vasopressin just like prairie voles,"
The PRAIRIE VOLE ( like the woodland vole ) is a special natural animal model known for sexual fidelity, because this male is almost invariably faithful to the female, and sincerely shares in the raising of pups. But another cousin species from the same genus of the vole---MEADOW VOLE ( Microtus pennsylvanicus ) ---comprises promiscuously mating males who act like hooligans, and indiscremately make sex with all available females, and pay little attention, if any, to their babies. But a Prarie male vole after meeting and mating with a female falls in ?true love" with that particular female. Then onwards this male continues to stick close to his chosen female, starts guarding her jealously, neither flirts with any other female nor allows any other male to touch his beloved, and sincerely helps the female in raising their young ones. This is the extreme case of fidelity observed in animal kingdom.
Previous researches had already proved that a hormone Vasopressin encourages pair-bonding in prairie voles. Scientists had also noticed that promiscuous voles have fewer Vasopressin (V1a) RECEPTORS, in the forebrain called the VENTRAL PALLIDUM region.
In order to prove that Vasopressin has a "taming" effect on the brain, the researchers gave meadow voles extra V1a RECEPTORS in the ventral pallidum region of their brains. The results were remarkable. After the V1a RECEPTOR gene was introduced, the former playboys and philanderers reformed their characters, and suddenly, they fixated on one female, choosing to mate with this female only, even when other females tried to tempt them.
How does one hormone have such a dramatic effect ? Scientists have suggested following biochemical mechanism :
When the voles have sex, the hormone Vasopressin is released. This hormone is then "picked up" by the V1a RECEPTORS in the ventral forebrain, which in turn trigger a neural "reward system". The reward system makes them feel happy, and they associate those feelings with that particular vole they have just mated with, and it is this single mating which encourages them to stick around. Before mating, the male vole is friendly to other male and female voles alike. But within 24 hours after mating, the male vole is hooked for life to his mate. Not only this, he also becomes aggressive to other males with a classic exhibition of the ?jealous husband? syndrome.
The co-researcher, Dr. Larry Young, thinks that when the voles mate, Vasopressin immediately activates the reward centre, and it really makes the animals pay full attention to who they are mating with. At this juncture a vole thinks like this : ?when I am with this partner I feel good.? And from that moment he starts hating other females. In this way the voles develop a desire to spend their time with that particular partner only.
The researchers have concluded that the male meadow voles are promiscuous because they lack just one link in the chain: the V1a RECEPTORS in the ventral forebrain, thus Vasopressin fails to find a place to get attached, and hence exerts no effect of fidelity.
Five years later, in 2004, in yet another similar experiment, the scientists successfully changed adult male meadow voles' behavior to resemble that of prairie voles. In the new experiment a single gene was introduced into the brain via a virus. [ M. M. Lim et al., Nature, Volume 429, pp 754-757, 17 June 2004 ].
The researchers now think their researches can lead to a greater understanding of how social behavior and etiquette of a true marriage is controlled in humans. The same hormone activity could also play a role in disorders like AUTISM wherein people lack simple social skills as they want to live very aloof---they don't want to interact with others in the society.
Can strings of human behavior not be pulled by similar hormones and similar pathways ? Certainly yes ! The implications of this study can be extended beyond animal kingdom. This is because of the fact that when humans perform sex, Vasopressin is also released. Thus, Vasopressin has a strong and true role in maintaining the SEX BOND between a man and a woman, or so to say, between a wife and an husband. Wives facing infidelity of their husbands might want to give their husbands a strong dose of the V1a RECEPTOR GENE to get their ?sweethearts? ?repaired? once and for all. The author of this article thinks that this desire of the ?fed-up wives? may soon be fulfilled by the opening of Vasopressin-based genetic clinics. It is possible that a few injections of Vasopressin would help in keeping the fire burning. That is why Vasopressin is also called the MONOGAMY CHEMICAL.
BY THE WAY, WHAT IS VASOPRESSIN AT ALL ?
Vasopressin ( also known as AVP--Arginine vasopressin or ADH---Antidiuretic hormone ) is the ?love? hormone found in mammals including humans. It is secreted by the posterior part of the pituitary gland, and it is essential for the maintenance of good health. One of its most important roles is to regulate the body's retention of water, which is released only when the body is dehydrated. Hence lack of this chemical causes the body to loose too much water. It is for this reason vasopressin is used to control the frequent urination, increased thirst, and loss of water due to diabetes insipidus ( WATER DIABETES ). This hormone orders the kidneys to conserve water ( but not the salts dissolved in it ), thus causing the urine to get concentrated with reduced volume. It also raises blood pressure by causing vasoconstriction. In addition, it has a variety of neurological effects on the brain, including creating a desire to form a pair with opposite sex. Like the most powerful love hormone, OXYTOCIN, vasopressin ( which is virtual twin of oxytocin ) also has 9 AMINO ACIDS in its molecular formula :
OXYTOCIN : Its molecular formula consists of 9 molecules of ( total 8 ) amino acids---the building units of proteins. One amino acid, the Cysteine ( Cys ), is present at two positions :
Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Leu-Gly-NH2
The 9 amino acids numbered as per sequence in the oxytocin molecule are :
1. Cysteine ( Cys )
2. Tyrosine ( Tyr )
3. Isoleucine ( Ile )
4. Glutamine ( Gln )
5. Asparagine ( Asn )
6. Cysteine ( Cys ) ( repeated unit )
7. Proline ( Pro )
8. Leucine ( Leu )
9. Glycine ( Gly )
( A ) VASOPRESSIN IN MAN AND MOST OTHER MAMMALS has the molecular formula :
Cys-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Arg-Gly-NH2
The No. 3 amino acid, Isoleucine ( in oxytocin ) has been replaced by
Phenylalanine in human / mammalian vasopressin.
( B ) VASOPRESSIN IN PIGS AND HIPPOS is represented by the following molecular formula :
Cys-Tyr-Phe-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Lys-Gly-NH2
The No. 8 amino acid Arginine ( in human vasopressin ) has been replaced by
Lysine in pig?s vasopressin. That is why pig?s vasopressin is also called
Lypressin or LVP. It is LVP that is mostly used in human treatments or
experiments.
( C ) VASOPRESSIN IN NON-MAMMALS ( having no breasts ) is represented by the following molecular formula :
Cys-Tyr-Ile-Gln-Asn-Cys-Pro-Arg-Gly-NH2
The No. 3 amino acid Phenylalanine ( in human vasopressin ) has been replaced
by ISOLEUCINE ( Ile ) in the non-mammalian vasopressin..
Thanks to ?Almighty? Vasopressin that has now developed scope for creating yet another range of medical clinics---?The Perfect Husband-Making Clinics? for the benefit of women suffering from the infidelity of their wayward husbands. Hence, following the study of this probability, the author of this article, with full optimism, thinks like this :
PERFECT HUSBAND-MAKING IS A GENETIC ART
FOR CORRECTING EVERY WOMAN?S SWEETHEART
A POETRY OF MONOGAMY
The scottish divine and poet, John Logan [ 1748-1788 ], had written his poetry, ?The Lovers? about 225 years ago. At that time the name of Vasopressin was not even known to the scientists. Had it been known, the poet would have certainly decorated and crowned his poetry with the name of Vasopressin, and would have also given it the credit for truly uniting an husband to his wife. However, here is that old poetry that carries the essence of love but without naming the chemical responsible for it---Vasopressin :
PURE, AS THE CHARITIES ABOVE,
RISE THE SWEET SYMPATHIES OF LOVE ;
AND CLOSER CHORDS THAN THOSE OF LIFE
UNITE THE HUSBAND TO THE WIFE.
The author ( GSJ ) wishes to rewrite the same poetry with one added ( last ) line :
