        Is purpose to boost sales or explain content? & is that content A guide to making people [seemingly] love you/ have sex under the influence of drugs? Or maybe What are the ethics of selling brain-altering substances under rubric of 'enhancement'? Hope there's a feminist analysis

        Sales vs content need not be zero sum I should think. It’s about the effects of pharmaceuticals, current and future, on relationships, and MDMA assisted couples therapy. I rely on feminist analysis throughout

        Fabulous, & hopefully also a good scientific evidence base based on RCTs (NOT before & after or testimonials - both always +ve biases). My understanding is all psychoactive drugs are addictive, so I'd 'follow the money' as the "pill for every ill" concept is very popular

        Yes based on RCTs; MDMA addiction potential is very low

        Partly I argue that drugs already used for other things - like depression, even birth control - have unintended side effects for relationships that are not properly studied bc western medicine focuses on individual symptoms not relational contexthttps://www.researchgate.net/publication/294428485_Love_drugs_why_scientists_should_study_the_effects_of_pharmaceuticals_on_human_romantic_relationships …

        Very interesting article - thanks. Made me wonder about maternal love & the oxytocin high post birth where there may be many potential risks/ benefits... I note you discourage the use of the term 'love drugs' in appendix, so maybe it is a sales issue?

        Replying to @susan_bewley

        I’ve flagged the maternal love issue for further research - I agree it’s very intersting and worth looking into. I’m ambivalent about whether love drug is an appropriate term; I use it in my own writing as shorthand & have a chapter explaining why & in what sense

        Is it an academic text or for the general public? I prefer the first one.

        I’m sceptical of the feasibility of writing a book that is simultaneously an academic text and for the general public, Brian, but quite happy to be proved wrong!

        Have you read the Selfish Gene or Blind Watchmaker by Dawkins? Or How the Mind Works by Pinker? Those seem like academically useful books written for the general public without dumbing down

        I would consider these books as written with the lay person on mind. Have you got an agent, or thought about seeking one? They could guide you on how to tread this fine line.

        I do have an agent and the book is already written. So, fingers crossed

        In that case, I defer to your agent. Good luck with it.
