What a great article, Abaya! Thanks for sharing.
Interesting that the system affects women differently than men. I wonder why that is, and how it is different. Do we have blockers, or perhaps different receptors?
Sounds like an area that should get more study. I think polyamory commitment wasn't mentioned simply because it's not as common, fewer people interested in the results of such studies, more difficult to obtain funding. Note that they also didn't include committed homosexual males. You cannot rightfully say the study refers to commitment in general - they specifically studied heterosexual marriages, so that is all they can report.
