sex and aggression

VIP a.k.a vasoactive intestinal peptide

How ironic in these rational times
to be labeled intestinal
when one has a part to play
that's so much more subliminal
what loftier, elevated goal
than to keep the brain more temperate
and what more worthier goal
than to help true lovers consummate.

-excerpt from a poem by Dr. John A Bevan who ponders the multiple roles of VIP within the gut and brain.
