Only time I’ve seen an ethical love potion plot was a cute little comic featuring a couple looking to spice things up due to mutual boredom. They split a love potion, but neither changed their behavior. Both remained bored together, but with slight, visible smiles.

Honestly, one of the most scientifically plausible "love potions" we might actually be able to make someday would something that long term couples might actually be really interested in. You know that initial early head-over-heels "chemical love" that happens right at the start of a relationship? In principle that could be duplicated artificially. That would be something.

So just an absolute rage of hormones and oxytocin? Sounds miserable to me, but I’m ace-aro so what do I know?

You can get an oxytocin nasal spray, right now, to enhance your bonding if you so choose.
