If MDMA exerts is prosocial effects through agonism of the 5HT1a recepter, which releases oxytocin, shouldn't Buspar, which is also a 5ht1a agonist, also release oxytocin and be prosocial in its effects?

Buspar has greater affinity for presynaptic serotoin receptors. This means that it will diminish the overall release of serotonin. It also has a metabolite which is a d2 antagonist and alpha-2 antagonist.
The alpha-2 part might cause irritability like remeron. The d2 antagonist part might work against a prosocial effect - who knows.
