Feel Good Science of Sex

Did you know that most of the brain shuts down during orgasm? That's got to be at least one of the reasons that it's such an intense experience - it takes you 'out of your head'. Then there's the release of oxytocin and vasopressin accompanying orgasm that increase the attachment and closeness to your partner. And, as if that's not enough, seminal fluid contains not only estrogen and testosterone but also dopamine, serotonin, and norepinephrine - a mix of feel-good chemicals.

Studies indicate that the more often a person has sex, the happier they are. Now maybe happier people are just inclined to have more sex rather than the other way around. But what if all the feel-good chemical and hormonal reactions that go on in your body when you have sex really do make you happier? It may be another reason to make sex a higher priority. And you might make your partner happier as well.
