Re: weird thought on sexual drive

Got to love that surge of Dopamine....The "I've got to have it" neurochemical.

Quote:
Orgasm is the biggest blast of dopamine (legally) available to us.
Orgasms and addictions have two things in common. They both produce an initial pleasurable experience, and both are followed by an unpleasant hangover. “What goes up must come down.” It’s simple biology; body systems must return to balance, or homeostasis. What goes up and down in this case is your dopamine. That can play havoc with your mood and the way in which you perceive your partner. Considering the behaviors associated with high and low dopamine may help explain how one’s lover can do the “Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde” thing.

There are things that we don't want to happen but have to accept, things we don't want to know but have to learn, and people we can't live without but have to let go.
