Very good information, I was unaware of what chemicals actually had fun when we did too.

As for all of our opinionated sexual psychology goes.
there are a billion reasons why we do what we do,
or are there infinite?

It's fun,
I think it's fun.
I know it's fun.
And not just rocking and rolling,
but everything that occurs while trying to rock
and after you roll.

Afterward when all those chemicals sink in,
it's such an amazing high.
It's a shame so many guys go to sleep right afterward,
I would dance if I had the space,

Re: Making Love

Neuro-chems is where making lust (seratonin, dopamine, and oxytocin) and making love are sort of different. For many when the chemical production rate of lust goes down so does the basis for the relationship or marriage. Love may be due to an entirely different set of neutro-chems. These chems may be the same for all types of love, from mother-child, friends, mates, etc. Maybe making love and making lust need to be better differentiated so people know what they are getting into.

But since these terms mean something different to each of us...


Also, there is some overlap in the neurotransmitters, but the interpretation tends to be more contingent on our background.


Cheers.

Re: Making Love

I am happy with either set but the high rate of divorce may be due to a misinterpretation between love and lust neuro-chems. If one realizes the latter only lasts at its peak for a couple of years, just long enough to allow the former to begin processing, one may realize there is love after lust. The love neuro-chems may quite well provide a secondary boost to the former. There are many couples who work through the stormy transition only to find both sets of neuro-chems growing stronger over time. Maybe many quit too early because they assume this is only one type.

Re: Making Love

You are confusing me on just what you think a neurotransmitter is. It sounds a bit like you're saying, "Too many people don't realize that lust sodium only lasts for a few days, and they need to realize that love sodium lasts longer." It's just a chemical...

There's not "love seratonin" and "lust seratonin,"... just, seratonin. (dopamine, oxytocin, etc.)

Re: Making Love

Different behaviors/emotions use different chems or the same chems in different proportions. If we use flight/flight for an analogy, this behavior is very high in adreniline. At lower levels of adrenline the behavior may only manifest itself with extreme excitement that doesn't require fight or flight.

Lust is far more animal dynamic than love. The ratio and concentrations of x,y, and z will need to shift to get these two different responses. Love/lust together, may be an average of the two or could be schewed in either direction, but will be different that pure lust or pure love.

Re: Making Love

How would either of them ever be anything other than pure?

Well, I'm pretty sure I'm a girl... What would you like to know from the female point of view?

Hypography?

Hypography [n.]: A combination of "hyperlink" and "bibliography" - ie, a list of links to electronic documents. Comparable to discography and bibliography, but not cartography.

We have been online since May 2000, and aim to be the best place to find and share science-related content of all kinds.
