More Dopamine, Please!
- For humans, rats, and all animals , the desire and motivation to pursue sex arise largely from a neurochemical called dopamine.
- Dopamine amps up the centerpiece of the primitive part of the brain—the reward system. It’s where we experience cravings and pleasure, and where we get addicted.
- At the top of our human reward list are food, sex, love, friendship, and novelty. These are called ‘natural reinforcers,’ as contrasted with addictive chemicals.
- Sexual stimulation offers the biggest natural blast of dopamine available to your reward circuitry.
- Dopamine’s nickname is molecule of addiction.

More Pleasure Seeking Leads To Less Pleasure
- Excess consumption (food or sex) is the signal to your primitive brain that you have hit the evolutionary jackpot. With continued daily over-consumption, high levels of dopamine trigger the production of the protein DeltaFosB.
- DeltaFosB acts on the reward circuit, stronger nerve connections are behind all learning. This process is called neuroplasticity. The more intense the experience, the stronger the connections. The stronger the connections, the easier it is for electrical impulses to travel along this new pathway.
