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.
