Sex And The Brain

What is that feeling after being with a lover and having a luscious time with them?   It almost feels like being “in love”. I feel like I’m floating and happy and easy breezy.  It feels great. If I don’t see my lover again for awhile, does that feeling have to leave – how can I prolong it? I love it!

This feeling that you are describing is actually brought on by an amazing cocktail of  “feel good” chemical messengers or neurotransmitters in our brain (dopamine, serotonin, oxytocin) all of which transmit  thought from one cell to the next enabling our brain cells to talk with one another as we experience this euphoria in our physical bodies. This chemical cocktail also triggers our sense of emotional well-being and deepens our feelings of attachment. You are most certainly able to sustain this wonderful feeling that you are describing by frequently tapping into your memory of the time spent with your lover and re-experiencing it as a cellular memory in your body. Everything that we create in our physical bodies comes from our minds.
