Every emotion you feel is because of a chemical trigger or a chemical reaction. The catalyst of cause and effect in our minds.
This is more or less correct.
And it works just like a "stimmed out" effect. Too much caffeine for too long and it doesn't do a damn thing but make you sleepy.
This is not.
Sexual intercourse, at least the first few times, intensifies what feelings you have for a person, and creates chemical reaction induced bonds.
Yes, vis-a-vis Dopamine, Norepinepherine, Oxycotin, etc.
But if missy jane has been with the entire football team, and billy joe has been with eh entire cheerleader team, sex with each other is just...sex, something for fun they do all the time, and its not special because its not restricted.
No, wrong here again.
Instead of begin a special climax of a romantic night of emotional and spiritual intimacy, it is something that you have done plenty of times before so it is not unique or special. It is simply a routine.
No.
I wish we had a psychology major on here, because I dont want to dig up all the info on this. Its a psychological fact.
Well, given the fact you are speaking about the release of neurohormones and neurotransmitters, it would be a "physiological" fact, rather than "psychological" fact. This being said, I was never disputing the notion that hormonal fluctuations [may] play a role in the learned behavior of sex and intimacy, including long-term pair-bonding.
As in other adaptively-learned behaviors, these hormones seem to be involved in the restructuring of neuronal connectivity in response to a particular stimuli - in this case, the rewiring of areas involved in memory, motivation, emotion, pleasure and so forth in response to sex. (This rewiring in response to sex looks similar to the restructuring induced by addiction, by the way.) As a result, one "learns" that 'Action X'
sex and intimate behavior) produces 'Favorable Response p'
orgasm, feelings of fulfillment and intimacy, etc.) vis-a-vis the release of Dopamine, Oxycotin, etc., and is driven to seek this feeling again. (While much more intense, and much more emotive, the general process is the same type of self-satisfaction that occurs when learning a new skill, process, fact, etc.) This type of "learning" - involving the release of "feel-good" hormones, along with the physical pleasure of sex - is probably an evolutionary mechanism: incentivizing the passing of genetic material to multiple partners through fulfilling "emotions", ensuring the survival of the species.
Now, there is no evidence to suggest that this release of dopamine and/or norepinephrine and/or oxycotin diminishes with multiple, casual partners. To be truthful, much of the evidence I have seen claims that the more partners, and the more sex, the more powerful the release of these "feel-good" hormones over time; and again, this is probably an evolutionary mechanism. While the evidence points to this, it is a fairly intuitive notion as well: the body's "learning" of sex involves high levels of reward, and this reward-response ensures you will do it again to pass on your genes. In fact, you seem to have this whole issue backwards. These hormones actually
precipitously decrease the more times you have sex with one individual, in inverse proportion to the release of alternate, complimentary hormones. This is again an evolutionary mechanism: the body's response to finding a suitable, reproductive mate is to decrease the motivation to sleep with other partners, and increase hormones that increase connection, feelings of security and monogamy.
The fact is, you are not feeling "god" in your crotch when you look at these girls you can't seem to obtain. What you are feeling is the brain deliberately rewiring itself to prepare for what it 'thinks' will be the inevitable reward of these feelings: sex! It's not "god", it's heroin. Euphoria, anxiousness, happiness and the subsequent depression you feel are, again, not some type of mystical bond being broken and/or a spiritual release, they are simply diagnostic of the body's response to massive fluctuations in your very own brand of narcotics.
This all gets quite messy in that we have overlain biological and evolutionary responses with these ridiculous social and religious constructs.
Relationships from the decades of the 50's and before were far superior and sound thant todays relationships. That cant be argued.
Oh yes, the glorious and nostalgic relationship s of the "50's and before". Where women knew to shut-up and take it when beaten by their husbands - you know, their role. Where women were taught their exclusive role in the household was to ensure a cheery attitude toward their husband and to go to a happy place while your husband is on top! Where young girls were taught that while they must service their mates, sexual thoughts were forbidden. Or how about the notion that "at fault" divorce statutes necessitated lengthy and ridiculous trials in order to grant divorces, essentially locking people into unhappy marriages. Ah, those were the days.
Men were also screwed in these days, too: even if their wife was acting like a massive whore, they were legally-bound to her vis-a-vis so-called, "dependency laws". Men in states like New York, for example, had to fabricate evidence of
themselves being unfaithful, and subsequently be labeled "criminal fornicators" in order to obtain a divorce. In other states still, it was completely outlawed until the mid-50's. Yes, cultural factors play a role in the high rates of divorce, but so does the amelioration of legal restrictions against it.
or just blatantly say *joking*
Especially when I am take something like DTHC or IGF-2+Drive....its just wrong, on so many levels. If I do a test cycle....
