What exactly makes sex so pleasurable?
Why is sex pleasurable to us? What's the science behind it all? I just want more of an in-depth explanation apart from reading small scientific articles online about the psychology of sex. Last edited by BubonicPlague; Aug 29, 2014 at 03:41 PM.. Reason: Added note |

Nerve endings mostly.
Also emotional intimacy. You can't get any closer to someone than actually being inside them. |

It depends what you mean by "sex". I can achieve orgasms on my own (often even better than when I'm sexually with someone), and it's a physical and mental satisfaction. But it is not an emotional one, and that (in my opinion) is what sex does for us - the technicality of it, the mechanics of sex so to speak, we can acheive on our own or with certain tools. But still, few people who only have sex with themselves all their lives are happy about it - even if their orgasms etc. might be better than other people's.
It shows to me that sex is mostly about emotional satisfaction, about intimacy, the closest you can get to another person. |

From an evolutionary sense, I guess an incentive to reproduce.
But it's simple neurology. |

This is an old thread. You probably should not post your reply to it, as the original poster is unlikely to see it.|
