How does sex make us happy?

Sex makes us happy, changes our face and improves our respiratory and muscular capacity. How do they do it? In attractivas.es they explain to us the mechanisms that they achieve above all through the release of what are known as happiness hormones, endorphins.

Likewise, they explain from Attraivas.es , practicing sports outdoors and "especially in the morning" releases endorphins, which helps to overcome stress.

The same happens when we have sex, because during intercourse a large amount of hormones are released. The woman releases oxytocin (known as the "love molecule" and serotonins that influence the mood to later release endorphins that, according to this website specialist in body care and a healthier lifestyle, " creates a feeling of pleasure and a state of euphoria, which reach the maximum level in orgasm ".

However you have to be careful, physical exercise can become addictive. As Professor Robin Kanarek of Tufts University explains, "Exercise, like drug abuse, causes neurotransmitters such as endorphins or dopamine to be excessively released, linked to the sensation of reward."
