Neurotransmitters and Hormones

This is a thread that I hope will bring interesting articles and discussion about sex neurotransmitters and hormones. For instance I’ve been reading a lot about dopamine and I found a basic article on the prolactin/dopamine relationship. It’s geared to both men and women.

I hope some will find it useful.

And so, just how ought men regulate their sexual activity accordingly? What practical recommendations might be based on this finding? Should a guy not seek orgasm except by way of exception? If so, how exit sexual activity without the jitters? Is the answer found in Asian advice, as in the Kama Sutra, to prolong activity without orgasm?

The thing that struck me in this article was the possible length of the prolactin hangover, two weeks, maybe more. Having multiple orgasms per week really must spike a guys prolactin level. I haven’t gone an extended period of time without having an orgasm. I can only speculate on how much better I’d probably feel if I abstained for a while.

By the 4th day of abstaining from orgasm I feel like a completely different person.

I totally agree.

I get overwhelmingly horny if I abstain for a few days. I’ll start to get uncontrollable instant erections even at the worst of times. The only way I can overcome this is to workout everyday to the extreme point of exhaustion and almost fainting.

There are supplements etc. that will block prolactin. Selegiline, (Deprenyl), being one of them that I have been on for quite a while at a very low dose. The prolactin suppression is very evident, I have almost no “downtime” after orgasm to speak of..

Probably Less the 1% of men can keep a erection after blowing a load.

As fun as it may sound blowing two or three loads.
I discovered I could do this when I was 13…

“Michael Exton, Ph.D., a biological psychologist at the University of Essen’s Institute of Medical Psychology, asked 10 women to masturbate until achieving orgasm, then examined them afterward.”

What an idiot. Examine them during!

I’m sure he did.

May I ask at what dosage you are taking, and also, your age?

I can, but there is a trick to it…

I turned 49 two weeks ago, and I take half of a 5mg dose per day - I’m considering going to a full 5 mg dose sometime this year..

Were you the control subject in this study?

Here’s an interesting paper explaining the 4 neurotransmitters and how they effect the personality. It also explains ways of boosting the individual neurotransmitters.
