Deleted Member Posted May 23 So I have had relations with a woman for…. Ten years…. So I don’t really remember what it’s like after congress with a living being but when I’m pleasing myself and I’m depressed I get that dopamine rush and it lasts for like 3-4 minutes and then I’m back to the depression which is ok cus I can go at myself like 3 times in a row and feel good for a while. My question to you guys is. Is it the same with depression intercourse? Do you get that dopamine huge for a few minutes and then crash again or am I just odd?
Fo**** Posted May 23 The dopamine rush is different with sex cos it’s not only dopamine but serotonin and other chemicals including endorphins are being released which last longer, makes you feel like a king and boosts your mood
jo**** Posted May 23 You need to do more in your life to release dopamine AND serotonin! Work out and eat clean, be honest with yourself and even be harsh on your own downfalls! It’s okay not to be happy but it’s only up to ourselves to make the necessary changes! Like some yin and yang, you cannot be happy if you’ve never experienced sadness, give yourself challenges that are difficult and once achieved (even if it takes multiple tries) you feel like you can take on anything. Depression was my best friend and I was comfortable with it, a friend pulled me out and showed me how awesome doing things that are difficult are. It’s okay to hate it, but you’ll see how awesome it is when you hit your goals
