Cultivate the most interesting and practical psychology every day
In the legend of Western society, after God created all things, in order to help different species reproduce, he deliberately created a mechanism called "sexual refractory period".
What does it mean? In fact, it is very easy to understand, that is, when the sex between the two sexes has been sexual, in the next period of time, even if the two parties are still at a very close distance, but there will be no more relationships. This time period varies from species to species, some for days, some for hours.
But if there is another opposite sex at this time, then no matter how tired the species is, there is a good chance that sex will happen again.
In animals, this phenomenon is known as the "coolidge effect," and many biologists believe that this phenomenon is of great benefit to biological continuity.
Of course, these effects and phenomena are often unknown to the species themselves. Today, with the development of society, people's understanding of themselves and other species is getting deeper and deeper, and human beings are beginning to spend more and more energy on understanding and mastering other people.
The understanding of people and human nature often varies depending on the size of the place. For example, there are many "first-tier cities" where the population is concentrated today.
This is because in an environment where people and things are more complex and difficult to master, people have to learn to adapt to these different rules.
People's physical characteristics will also reflect different characteristics according to the living environment in which they live.
For example, people living near the equator, because the climate is relatively hot, often have the characteristics of sallow face, thick eyebrows, and thin figure, while people living in high latitudes have a higher nose bridge, a wide forehead, and a tall body.
In life, individuals will also have different desires because of the different environments around them.
Dopamine is a substance produced by the human brain, a substance that the brain uses to motivate the body.
When people often need factors as motivation to help individuals take action before making certain decisions, dopamine is such a presence. In general, it will not be excited.
Once dopamine is stimulated, the individual will be stimulated accordingly, for example, when people smell the aroma of food, the body will appear a feeling called "hunger", and secrete saliva, resulting in the desire to "eat". After close contact between the sexes, a sexual impulse will appear with each other, and then there will be a desire for intercourse.
It is in this process that the species is continued.
The degree of dopamine secretion is also directly proportional to how dependent people are on this behavior, in short, the more obvious the stimulation, the more people will become addicted to it.
This is our analysis and understanding in a rational state, but in many cases people do not feel about it. For example, when having sex, people often only experience the pleasure of intimate contact, and do not think carefully about why.
The scientists collected images from the brains of humans at orgasm and compared them with those of heroin-using individuals and found high similarities.
So we can know that many things that can make people "addicted" or "hallucinogenic" can bring the kind of pleasure and the process are similar. For example, some people have "tobacco addiction" and "alcohol addiction".
Of course, the pleasure that can be experienced by repeating similar things will decrease, and only after a period of "cooldown" will this pleasure be "reset" again. The so-called "Coolidge effect" is a manifestation of this phenomenon in terms of sexual relations.
So what happens to mammals that makes them have a strong sexual desire again after just ending a sexual relationship? For example, as mentioned before, this can be achieved by adding some novel elements or changing partners.
The dopamine content in the human body is also a certain "total", which is consumed too quickly in a short period of time, and the individual will feel very tired and can only recover through a period of rest.
By understanding the link between dopamine and the attainment of pleasure, we can consciously manage and adjust our bodies and emotions in these areas.
