Not sure if I buy the Dopamine connection. its not like just food and sex are being rewarded by it. Also Videogames Sports Drugs Success increase Dopamine levels above your average level. Basically everything thats fun, Dopamine is fun itself. So why isn't sex associated with Mario Bros but with Chocolate.
To the second pic well no ? What do you mean ? Why doesn't food gets cc'd with wrists. Also I don't see the connection food has with sex on here to be honest. I do realize that food and sex are the most basic urges but for me personally its two seperate things. So while I understand it rationally that it seemingly overlaps I don't understand it emotionally. |
I'm not sure what you're asking. Why one and not the other?
They're all linked. I don't know where you're getting this idea that they're not.
Also, the highest NATURAL high, is sex. The next highest is Food. The next highest is excercise. And nicotine and caffeine is just right above sex. Gambling and video games are in there too somewhere.
sex, food, cigarette, coffee.
Sure you don't understand how sex and food go together. But surely you can understand coffee and cigarettes or sex and smokes or coffee and food. You don't need to understand it on an emotional level. Just understand it on a factual level.
@second pic. Umm, I don't know where you drew the correlation to food and wrist. If it goes, sex>elbow and food>sex, that doesn't mean food>elbow, if that's what you're saying. I'm just talking about cross contamination. Look, when molecules are released, they're not released like a bow and arrow. Your body isn't like I'm hungry - and- roger that, begin salivating.
The electrical signals are transmitted more like a man releasing chum into the ocean. He's looking to net something specific, but all kinds of other things are showing up too. That's because molecules are released by neurons, NA sodium molecules etc, which are absorbed by neary neurons, and the chemical imbalance causes them to "fire", which causes other releases and electrical stimuli. So when your crotch neurons are firing, and dropping that chum in the water, naturally nearby neurons unrelated to the crotch, will also fire.
This is how the brain works, amidst a sea of chaos. Similarly, the same works for dopamine. We like to feel good, and so compound our dopamine releases. It's just logical that some people when thinking about sex, might think about food, the same way when I think about food, I think about smoking.
