Neural Action during Intimacy

Neural firing in our phenomenal bodies depends on intensity of stimulation. To increase neural plasticity, exercise, mental learning or cognitive challenge, and social interaction work wonders in our brains, even as preventative medicine for dementia.


Sex is one of the only activities that activate both the parasympathetic (psych relaxation to conserve energy) and sympathetic (psych arousal to stimulate energy) nervous systems. 


Usually when one system increases, the other decreases. 

Sex is rare exception. How cool is that?


With all the incoming sensory info sending impulses to the brain (the largest sex organ!), the skeptical mind shuts down while releasing dopamine (like heroin). It can also be a highly prized spiritual state to quiet the ego so the soul can shine.


During peak experiences, fear is nearly nonexistent in males. Female brains are mysteriously silent, drifting into egoless transcendence.

Love your body! It is remarkable!
