Here's a question that was answered very well, I thought. It doesn't require a human response but it was quick and accurate.
What brain chemicals are released during sex?

During sexual activity, the brain releases a variety of chemicals that can contribute to pleasure and relaxation. These chemicals include:

Dopamine: This neurotransmitter is associated with pleasure and reward, and it is released in the brain during sexual activity.

Oxytocin: Also known as the "cuddle hormone," oxytocin is released in both men and women during sex and is thought to play a role in bonding and attachment.

Serotonin: This neurotransmitter is involved in mood regulation and is thought to contribute to feelings of happiness and well-being.

Endorphins: These chemicals are released in the brain during sexual activity and are associated with feelings of pleasure and pain relief.

Prolactin: This hormone is released in both men and women after orgasm and is thought to contribute to feelings of relaxation and satiety.

It's important to note that the exact chemical changes that occur in the brain during sexual activity can vary depending on a variety of factors, including the individual's sexual experience, their emotional state, and their general health.

Cocaine. They always want cocaine for sex.
Some will settle for money.

On the lower end, they'll take a three piece chicken basket with rolls.
