>>51877There are a bundle of biochemicals that get released or effected during sex that you literally get addicted to, Oxytocin being the chief bonding chemical which is also responsible for the bond between mother and child during breast feeding. Phenylethylamine and of course Serotonin also play a part in addition to the chemical releases that you get from vigorous exercise. Combine all that with a psychological infatuation you get pair bonding or love.
