Concept ? The Power of Sex Brain

Do people think there is such a thing as “sex brain” that is do strong that it completely takes over all rational thinking ? This question relates to a psych class I taking

it completely takes over all rational thinking
.Beyond the 'in the moment' of passion and lust, it seems more like obsession or obsessive thinking. Too much idle time can contribute to that.

Yeah kinda. I read that it was more like the rational part of your brain shuts down, the more aroused you are. One of the reasons I never let myself get horny.

I believe in sex obsession and sex addiction . The more sex the person gets , the more they want and need . They can never get enough .

I think it’s evidenced by nature. The procreation elements of our species, tied to survival of the species, is one of if not the strongest motivators after food and shelter. Its exhibited in other animals, and as much as our developed minds think we can tame and control those urges, the more primitive parts of our being can take control.

You're obviously not a guy.
It was once said the pleasure of sex is 40% physical...60% mental. The pleasure center of the brain releases dopamine when one has sex. Sex is pleasurable because of dopamine. And like all drugs in the brain dopamine is addictive. If a person has addictive tendencies they are more easily addicted to the drug that makes them "feel good". So yes.............sex can become an addiction and as it does it can occupy more and more of a person's life. The constant pursuit of a new better "high".......offered by the release of more and more dopamine as one has more and more sex is cycle that is hard to break. Sexual addiction....dopamine addiction.... is a real thing and can very much take over a person's life.

It exists, but you can’t let it win.

Your plan for “No” has to be just as good as your plan for “Yes”. You have to keep passion and “yes” in sync…

Well, sex is mostly mental. So something like that
hormones affect certain parts of the brain

the brain affects the secretion of sex glands

when all of this is put together in a magnifying glass what you are asking about happens

psychophysiology of this mechanism is much more complex but it looks something like this

Yes. Sex is also a drug, addictive and habit forming. Like how there is use and abuse of drugs, there is for sex. And those who are addicted, would portray the same behaviour as drug addicts. No self esteem, untrustworthy, perpetual lying, no ethics etc.

I would think this is a "thing" when someone has the urge for sex, or an orgasm.
This "urge" is possibly stronger or more frequent in some people.
Teslin · M
Hmmm. I feel some people are much more obsessed than others. But I don't think someone can be 100% obsessed?
Just my opinion.
kwood1 · 61-69, M
Yes there must be or I wouldn't need to get out naked when I can
bert199 · 51-55, M
Oh, this is true 100%. And even worse, I’m like that often
