What’s the most important sex organ?

The BRAIN!

Through its command of all our bodily functions, the brain controls how we perform sexually and what kind of pleasure we get from the act. The brain also influences how we bond with our sexual partners. Bonding is key to long-term happiness.

BONDING IS IMPORTANT – it creates lasting relationships that lead to happy marriages and stable families.

Sexual contact releases powerful chemicals in the brain called neurotransmitters. These chemicals trigger immediate sensations, but they do far more.

“When two people touch each other in a warm, meaningful and intimate way, oxytocin is released into the woman’s brain. The oxytocin then does two things: increases a woman’s desire for more touch and causes bonding of the woman to the man she has been spending time in physical contact with.” ¹

The bonding agent’s most active in the male brain is called vasopressin.

“Vasopressin seems to have two primary functions related to relationships—bonding of the man to his mate and attachment to his offspring. . . . vasopressin seems to be the primary cause of men attaching to women with whom they have close and intimate physical contact.”

With casual sex and multiple partners, there are . . .
