How Good Sex (vs. Bad Sex) Shapes your Brain

Dr. Rena Malik, urologist and pelvic surgeon, explores the real neuroscience behind sexual pleasure—discussing the roles of oxytocin, dopamine, and serotonin. This episode separates myth from fact on how these brain chemicals shape sexual desire, orgasm, bonding, and attraction. Featuring insights from renowned neuroscientists Dr. Jim Pfaus and Dr. Nicole Prause, the discussion covers how early sexual experiences imprint on the brain, why dopamine actually decreases during orgasm, the crucial effects of cuddling after sex on relationships, and how pornography and masturbation impact brain function.
