Endorphines
by Robert Hedges ©

Sexual attraction is caused by :
=======dopamine
=======norepineprine
=======& phenylethylamine (PEA) working in unison.
____ PEA is the infatuation inducing stimulant.
These three endorphines create a feeling of euphoria & uncertainty, resulting in insatible desire. There is a 4 yr limit due to neurotransmitter bombardment which will over an extended time dull the responses of the afflicted lover.
A fourth endorphine creates a bond over in the long haul, which is why divorce is difficult/unlikely when chemistry between individuals really works. I do not recall it's name . . but oxytocin is a fifth hormone. More definitions of hormones at: www.maui.net/~jms/brgloss.html
Oxytocin is the cuddling hormone - It reaches a five-fold increased - elevation at the moment of male orgasm, but it is not gender-exclusive. This chemical creates bonding in individuals. Dopamine leads to increased production of oxytocin, but the number of receptors which any individual has is the basis for the depth of the emotional attachment. Any individual with fewer oxytocin receptors will have a shallower relationship. Does the number we have arise from attention, care, and cuddling in babyhood? If so, what can be abnormal about wanting to 'recreate' that feeling of acceptance and well-being in the arms of 'mommy"
The enzyme monoamine oxidase (MAO ) is the chemical of risk takers -
It is known to be 20% lower in women and higher in those with the alleged "addiction gene". (gentiles only)
the hormone which causes fear is to warn us of danger - not to make us afraid of danger
phenylalanine, choline,tyrosine and DMAE are smart chemicals
Tryptophan->Hydroxytryptophan, Vitamine B6->Serotonin-> relaxation
The anxiety hormones increase alertness, spur your action, give an extra spark. Stress hormones have a catabolic effect on the body. Anxiety & uncertainty relate to arousal.
Depression is anger turned inward. Always work off anger, and burn the sugar & adrenaline. Bike alot.
The steroid pregnenolone restores normal levels of memory hormones in mice - Neurobiologist Eugene Roberts, City of Hope Medical Center, Duarte. St Louis Veterans Admin Med Ctr Missouri. Proceedings of National Academy of Sciences
Steroids result in hyperactivity & inflated self esteem, as well as shrunken body parts.

A Baltimore study indicated that 33% of males over 50 years of age develop TgH deficiency. 3 months of twice per wk treatment will result in muscle strength increase weight by 5 %, 20% drop in cholesterol, slight increase in prostrate cancer risk.
The individual who has the serotonin level which gives assertivness, confidence, vitality, low anxiety, also gives a chemical basis for inhibited ejaculation, which is secondary impotence.
dopamine - neuromelanin - substantia nigra -dopamine site primitive melanocytes evolved into nerve cells

Anger is very similar to male orgasm- fierce competition gives testasterone rise- males= alpha=fight=dominate=alpha state=breeding anxiety & uncertainty relate to arousal-

an american woman has on average 2843 sexual encounters during reproductive years

Dr Drew Pinsky on his Loveline radio show says, "the attraction center of the brain does not learn" . . the intellectual center of the brain learns, but doesn't regulate attraction."

Sex strips away identities it take a lifetime to build. A naked aroused man is not a brain surgeon, or a University president, or a Methodist Bishop. He is an animal with an erection. John Hubner - The Bottom Feeders- discussing the appeal of erotica -quoted in Playboy Forum July 1993 p.56

Sexuality is on a continuum. At the moment of conception, all human primates are female. There are females who are masculine and there are males who are feminine. Each are located at some point on the continuum, near the center, where the gender-overlap is located. And there are truly masculine males who are the farthest from the point of conception that a human primate can get. All of the human primates are on this continuum.

Growth hormone [gH] - somatropin- small protein, thickens bones, stimulates growth of any tissue. Bone growth continues until the mid-thirties (physical growth thirties), so calcuim is always needed.

gH increases during first 2 hours of sleep, REM sleep - naps after exercise without REM sleep do not substitute. 10 min of high intensity aerobic exercise or a minimum of 10 reps with free weights will cause a gH response. [increased gH]
gH increases your RNA so more protein synthesis can take place.
gH enhanses the transport of amino acids through the cell membrane for a net gain.
gH triggers the release of fatty acids to energize your growth, rather than using up glycogen stores to get new growth.
gH increases in 5 minutes, plateau at 14 minutes - maxes in 25 minutes and returns to normal after 90 minutes. Therefore a workout exceeding 90 minutes may not add growth, and may cause catabolism if carbos and protein are not ingested during the time period when your body seeks glycogen.
gH pulses are lowest at 8-9 am. gH decreases by 11% during the decade commonly known as the physical 40s, followed by a 20% decrease during the 50s and progressively more. The result is loss of muscle & bone, thin skin, increased body fat. Exercise which increases gH will reverse this atrophy of aging.
gH is closely related to testasterone [TgH]. Saliva tests done at the Georgia State Univ. to determine TgH levels indicated that grouping of frats who had lower grades, more activities, more routy parties, also had higher levels of TgH.. . . .TgH, and other builders will peak at 75-90 minutes. . . . . for increased muscle mass cram workout into this time . . . cinnamon boosts the insulin activity in several experiment by 1200%. USDA Nutrution Center. Beltsville, MD. Use it as a seasoning.

There is a positive correlation between unreleased sexual anxiety or energy and poor concentration in class.
The male prostrate gland is similar to a muscle and responsible for ejaculation contractions, which are inexorably linked to male orgasm. It is believed that the prostrate is healthier if it is exercised on a steady schedule. This means that a constant and steady pattern of orgasm is optimum rather than a "feast or famine" schedule. The prostrate grows larger with age, presumably as a result of exposure to hormones and to use. Long periods of abstinence from orgasm followed by a period of frequent orgasms, sets the stage for damage or injury which causes difficulty with orgasm in later years. On the other side of the coin, a study indicated that the individuals who used up less of some valuable enzymes in the creation of sperm cells may live to older ages. However, the unused sperm are wasted because they deteriorate several days after their creation, and are disposed of naturally. You figure. (lifted from recent editions of The Playboy Advisor)

From 52 Harv L R 40 at 73, Albert - Judicial Censorship - Women answering a questionnaire about what was most stimulating sexually, with 409 responses.

18 - pictures

Prozak, Zoloft, Wellbutrin, Tofranil, Norpramin, Paxil and it's act-alike drugs may be very dangerous. These drugs allow a person to externalize anger, and project blame. Serotonin uptake-inhibitors have been linked to many cases of violence nationwide. Persons who once were depressed, and likely to kill themselves, become aggresive, and kill others. Think Columbine, Saturday Night Live, Standard Gravieur, Louisville rest home, . . . . Symptons have been - grand mal seizure, blackouts, facial twitch, zombie-like trance, instant alzheimers, dream-like waking action. Do not presume that masking a symptom will cure an illness. Do recall that my dad experienced severe personality shift before he changed his mind about his life-long farm, decided that his whole entire life was a series of mistakes, and suddenly died. Do recall who had the psychotropic drugs, and who had his person.

Higher serotonin makes confidence, assertivness, vivacity, results in a higher degree of mental activity, security, more outgoing, carefree, more vitally alive, less pessimistic, reduced anxiety, loosens the grip of obsessive compulsive behavior, combats attention deficit disorder, reduces pain of arthritis, cronic fatigue, dims pain center, gives happy face, makes more energetic, serotonin has numerous ties to the pituitary which produces the key sex hormones - serotonin inhibits ejaculation in animals.
