YOGYAKARTA Sexual activity and orgasm increase the level of oxytocin for women and men. Oxytocin plays a role in increasing trust, reducing stress, also related to feelings of love, sexual desire, and bond among romantic couples. In addition, oxytocin also makes you closer to your partner and helps maintain loyalty.

In sexual activity, it turns out that it has four things to do with building the closeness of each partner. What is this, here is the list.

Disclosure of oneself or self-disclosure is mostly carried out by lovers after having sex. It is important to know that more and more self-exclosure after sex is associated with increasing closeness and satisfaction with relationships, according to research reported by Psychology Today, Monday, May 15.

Interestingly, women who reach orgasm during sex do more pillow talk. These women also tend to say more positive things about their relationship in post-sex disclosures to their lovers. Secret sharing has proven to increase intimacy in a circle, can increase sexual desire.

Departing from the assumption that a married couple has sex, it is important to understand the effects of sexual intercourse. Some couples feel sexually satisfied after sexual intercourse ends. This is called sexual feelings that can last up to two full days. In addition, the longer their sexual feelings last, the more satisfaction a couple reports over time.

The better the sexual activity, the greater the impact on sexual desire. Experts associate this with thalamus, hippocampus, and anterior cingulate cortex activities that are active when a person feels love and sexual desire. This study also shows that love grows from a pleasant feeling of sexual desire and satisfaction.

Still due to oxytocin produced after good and satisfying sexual activity. Oxytocin helps you feel closer to your partner and makes you closer as well physically and emotionally.
