Why Does Sex Feel Fun? This Is An Expert Explanation

JAKARTA - Everyone has good and true sex, a mixture of emotional and physical effects will occur. Not only sex orgasms that feel physically extraordinary, it will also feel fun and improve a person's welfare.

The feeling of pleasure that arises with sex occurs because of chemicals released in the brain during sex. This increases the overall mood, so that the body feels happy and fights depression.

"Endorfin is a neurotransmitter associated with feelings of happiness that can increase overall mood and fight depression," said clinical sexologist Sunny Rodgers, quoted by HuffPost, on Tuesday, September 2, 2025.

When having sex with your partner, the hormone oxytocin will also be released. This is a bond hormone that will make you more connected to your partner and increase happiness for each party.

"In a relationship commitment, sex releases oxytocin, the bond hormone, where you will feel more connected to your partner," he added.

Not only that, sex that releases oxytocin is also very good for overall physical health. Starting from easing pain naturally, to reducing headaches.

The process of releasing various hormones during sex also increases the body's sensitivity, and causes an intense wave of sensations that culminates in orgasm, which is a very satisfying experience.

"Orgasm also produces oxytocin which functions as a natural pain reliever and can help reduce headaches and muscle aches," he concluded.
