The third episode in this series explores the link between teenagers and sex. What exactly are teenagers experiencing (because I'm 22, and love and sex are not the same in early adulthood as they are when you're 15), what is going on in their bodies, and what is going on in their brains.
For example, I learned something fun and new about oxytocin (my favourite neurochemical, the chemical that your brain releases that makes you feel attached to another person). When teenagers (although I am assuming this applies after adolescence) are sexual with each other, floods of oxytocin are released, making you feel close to that person. For males, this rush is transitory and quickly dissipates. For women, this rush lasts a longer time, and knowing what I know about neurochemicals, this means that it's affect on the brain is larger, and lasts longer as well. This means that although both men and women feel close during sex, that feeling melts away much quicker with guys than it does for girls.
Of course this has interesting applications when it comes to monogamy, the differences in sex drives, and evolutionary biology. I'll let you mull around how those all might fit together with this one.
Still, very good watch. Nice simple plain language. Not too long. Sexpert like.
