5 Sex Tricks To Trigger an Endless Dopamine Rush

How to create open loops of pleasure during sex

Who doesn’t love a good dopamine rush?

The feel-good chemical is responsible for everything from your motivation to your sense of pleasure, and it’s no surprise that sex is one of the best ways to get a dopamine hit.

If you’re looking to take things to the next level, try these five sex tricks that are almost guaranteed to trigger an endless dopamine rush.

What the Heck Is Dopamine?

If we’re going to do this properly, then we need more than a cursory definition of dopamine.

We need to know exactly what dopamine is and how it works so that we can exploit the natural process of dopamine production to reach sexual nirvana.

Dopamine is a neurotransmitter that helps control the brain’s reward and pleasure centers. A release of dopamine creates feelings of happiness and satisfaction.

Additionally, dopamine plays an important role in memory, learning, and motivation.

When we do something that is rewarded, such as getting a good grade or winning a game, our brain releases dopamine as a way of saying, “this feels good, so let’s remember this so we can do it again.”

The best way to think about dopamine is as the brain’s way of saying, “This feels good — let’s do more of it!” by providing a pleasurable reward for certain behaviors.

But too much or too little dopamine can have negative consequences.

For example, too little dopamine can cause depression and low motivation, while too much dopamine can lead to addiction and impulsive behavior. Therefore, it’s important to have just the right amount of dopamine in order to maintain a healthy balance.

Why You Need Open Loops of Pleasure During Sex

Most of us could stand to spice up our sex lives.

But studies show that dopamine, the feel-good hormone, can plummet during long-term relationships. The good news is that there are a few easy tricks to get your dopamine flowing again and keep the spark alive in your bedroom.

Not only that, but an open loop of dopamine simply feels really good.

Why wouldn’t we want to give our partners one of the best sexual experiences of their lives? And, you know, we get that experience, too.

These 5 Sex Tricks Trigger an Endless Dopamine Rush

There are at least five tricks that you can use to release an endless dopamine rush during sex.

What we want to do is hijack the natural dopamine process for a little bedroom fun. By using what we know about dopamine production, we can design regular dopamine kicks into our intimate adventures.

But, first, let’s look at the five sex tricks.

The Baker’s Delight Trick

Certain foods can trigger a dopamine rush in our brains, making us feel happy and satisfied.

Interestingly, this same dopamine rush can also be triggered during sex. In fact, some experts believe that incorporating food into our sexual exploits can help to increase pleasure and satisfaction.

Research published in Frontiers in Psychology all but says that your brain thinks food and sex are the same.

For example, we can bake cookies or use baked cookie-scented candles to set the mood.

We can include food during our sexual encounters, perhaps feeding each other strawberries or chocolate sauce (Yum!). By capitalizing on the power of food, we can enhance our sexual experiences and create lasting memories with our partners.

The Retail Trigger Trick

Shopping releases dopamine in the brain, which gives us a sense of pleasure and satisfaction.

Interestingly, research has shown that the dopamine release from shopping is greater when we buy something for someone else instead of ourselves. Psychologists coined the term “Helper’s High.”

So, if you’re looking to get a little dopamine hit, try gifting something to your partner during sex.

You could also schedule an Amazon delivery so it arrives just in time for your next bedroom session. Or, for more adventurous souls, you can create a little sexual scavenger hunt with small prizes along the way.

Whatever you do, just be sure to enjoy the dopamine-fueled ride.

The Crossfit Spike Trick

You’ve probably heard of the “runner’s high,” that feeling of euphoria that comes from a hard workout.

But what causes this feeling? It turns out that exercise also triggers a release of dopamine. This dopamine rush can help to improve mood and increase motivation.

We can use this knowledge to create an open loop of pleasure during sex.

What is an open loop of pleasure? It’s when we create a situation where the level of pleasure — or the anticipation of pleasure — is constantly increasing.

For example, if we start with gentle kisses and then gradually increase the intensity, we can keep our partner in a state of heightened arousal, making for a more pleasurable experience for both of us.

Of course, vigorous sex is a form of exercise all by itself.

By understanding how dopamine works, we can learn to harness its power and use it to enhance our sexual experiences.

The Special Something Trick

We all know that pleasurable activities can make us feel good.

After all, dopamine is often associated with activities like sex, eating, and taking drugs, but it can also be released by doing things we enjoy, like getting a massage or seeing a favorite photo or object.

When dopamine is released during sex, it helps to create an intense feeling of euphoria. This can be further enhanced by creating additional little dopamine “kicks” during the act.

You might give your partner a massage before getting started, or take a break to look at a favorite photo or watch a sexy video.

By adding these small activities into your sexual repertoire, you can help to ensure that both you and your partner experience maximum pleasure.

The Gamer Trick

You can gamify sex with dopamine goals and rewards.

As we pointed out earlier, dopamine is the big reward bank in your brain. Dopamine explodes when you win a game or reach a goal. This release of dopamine in the brain fuels feelings of happiness and satisfaction.

That’s why playing video games or social media apps can become so addictive.

Dopamine plays an important role in motivation and reinforcement learning. Our brain sometimes releases the chemical when we see a goal that we want to achieve. This release of dopamine drives our motivation to work towards the goal.

Then, once we achieve the goal, dopamine is again released as a reward for our efforts.

In this way, dopamine helps to reinforce our behaviors by providing pleasure when we engage in activities that are beneficial to us. It’s as if our brain is high-fiving us.

During sex, you can choose sexual goals with your partner:

• Who can turn each other on the fastest?
• Who orgasms first or last?
• Lasting for a certain amount of time.

Putting It All Together: The Ultimate Endless Loop of Dopamine

Imagine being able to trigger one of those dopamine rushes on demand.

That’s what you can do by incorporating a few simple tricks into your sex life. By using food, gifts, exercise, favorite things, and goal-oriented behaviors, you can keep the dopamine flowing all night long.

Here’s a closer look at each one:

• Food — Use your partner’s favorite foods to get them in the mood. Slowly run frozen popsicles or frozen grapes over your partner’s body. Eat something sugary during sex.
• Shopping/Gifts — Shop for sexy lingerie or a new toy together. Give each other gifts right before or during sex.
• Exercise: Get your blood flowing with some playful wrestling or other physical activity.
• Favorite Things: Recapture the excitement of your first date by doing something that you both enjoy. Watch sexy videos together. Give your partner a sensual body massage.
• Goal-Oriented Behaviors: Make a game out of reaching orgasm by seeing who can last the longest.

By combining these different methods, you can keep the dopamine flowing all night long and create the ultimate open loop of pleasure.

Final Thoughts

Since our bodies and brains are all different, a different mix of dopamine kicks might work better for you than they do for me.

And vice versa.

Also, it’s important to note that anyone who has used and abused substances might have damaged their dopamine machine.

That doesn’t mean they can’t experience pleasure but it may mean that they may face more challenges than others in reaching dopamine highs.
