what happens to the brain when you’re horny

1.84K viewsBiologyOther

Lots of times i masturbate to fantasies or things that are actually disgusting but that I find hot if I have a boner and cause me serious remorses sometimes. I keep reading that the brain just works differently but I need a specific description of what changes and why everything is even worse post nut.
EDIT: If it can help, I’m 17.

EDIT: I was thinking maybe it’s bc I’m a very curious guy and I see my horniness as “let’s see how deep we can go today”. What do you think?

Sex can sometimes be messy and potentially gross, so your brain evolved to reduce the feelings of disgust during sexual arousal so that you have a higher chance of passing on your genes.

Depending on what your fantasies are, the misattribution of arousal could also be at play. Physiologically, some emotions have the same effects on your body, and thus your brain interprets which emotion you think you are feeling. Fear and anger for example can have a similar effect to sexual attraction and arousal.
