One of the crowning moments of an athlete’s career is often the joy that comes with winning a medal.
When you’re happy and successful, your body produces serotonin, sometimes known as the “happy hormone.
” Now picture this: you’ve just won an Olympic gold medal; your serotonin levels would be over the roof.
A new world or Olympic record-holder will undoubtedly experience an overabundance of dopamine, the “feel-good” hormone and neurotransmitter that plays a pivotal role in the brain’s reward system.
Nelson also brought up the significance of “variety in sex,” which might be the reason why the athletes act like it’s spring break at the Olympic Village.
“Perhaps the pursuit of sex can be more rewarding for some people due to the increased releases of adrenaline, dopamine, and other chemicals that contribute to thrill and adventure,” she concluded, claiming that sexual diversity can achieve this.
