I was watching a show the other day when they said "Hot girls" bring out the same chemical in men as cocaine...


Can someone elaborate on this a little more for me?
Cocaine mostly causes levels of dopamine to increase in the brain (most of this effect isn't done by creating more, but by stopping it from being destroyed--inhibiting reuptake). Dopamine is basically the chemical that causes the sensation of pleasure. I'm not really sure if just seeing a "hot girl" would cause it to be created in one's body, but I'm fairly certain it is created during sex... that could be what the show meant.
