Why do we get horny?

It sounds like a simple question, but sexual desire is a lot more complicated than just hormones. In this episode, we break down what actually happens in your brain and body when you get turned on, including the roles of testosterone, dopamine, stress, sleep, attraction, fantasy, novelty, anticipation, and feeling desired.

We also talk about why the same person can drive you crazy one day and do absolutely nothing for you the next, why your body can be aroused when your brain isn’t, and why wanting sex and physically responding to sex are not always the same thing.

Basically, horniness is not one chemical, one hormone, or one switch.

It’s your brain deciding that sex sounds rewarding right now.
