Prolactin is often referred to as the "cuddle hormone" or the "satisfaction hormone" as it is released after sexual intercourse and promotes feelings of relaxation, contentment, and sexual satisfaction. While estrogen and testosterone also play important roles in sexual function, they do not necessarily contribute to the feelings of satisfaction and contentment experienced after sexual intercourse. Serotonin is a neurotransmitter that plays many roles in the body, but is not specifically linked to sexual satisfaction.
