Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Prolactin is the hormone associated with sexual satiety that is released after orgasm. While both men and women can experience orgasm alone, the release of prolactin is greater after intercourse and orgasm with a partner, leading to a greater feeling of sexual fulfillment. Estrogen is a female sex hormone, serotonin is a neurotransmitter that affects mood, and epinephrine is a hormone released during a fight or flight response. None of these are directly associated with sexual satiety.
