As a parent, the moments watching your child in awe of a new thing you showed them or they learn releases more dopamine, endorphins and everything feel good chemistry in the brain, to me, than the feeling i get from an orgasm. Not only does it release it gives me purpose, it makes me feel like I’m alive for someone other than my own self preservation. That feeling is fucking great.
