What this episode covers

Understanding how to use your hormones to tap into your deepest desires. I discuss desire from the neural-chemical perspective, as well as the role of testosterone in sexual desire and the differences in this desire between the sexes. I touch on how dopamine is made, and why it is not selfish but rather important to seek pleasure for the sake of enjoyment.
