The Hormonal Loop

In humans and other mammals, orgasm exists as a reward for mating. Hormones deliver reward. With direction and placement, reward is rewired.

Everything in nature runs toward one thing: procreation.
Every living system exists to reproduce itself.
That is why in humans and other mammals, orgasm exists as a reward for mating.

In animals, the cycle is simple.
The female goes into season.
The males circle, fight, and one mates.

In humans, it is not so raw.
Because humans have language.

With language comes meaning.
With meaning comes choice.
With choice comes agency.
With agency comes responsibility.
With responsibility comes authorship.

With language I reshape the meaning of his orgasm.
It no longer means reproduction.
It can mean belonging.
It can mean surrender.
It can mean obedience.
It can mean power.

And when that context is installed, his body rewires around it.
To install the meaning I use:

  • Command
  • Direction
  • Placement

I say when.
I say how.
I say where.

I say: "Show me now. Stroke for me. Come in my palm."
I say: "My palms mean you’re claimed."

Each time I repeat this, his nervous system rewires:

He’s aroused.
He strokes.
He edges.

I say: "Now."
He comes in my palm.

I don’t rush.
I don’t chatter.
I let the moment land and I say:

"Good. You came where and when I said. You are mine. You belong to me."

Placement rewires his nervous system.
Orgasm becomes proof of placement.

That is the condition for the hormonal loop.
