Sex chemical

Does anyone know the name of the sex chemical similar to amphetamine that humans are naturally "overdosed" on during orgasm? I was reading about it yesterday but forgot the name.

I've never heard of overdosing on a sex chemical . .. :)

I'm gonna guess endorphins or pheramones?

yea, I hadn't either until yesterday. I think its an endorphine, starts with "ph".

pheramones?

I think this is it.

Never heard of ODing on them though.

I found this: During orgasm, a number of brain chemicals are released: prolactin hormone, phenylethylamine (also found in chocolate) and endorphin. The latter two are addictive, and abstinence may result in cravings and mild depression. You're right Stevielynn and Begalli.
