I've heard that chocolate has one of the same chemicals that is released into the body during sex/an orgasm... I don't know if it's true since I never bothered looking into it.
 Hi Madame Dahlia,
sissy Must apologize, Ma'am, but he got a little sidetracked with some other posts and he forgot to reply to this one  . From what sissy remembers, Ma'am, chocolate contains the chemical phenylethylamine (a.k.a. PEA) which is the same chemical that the human brain purportedly produces when one "falls in love." This is presumably why candy and chocolate have been associated with Valentine's Day long before medical science ever knew of the existence of this chemical.
However, sissy is a little skeptical here. "Falling in love" is hardly a concept that medical science can explain, nor really even tries to explain. Medical science does address the mechanics of the human sex act (viz. coitus) and accordingly can fully account for why the male and female genitalia - and other erogenous zones - behave the way that they do. And psychology does have some pretty tenable theories for what makes Sadists, masochists, fetishists, and transgendered folk (like all of us here at CollarMe) tick ... although some of these theories are still in the realms of pseudo-science IsHO. But there is nothing really substantial that has been written yet that grants serious medical credence to the concept that we humans all understand as "falling in love."
So if You go to Your Doctor tomorrow, Ma'am, and ask him to give You a prescription to help You "fall in love" - or even to prevent You from "falling in love" - he'll just look at You over the top of his glasses as if You are crazy. In fact, he may even prescribe something right there and then to help You get over Your "crazy turn" without You even requesting it! So if "falling in love" is simply the result of the brain producing the chemical PEA, then doctors the world over would, by now, be making a fortune by prescribing this chemical for us - or even better, giving us all "love shots" like they give us flu shots today. Look at how doctors are only too happy to prescribe Viagra for anyone that requests it!
The reason that PEA is associated with "falling in love" - or "love-sickness" - is, sissy believes, more because of negative connotations rather than positive supportive ones. Those "falling out of love" are the ones reported as becoming compulsive chocolate eaters, apparently trying to replenish and repair the body's loss of this PEA compound ... or so the myth goes! The fact that the lovelorn frequently seek comfort and succour in chocolate really does nothing to prove that chocolate (or more specifically, PEA, the "chocolate amphetamine") will cause one to "fall in love" in the first place. Most, if not all, chocolate-derived PEA is metabolized before it ever reaches the central nervous system. Yet some people may be sensitive to its effects in very small quantities.
However, as a counter to that argument, sissy will relate here the fact that the celebrated Italian libertine, Giacomo Casanova, invariably consumed chocolate before bedding his conquests. But this was on account of the 18th century belief in chocolate's reputation as a subtle aphrodisiac. Which is, of course, the point that sissy originally made in his initial post on this thread.
Your own proffered explanation that PEA - if indeed this is the same chemical that You were thinking about, Ma'am - may be released into our bloodstream either just before, or as a result of, orgasmic release may make a lot more sense than that this chemical is associated with / responsible for humans "falling in love." But sissy thinks that the chemical that is released in association with sex is a different one, Ma'am. Interestingly enough, like other palatable sweet foods, consumption of chocolate triggers the release of endorphins, the body's endogenous opiates. Enhanced endorphin-release will, of course, reduce the chocolate-eater's sensitivity to pain. It is most likely endorphins that contribute to the warm inner glow induced in susceptible chocaholics !!
So why is chocoholicism not listed as a BDSM interest on CollarMe ? It's just not fair! As a crossdressing chocolate lover, lola feels that he should be able to present on CollarMe as the true chocoholicissy that he really is ...
Curtsies,
sissy maid lola
