Friday the 13th?
Not for me 😔
My grandma was born and died on Friday the 13th
More like 𝓕𝓻𝓮𝓪𝓴𝔂 the 13th with this video
Uhhhh Friday the 13th of what? What do you mean?
YES !!
why did i click on this notification bro.
fr bro

Same😭😭
Idk😭
To remember that you're alone? 😂 I feel you don't worry
This channel reminds me why its important to have headphones
Fr 😂
Take a shot of whisky every time they say "Orgasm".
Edit: My friend is now at the hospital.😎
Had the playlist on autoplay at work on the work computer. Waiting for IT to review search history 😂
Why is everyone so uncomfortable? This is really interesting information!
Small children probably
@@Generalist18 Didn't even think about that 😂
@@Shonade_Malik understandable these kids should be outside instead😅
@@Generalist18 Yeah they should really be doing something else than watching this 😂
Plus I don't hate I dislike kids that actually ruined it for everyone I just wanted to put that out there.
Bc ppl are sensitive and I don't want to cause any problems you know?
did i wanted to go to sleep? yes.
did i watched the whole video at 1am? also yes
you're the best! :D 1am is so late!
@@Psych2go i have sorta insomnia so i kinda roll with it
also thanks for the heart 😭🙏
It's 1:20am in Nigeria
I'm getting ready to sleep but I just had to jump in on psych2go
Did I do the same at 3am? FUCKING YESSSS
@@Karma1Vortex so real
I don't know why some comments find this weird if you have a partner this information can be really helpful
Cause they don’t grow up
@@Happiness11112you do know that this IS in fact psychology right
yeah but bro they make these sc.ecececec.... x., aimed videos it getting kinda annoying especially when you have no chance with dating or a relationship
came for mental health stuff not these constant sehhhhhhececece*****....... .x related v./dzz & funny enough anytime I comment something it gets deleted instantly... Hmm very suspicious indeed
@@slapshotjack9806 Oh they will, eventually they will discover how the world truly works. ;)
me with no intimate experience or a partner watching this: mmm yes science that is useful to me

So, ex-p*rn addict here and I have a question.
I decided to quit my addiction because after... doing the thing, I always felt an indescribable sense of shame, disgust and self loathing.
What is the science behind this?
Why do things seem desirable before and seem repulsive after orgasm? What causes that change of view?
Is it because the brain regains it's ability to judge and make decisions clearly?
I've done some research on this "post-nut clarity" but I'm by no means an expert.
It could be a crash from all the pleasure hormones during the act. You get so high your brain tries to find a way to regulate itself. It could be ingrained trauma from one's childhood too, lots of factors coming together. But so I hear it happens to men and women after masturbating or sexual intercourse with a partner.
Congratulations on trying to kick your addiction, I hope you the best of luck!
@@riarivera5995 Wow, thx for the info and support, I didn't really expect people to look it up like you did.
I would say the shame u feel is bcs u couldn’t hold it in and control ur self , so it’s a shame of your patience .
maybe 🤔 the same shame u feel when ur supposed to be studying but u played all day long , u feel ashamed of your own ability and control and how u got swayed in the moment for minutes of pleasure instead of years of pleasure.
I think your shame mostly comes from having to get off by watching p*rn
Post nut clarity is a bitch! Congratulations on getting over your porn addiction!
Very informative and honestly, needed it🌸 Did not regret watching this twice at 1³⁰am before heading to sleep now. Have a goodnight or day everyone🌸
Don't mind me, just passing by.
I am minding you
I will mind
I am also passing by
Idk why I clicked this but this is oddly informative and entertaining from a scientific standpoint
did NOT expect to see this in 2024.
@@KenjiLovesFarming why not? People still having sex lol
@@rtsmith2542 right 😂

@@Founderschannel123 stop it! 🤣
@@Founderschannel123 you can discreetly purchase toys online
Thought it said organisms and had to re-read the title a couple times
Ah, finally someone explained it to me in a way I understand. Now I know what's happening and at what exact point it gets wrong for me, now I can work with that, thank you Psych2Go!
I really appreciate you taking the time to teach us these things. It's very helpful and does a lot of work destigmatizing this kind of talk. Thanks so much!
I really wish School's health classes would have these lessons, I could have learned so much beforehand 😌
i can teach you, while we are in bed of course 😊
Happy Friday 13th.
Same to you! Do you believe in Friday the 13th?
thxs for wishing me a happy birthday!
@Psych2go nah, but it was an unlucky day for my grandma Laurie, when she went into labor and the next day after had my step dad. She was determined to have him on Sept 14th.
Fun fact: in Buffalo (and on the East Coast in general), many people consider 13 to be a lucky number! (Think the 13 colonies!)
@@Psych2goBtw not to be rude or anything but the decision making part of the brain doesnt shut off,it just becomes less active,though I get that there has to be some exaggerations for content lol
We got Psych2Go sex education arc before GTA VI
Ah hello nah.
Freak2Go moment
Im crying
😂😂😂😂😂😂
Load2Go and Milk2Get
😭💀
Freak2Go. Why did I imagine a midget in a suitcase?
What is the science behind not having an orgasm? Cause truth be told there are not enough people having them…mainly women. Why?! Help Psych2Go
This was a dope video
I think many reasons behind that, from brainwashing as children, non consensual events causing pelvic trauma, women not getting to know their own bodies and what feels good and what doesn't. (Many believe they'll go to hell when nothing in the Bible says that).
I hate leaving a reply, then an ad comes on and my reply is lost. I'm not writing all that again
@@recoveringsoul755i feel your frustration
@@recoveringsoul755 that should not happen. I apologize for that
Like this video says, it's a complex process, and if there's anything missing then the whole thing falls through -- and in particular, stress often messes things up! (But with women, there's an additional factor -- they need the RIGHT KIND of physical stimulation, which varies from one woman to the next, and if you're not familiar with the kind of stimulation YOUR woman requires, and/or you don't have the skill to give it to her, then you're unlikely to give her this, unless you get lucky!)
I love the whole brain science part, not just telling the phase, description, then thats it
I don't have a partner yet but this will be useful for study. Thank you ♥️
Thanks for this insightful video.
Guys this is an educational video. Not a video for people to act like little children.
Can you guys maybe do a video about how emotions get trapped in the spine? Because whenever I get my back cracked by a chiropractor, I cry that whole day
I needed to learn this, as I am quite young(about 13) and I wanted to know how these things work. Thank you!
Well -
Good To Know.......😳.......It's Always A Good Time For A Biology Lesson......... 🤷
Gang! I watch this for emotional support 😭 not THIS💀
😂😂😂
Well, sex is a big part in many people's relationships, which of course affect emotions.
Sex, entertainment, addiction, work, school, and many, many things matter.
Real lol
@@Nevritsa lot of people watching this channel don’t have relationships though, that’s why we seek emotional support online.
Sex2Go
Happy Friday, 13th
I really enjoyed this video.
Thankyou
yes this is normal but pysch2go used be a really different channel than sex education, it used to be about depression therapy and getting through things like that, i used to watch they’re videos for support but it changed so much and its okay to miss what they used to be. my brother makes jokes about them getting hacked because of how huge of a change it was, i miss old pysch2go.
Please don’t replace narrator Amanda 😢
Please make a one hour compilation video of a specific subject.
I feel uncomfortable, but I’m still growing, I’m still learning about stuff, I’m not going to decline any of your videos, and it’s really important that I learn about human bodies and how stuff works. I really love your videos even tho there like, uncomforting, I’d rather embrace the truth than just not learn about anything.
1:21 Lily and Michael!? Lmao, i love how your videos keep these random references for some of us to notice
I remember when Amanda still voiced this channel in 2022-2023. Those were the days when psych2go wasn't all about orgasms
@@Fragrance8331 Pepperidge farm remembers.
Where’s that lady narrator Amanda Silvera. I love her narrating all your videos 😊😊😊
insomnia means watching psych2go videos at 3 am in greece. 🔥
I don’t want to watch this video but I really want to 😭🙏
I found your videos informative, keep on uploading more interesting videos. 😊
I learn a lot here
Just looking at this video for a friend, yk...
Very cool to know the science behind this! Thank you!
This is really helpful and informative
2:34 this image made me laugh for no reason
@user-ICY-Andreid I pressed this and my dick immediately regretted.
Youre not the same, it was funny 😅
Why are some of the comments uncomfortable? They've talked about orgasm before.
I did not expect this vid 😀
I never realised it was so complex!
This was really informative because I didn’t fully understand what it was thanks for this info 🤭
Okay I already knew some of this but the fact that pain and pleasure get processed by the same parts in the brain is very interesting. Kinda explains why there are so many masochists lmao
Interesting, good video guys ❤
this format really suits me
So much of science. And all of it still theoretical to me. 😌
Another single sad day watching a video that's related to sex :'(
For some reason they do that a lot now.
@@YesIHaveManyProblemsThanks ye
@@minermole101 I miss when they would upload actually informative and helpful videos but I guess they dont get the views like this kind of video does.
@@minermole101 You don't need sex to orgasm, bro!
You’ll get some in due time. 😊
Great video by the way....!
I was wondering why I feel sleepy after orgasm. This explained it!

Control Center mentioned 🗣️🔥
LOLLL
1:30 was NOT expecting that, I'm watching this video for educational purposes only.
Why? This is education🙂.
What did i click on here 😂
I never really thought about how it worked. Just that it did.
It's funny, years past I wanted nothing to do with relationships and especially sex. Now though, I have a body I am comfortable with and my curiosity is peaked. I'm happy that Psych2Go is answering both the questions sex ed skipped over and the questions I didn't want in my later search suggestions. Thank you for these videos!
😍 nice video I love it ❤️❤️😍
This is feeling good look great
Everyone stay safe tonight. We got monsters out there.
ive never thought phych2go would make this video…
Hello
really liked this video
Just passing by as well
watching from afar
caught me at post nut clarity. great timing 👍🏽
😧
They need to include this in the birds and the bees.
Bro I am loving psych2go fr

A teacher is teaching a class and she sees that Johnny isn't paying attention, so she asks him, "If there are three ducks sitting on a fence, and you shoot one, how many are left?" Johnny says, "None." The teacher asks, "Why?" Johnny says, "Because the shot scared them all off." The teacher says, "No, two, but I like how you're thinking." Johnny asks the teacher, "If you see three women walking out of an ice cream parlor, one is licking her ice cream, one is sucking her ice cream, and one is biting her ice cream, which one is married?" The teacher says, "The one sucking her ice cream." Johnny says, "No, the one with the wedding ring, but I like how you're thinking!"
but what does this have to do with the video? 😭🙏🏾
This is education whether you like it or not. Maybe in the future, you will find ris useful.
awesome
At first glance , i saw it as "The Science of Organisms"
woah,thats kinda cool lol
idk y needed to know this
It's September, keep strong my fellow homies 💪
Edit: September gone
It’s a gift from God for spouses. Too bad not all of us are chosen to have spouses. 😐
No one notice the messed up hands/extra finger on the hand on the thumbnail?
Edit: the thumbnail changed, but the hand holding the man's face still looks wonky
Lol it is still messed up
As I've experienced so far as someone who'd never had direct sex. I can say my orgasm started in brain was often mixed with adrenaline. By the way .... I still love watching horror movies home alone without meeting anyone outside.
Why is every psych2go video now about sex and dating?
Is that an omori picture?? I think that i've see that pic but w different colors..
Where's the female voice?
Nice
Did someone did it wearing a helmet with sensors for the sience, its the only way of getting that data

What is the science around having nocturnal emissions? Also, there needs to be better research on these in women because I can't find a lot of answers.
I don’t understand how after learning how pleasurable and positively emotional all this is meant to be, I still have a strong fear of intimacy. I don’t know what causes it. I crave intimacy, including sex, but even a hug (or learning someone wants to initiate one) can make me feel tense. I wish I knew why and that it wasn’t like this
Intimacy should be feared/respected/not taken lightly, it has major consequences and effects for both men and women, which own modern media landscape tries to make us ignore / forget. People far to often mistake lust for love/bonding/commitment. Our brain stem and limbic brains both's primary objective is to pass on our DNA and not really care about how that effects us. Only the logic outer brains neocortex restrains us from being like rabbits, because somewhere deep in our conscience we know that intimacy without looking for long term commitment detrimentally impacts our chances of being able to make that commitment in subsequent attempts at finding a healthy long term stable mutually beneficial relationship. Too much lust fueled intimacy reduces oxytocin / vasopressin's ability to bond us to other people because like all drugs/substances, our brain builds up tolerance / resistance to them. Best wishes.
@@Sanguinarius9999waiter waiter i did Not order a YAPPachino
So it's all chemicals ? So we're we ever in love or just addicted to oxytocin😅😢
even if its all chemicals that doesn't mean our fates are predetermined or that the love isint real
Chemicals = lust. Love takes time, appreciating peoples quirks and flaws and wiling to sacrifice/restrain yourself from your own wants / needs / desires for their benefit

Little of Column A, little of Column O! LmMFaO!!! ;) :P :o)
Well if you have sex with someone and with some time passing, if you feel like you magically "like" someone more after having sex, it's not soley the person what would make you think of them, it would be like a reward given for a random loot box. Instead of being being attractive to the specific loot in the box, your getting hooked on specifically "random loot box". It can play out well if you get lucky with a random skin, but alot of people get disappointed when they got excited on a item that wasn't truly appealing to begin with.
did u stalk my search history hello???
Erm
Bro there is no way you getting monetization for this one
Idk why, but i always feel thirsty after doing it for so long. 😂 And i mean generally thirty, for context.
Sure pal lol
