No kidding
Scientists reckon that sex with a 'partner' is 400% better:
Lovers know only too well that men usually need a "recovery period" after orgasm, and that sexual intercourse with orgasm is more satisfying than an orgasm from masturbation alone. Now scientists think the two phenomena might be linked.
Following orgasm, the hormone prolactin is released into the bloodstream in both men and women. The hormone makes us feel satiated by countering the effect of dopamine, which is released during sexual arousal.
This explains why orgasm from intercourse is more satisfying than masturbation, says Brody. Since elevated levels of prolactin have been linked to erectile dysfunction, this may also explain why most men need a recovery period after sex.
I wonder where they get their volunteers?

400 times better?
Nothing could be that good.
D'oh! 400% = 4 times as good.
Me stoopid.
Hehe. It's OK when you make a silly error. The other day I was discussing with maths PhD's how it's annoying when you make a mistake and then people give you shit for it. Or they ask you to add up the bill. Mathematician <> Calculator. Idiots.
For the masturbation part, I reckon so Martini. What about the sex but?
Just noticed I ended that last question with 'but'. English reckon that's a real Aussie thing to do.
