    Sounds like the euphoria could also be from feeling relief that you finally have access to it?

      that’s definitely part of it, but sex hormones interact with* neurotransmitters and the mental/emotional stuff tends to hit first, before any physical effects take place.

        Not countering what you experienced, but sex hormones are not neurotransmitters. There may be some interactions with the neurotransmitter system but it they are not themselves.
