Read many Opinions before me and I deduced one thing: most know how it feels, but could not express their Opinions. So let me try to put not all into a summary.

1) definitions: in life, we seek contentment + happiness. So what are they?

A) Contentment is an inward quality. We can choose to be contented with what we have and "count our blessings" or complain about everything in life.

It is closely related to "self-satisfaction" and it can last through time, even a lifetime.

B) happiness is a state of euphoria, possibly driven by chemicals. When we are happy, we laugh, we tease, we enjoy the state of mind that put us "on top of the world".

But happiness don't last. On the timeline of life, it dotted throughout.

E. g. we feel happiness when our frienda and relatives celebrate our birthdays; or when we passed our exams; or when we have great fun in sports, in the cinema, and of course in the bedroom.

2) with the above definitions, sex do bring happiness particularly orgasms are known to produce "happy" hormones.

But in itself, the happiness is short-lived and if a breakup happens, that happiness turned into sadness.

3) however, if sex is used as a means to enhance intimacy and love, then contentment in life occurs.

In the person's timeliness, that good relationship brings contentment daily as long as the relationship stays.

And whenever there is sex, that episode creates a "high point" in the couples life and the process continues.

Hence, my Opinion is, sex in itself do give short-term euphoria. But in a loving relationships, sex builds stronger contentment and greater happiness in life than many other engagement do.

It definitely helps but it's more of a survival need with food and water. Does food bring happiness? Does water? Of course. And we die without it.

Only if I have a really strong emotion towards them could it accentuate my level of happiness. Otherwise, it is a damn rare occurrence with me.

Yes if it gives you a little poop machine. You will be happier for brief seconds followed by miserable for many hours. But those brief seconds are really nice.
