Many chemicals are released when the body experiences pleasure. Dopamine is one f them and is released in the brain when pleasure is experienced, and is increased when many recreational drugs are used - this is partly responsible for the strong euphoric effect and addictive potential. There are other neurotransmitters that also are responsible for pleasure and they would include serotonin, melatonin, oxytocin, endorphins and enkephalins.

Dopamine

Well yes dopamine, but many more are involved.

Oxytocin is the main love and sex neurotransmitter, it is released during orgasm and is released during the lust stage of attraction.

Norepinephrine is also a main neurotransmitter in relation to the limbic system, being a key point of depression and other disorders.

Dopaminergic chemicals are the main in the pleasure center, but there are many more.
