There is a group of people who normally call “sensation seekers”.

They are restless natures, pleasure of risk and often emotions are those that determine their life status.

These are the people who live on the edge, devoid of brakes and inhibitions, love adventures, challenges, and maintain permanent conquests and their thirst for life.

Preferably constant movement that is vital to the spirit and body, like the avant-garde music, artistic bars and exotic trips are their element.

Contact and highly emotional – they quickly friendships and sometimes superficial.

Unconventional love, even with some degree of dangerous sex.

Hate routines at all – at work or routine daily life is certain death for them. They are dominant, barzomisleshti and making decisions without hesitation natures.

Another group of people are fundamentally different:

They love it familiar and well trodden paths and things, stereotypes, followed by experience and in no case would risk has been achieved. Their connections are persistent and wise.

Have some conservatism, but dedicated to their sequence and their systematic pursuit of the objectives, tolerance and respect them make them desirable and sought friends or associates.

These people tend to focus, analyze, order, precision and harmony are essential for their spiritual comfort.

Compromise that for themselves are not a burden but a reasonable way to defend what they like.

They are prudent, balanced, ordered, reasonable.

Naturally, the above two groups of people are extremes. Most of us are mixed, including the qualities of one and the other group.

We end this distinction in order to get to the heart – which is what distinguishes each of us in temperament and taste of other people and influences our choice if they ever choose in the experience of pleasure. The reasons are certainly different – and genetic and social.

Essentially, however, is dopamine, as they call it – the taste of pleasure. This is the hormone that drives in the brain and is a major contributor to our insatiable desire for pleasure and extreme experiences.

Scientists classify it in the group of mediators that transmit impulses from one nerve cell to another and thereby causes a rapid and rhythmic effect of the whole organism.

Synthesized in the brain during sex, increased release of adrenaline, a eat in vkusotiiki causing a series of chemical reactions triggered stimulating the intellect and emotions. This affects all of our behavior.

Interestingly, what determines the concentration of dopamine?

It was discovered a gene that encodes the dopamine receptor – D4DR. Differences in its construction affects our self-esteem and emotional stability. The more long protein chain, the greater is the desire for new and extraordinary experiences.

Of course, environmental influences, upbringing, life experiences may enhance or suppress genetic predisposition.

In other words, it appears that this kind are what type is genetically determined and it’s all about protein synthesis. We can sleep with peace of conscience. We are not at all guilty for what we are. Our happiness depends on the individual alignment of our internal needs in terms that life offers us … and sharing them with our partners.

Is there a “dopamine compatibility” between the partners?

The thesis that the attraction between people based on their differences and complementary opposites is generally true, but it suffers reconsideration. Several studies show that the difference in the concentration of dopamine in the brain, ie different affinity for new experiences two people can cause much of the connectivity problems. The combination of extremely different, extreme partners most often leads to sexual problems and loss of desire.

If you find that person to you is the other pole, try to appreciate the security and authenticity that he / she brings to your relationship. Not him / her forced acts contrary to his nature. So no one was hurt, but will hardly be satisfied.

If you are balanced and provident type and your spouse belongs to the “sensation seekers” do not count that over the years and through the power of love that will change. Use your intellect and see all the liabilities and assets of your co-partnership. Do not miss the most important: achieving harmony in the relationship partly explains the meaning of life!

Naturally, everything is a matter of personal choice. But you know best that there is no happiness resigned, and when this is not your man with the good feeling just remain friends and continue to look carefully his “mate”!
