Oxytocin and prolactin.

Multiple part of your brain are involved in having an orgasm. Essentially, your brain goes an explosion, just not one area, but multiple areas at the same time. Like the thalamus becomes more sensitive. That's how you can have more sexual fantasies. You have more sensitivity to touch and also movement.
