You are so misguided.  Sex releases chemicals all right, chemicals that
bond you to the person you are having sex with (heterosexual sex mind
you).  So if the person you are having sex with leaves you, that doesn't
make you happy.  It is hard to break a sexual bond, very hard.  If a
person is left by one sex partner after another, their ability to bond
is impaired and the net effect does not make them happier.  It's like
sticking tape on your skin and pulling it off over and over and over
again.  Eventually, the tape won't stick anymore.  The tape is a
metaphor for one's ability to bond sexually.  The human mind is made
for one sex partner for life.  You can't "get some" from just anybody
and be happy.  Use and abuse is just that, use and abuse.
