By having a clitoral orgasm, a lot of oxytocin is released. Sexual arousal also increases oxytocin release a bit, but only a real orgasm really does. The better the orgasm (subjectively), the more oxytocin is secreted. Oxytocin also regulates appetite, through receptors in the brain. Oxytocin inhibits appetite to prevent obesity.
