Dopamine? the thing that makes you happy? interesting...
Actually it's far more complicated than that, some studies suggest that without dopamine it is possible for a creature to experience pleasure but will not have any drive to seek pleasure. Thus dopamine could be important in reward anticipation rather than reward itself.

low dopamine = low sex drive?
Dopamine is involved in many different processes and low dopamine is associated with depression, ADHD and Parkinson's to name a few.
Parkinson's is caused by the death of dopamine excreting cells, the exact cause of the die off is unknown but it isn't because sufferers didn't have enough fun.
