What are some Books about how Sexual Arousal affects our State of Consciousness?

What are some good books on how sexual arousal affects our state of consciousness? Recently I have been thinking about how sexual activity affects and can alter our state of consciousness. When we are highly aroused especially during intercourse we often enter what feels like a trance like state. The intensity of peak sexual arousal can feel almost psychedelic at times.

I wanted to better understand how the sexual experience can alter our perception to such a degree so as to make us feel totally entranced and sometimes even to the point where the sexual experience can feel almost psychedelic. I’m interested in how hormones such as oxytocin play a role, as well as other mechanisms involved during sexual experience that can affect our state of consciousness. Any suggestions are appreciated.
