eli5 how do ejaculations feel good?

246 views

the question’s pretty straightforward. i heard orgasms being described as like a drug but if its a burst of seratonin in the brain why is it that the pleasure always comes from the groin area not the whole body?

Science can’t fully explain why *anything* “feels like” anything (what it’s like to eat a strawberry, smash your thumb with a hammer, etc.). In other words, although we understand how nerves turn rubbing or pressure into nerve signals, we don’t understand why the activity of parts of the brain results in experiencing anything. We haven’t cracked the (famous within philosophy) “mind-body problem” yet.

Ask this in the (probably far) future and maybe you can get an answer. But as of today, it’s a baffling mystery.
