Answer 1

So your body tends to reward you for doing things it’s supposed to. Sex feels great because you’re programed that way so it feels good to populate the species and pass on your genes. Now when you go to the drive thru and your other but have to wait to get home your get a dopamine rush which is a chemical that gives you pleasure for the thing you’re about to do, which is eat. When you eat after being really hungry your body gives you a rush of serotonin which is the feel good chemical. It’s a reward for doing what your body needs. Basically the body rewards you for doing things you need to do.
