Why we get goosebumps from pleasure?

200 viewsBiologyOther

More specifically mental pleasure, like hearing a really great song, or beholding an awesome view.
What is going on in our bodies/brain that leads to goosebumps from these things?

I am also interested in why we get goosebumps from physical pleasure, like a head scratch or someone tracing your skin

Short answer is we just don’t really know. It’s just a thing that happens to us under certain stimulation, for example from touch or sound. It’s different for every person too, for example music that I like may give me goosebumps, while somebody else would feel nothing at all, because it doesn’t appeal to them.
